Hello, Captain Brown. You're back on Earth now. Are you happy to be back?
你好,布朗机长,你现在回到地球了,感觉开心吗?
Well, yes and no. It's great to see my family again, but I also miss the International Space Station. I've gotten used to floating around just wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
嗯,既开心又不开心。与家人重逢是很好的,但我也很想念国际空间站。我已经适应只穿短裤和T恤衫飘来飘去的生活了。
So let me ask about the space station. Was eating in space difficult?
我想问问空间站的事。在太空吃饭困难吗?
Not really. We don't have to cook in space. We chose what we want to eat before we go to space, and then the food is prepared and stored for us. We just have to heat the food and enjoy it.
并不难,我们在太空中不用做饭。在前往太空之前,我们就选好了自己想吃的食物,工作人员就把这些食物准备、储存好了。我们只需要把它们加热一下就可以吃了。
Cool. Well, I know astronauts cannot shower in space since the water would float away, so I'd love to know how you keep yourselves clean.
很好。嗯,我知道宇航员在太空里没法洗澡,因为水会飘走,所以我想知道你是如何让自己保持干净的。
Oh, we use a soapy towel to wash. And we brush our teeth the same way as we do on Earth. But astronauts usually swallow their toothpaste.
哦,我们用肥皂毛巾来洗澡,我们刷牙的方式和在地球上一样,但宇航员通常会把牙膏咽下去。
Gosh, I hope it tasted good! So how long did you stay in space during your last mission?
天哪,但愿这味道还不错!那你上一次出任务时在太空待了多久?
I was there for more than five months.
我待了五个多月。
Wow! So what kind of work did you do up there?
哇哦!那你在太空中做了什么工作?
I was usually busy doing different experiments.
我通常忙着做各种实验。
Did you have any free time? Do astronauts get time off?
你有自由时间吗?宇航员有休息时间吗?
Yes. When I was free, I played the guitar. That's right—I took my guitar with me. I also played chess. My favourite thing to do, though, was to have my weekly video call with my family.
有的,我在休息时会弹吉他,是的——我带了一把吉他。而且我还会下棋。但我最喜欢做的事还是每周和我的家人进行视频通话。
