China plans to build a manned 'lunar palace' powered by the sun to explore the moon and act as a launchpad for missions to Mars

计划修建太阳能的驻人月宫探索月球，并据此进一步推进火星计划。

The outpost is expected to have multiple tube-shaped cabins that link up and provide oxygen to people inside, according to a video seen by Chinese media.

媒体的一段视频显示，这个前哨点将由多个管状小屋相连并为里面的住户提供氧气。

The 'scientific research' base, which will be primarily fuelled by solar power, marks the latest step in Beiing's ambitious space programme.

这个“科学研究”基地的主要能量来源于太阳能，标志着北京雄心勃勃的太空计划的最新进展。

China's National Space Administration hopes to land astronauts on the moon in 2030, with the goal of examining the lunar poles.

国家航天局希望在2030年将宇航员送上月球，探索月极。

There is currently no date for when the lunar outpost will be ready.

这个月球前哨何时将准备就绪，尚没有准确日期。

'In the future, we will explore the lunar poles and build a science research station,' the agency said in video which outlines the new plans.

航天局在视频中说：“未来我们将探索月极并建立一个科学研究站。”

'We believe that the Chinese nation's dream of residing in a "lunar palace" will soon become a reality.

“我们相信，中华民族在“月宫”居住的梦想不久将成为现实。”

'In the new space era, our nation will aim farther in space than the moon and explore Mars.'

“在新的太空时代，的太空目标不会止步于月球和火星。”

China is using its economic might to pursue an aggressive space programme as it strives to narrow the gap with the United States in space exploration.

正利用经济实力实施积极的太空计划，以缩小与美国在太空探索方面的差距。

Last April, a Chinese space official said Beiing was discussing a future moon outpost with the European Space Agency, but few details later emerged.

去年4月，一名航天官员表示，北京正在与欧洲航天局讨论未来的月球前哨，但之后并未传出合作细节。

The country's first manned space mission launched in 2003, with astronaut Yang Liwei completing 14 orbits of Earth before returning to the planet.

2003年，首次载人航天任务开始，宇航员杨利伟在返回地球之前绕地球飞行了14圈。

Four years later the National Space Administration fired its first robotic probes to the moon. The agency has since carried out several lunar missions.

四年后，国家航天局向月球发射了第一个机器人探测器。此后国家航天局又开展了多次月球任务。

Its fourth lunar probe is set to be launched by the end of this year, with a destination set for the dark side of the moon.

第四个月球探测器将于今年年底发射，既定终点是月球阴暗面。

Chinese scientists hope the probe will improve observations into deep space.

科学家希望探测器能让他们观测到更遥远的太空。

Another lunar probe scheduled for next year will collect soil samples and take them back to Earth.

另一个将于明年发射的月球探测器将收集月球土壤样本并带回地球。

Wang Liheng, a senior space scientist, said that China's lunar palace would follow successful probes and manned space mission.

资深太空科学家王立恒表示，的月宫将在探测器和载人航天任务获得成功后进行修建。

'The first step, our researchers suggest, will be sending our astronauts to the moon to perform short-term explorations,' he told state-run news outlet China Daily.

他在接受官方媒体《日报》采访时说，“我们的研究人员建议，第一步是把宇航员送上月球，进行短期探索。”

Mr Wang, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said a manned lunar station would help scientists explore how to exploit the moon's resources.

工程院院士王先生表示，驻人月球站将帮助科学家探索如何利用月球资源。

It could also provide a starting point for future manned missions to Mars.

它也可以作为未来的载人火星任务的起点。

Mr Wang told the state broadcaster China Central Television: 'Let's get a person on the moon before we go deeper into space, with the next target being Mars.'

王先生向中央电视台表示：“让我们在进入更浩瀚的太空之前，向月球派驻一人，然后朝着下一个目标火星进军。”

A self-sustaining and semi-permanent presence on another planetary body would be a major milestone for humanity, possibly the greatest yet. It would make what great things NASA do look like children playing.

在另一个行星体上的自给自足和半永久居住会成为人类的重要里程碑，甚至可能是最伟大的里程碑。这会让NASA的伟大成就像是过家家而已。

DM; there is not a dark side of the moon; far side of the moon is the correct term.

每日邮报，月球才没有阴暗面呢；应该这么说才对：月球远端

roderik77, East Essex, United Kingdom, 10 hours ago

The "dark side" of the Moon is the side away from us and not visible from Earth. "Dark" in this sense means "hidden or secret" and has been used for years. There's also the "dark of the Moon" referring to when the Moon is not visible ie between Old Moon, and New Moon. The phrases have been in use for centuries.

月球的“阴暗面”离我们较远，从地球上看不到。“阴暗”在这里意味着“隐秘或秘密”，这个说法已经被使用了很多年了。还有“月暗期”指的是在下弦月和新月交替期间月球不可见的时期。这些短语已经使用了好几个世纪了。

They felt differently about the USSR 50 years ago. Then it was the "Space Race" - who could land a man on the moon first.
