中國載人航天工程體現(xiàn)了中國的綜合國力，提升了中國的國際威望。發(fā)展載人航天需要依靠先進(jìn)的技術(shù)水平、發(fā)達(dá)的工業(yè)基礎(chǔ)和雄厚的經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力，對(duì)當(dāng)今世界的政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)和科技等諸多方面具有重大影響，已成為衡量一個(gè)國家綜合國力的重要標(biāo)志。

The history of space exploration in China1)stretches back to 900 A.D., when2)innovators in the country3)pioneered the first rudimentary rockets. Although China did not participate in the space race of the mid-20th century, the country had begun to pursue space travel by the late 1950s. The China National Space Administration sent the first Chinese4)astronaut into space in 2003. Today, China is a major player in the worldwide space exploration effort.

Chinese5)taikonauts have conducted seven manned spacefliɡhts.

中國太空探索的歷史可追溯到公元900年，當(dāng)時(shí)中國的創(chuàng)新者開創(chuàng)了第一枚火箭雛形。雖然中國沒有參加20世紀(jì)中期的太空競賽，但到20世紀(jì)50年代末，中國已經(jīng)開始進(jìn)行太空探索。2003年，中國國家航天局將第一位中國航天員送入太空。今天，中國是世界空間探索的主要參與者。

目前，中國已進(jìn)行了7次載人航天飛行。

Yang Liwei became well-known as China's first taikonaut in space after8)orbiting the earth 14 times and traveling some 600,000 kilometers in space in 21 hours.

中國于2003年首次進(jìn)行載人航天飛行，成為繼俄羅斯和美國之后世界上第三個(gè)自主開展載人航天試驗(yàn)的國家。

SHENZHOU-6 神舟六號(hào)

Two years later, a second manned spacefliɡht in 2005 put two other taikonauts Fei Junlonɡ and Nie Haishenɡ on a five-day journey in space.

The mission aimed to master technology relating to a“multi-person and multiday”orbital fliɡht, as well as to carry out manned space-related scientific experiments and medical experiments.

兩年后，2005年的第二次載人航天飛行中，另外兩名航天員費(fèi)俊龍和聶海勝進(jìn)行了為期五天的太空之旅。

該任務(wù)旨在掌握與“多人和多天”軌道飛行有關(guān)的技術(shù)，以及進(jìn)行載人航天有關(guān)的科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)和醫(yī)學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)。

SHENZHOU-7 神舟七號(hào)

In 2008, China had its first spacewalker.Taikonaut Zhai Zhigang, who was then 42 years old, ventured out of the earth-orbiting Shenzhou-7 spacecraft and became the first Chinese to leave a “footprint in the universe”.China thus became the third country in the world9)capable of spacewalks.

Two other taikonauts Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng were also onboard the Shenzhou-710)spacecraft.

2008年，中國首次擁有了太空行走者。當(dāng)時(shí)42歲的中國航天員翟志剛冒險(xiǎn)走出了環(huán)繞地球軌道飛行的神舟七號(hào)飛船，成為第一個(gè)在宇宙中留下“足跡”的中國人。因此，中國成為世界上第三個(gè)有能力進(jìn)行太空行走的國家。

另外兩名航天員劉伯明和景海鵬也登上了神舟七號(hào)飛船。
