Run, rabbit, run! China releases 308lb rover named Jade Rabbit 2 to trundle across the far side of the moon at a maxmum speed of 220 yards per hour carrying out mineral, biological and radiation tests as it prepares to build a 'lunar base'
兔子，快跑!“玉兔二号”月球车，重308磅、以220码/小时的最高时速在月球背面滑，将进行矿物、生物和辐射测试，并准备建立“月球基地”
A Chinese rover is making its tracks on the soft surface of the 'dark' side of the moon after touching down on our nearest celestial neighbour.
一辆月球车在距离我们最近的天体-月球“背面”着陆后，在月球表面留下足迹。
The Yutu-2 - or Jade Rabbit 2 - rover drove off its lander's ramp and onto the exterior of the moon's far side at 10:22pm Beiing time (2:22 pm GMT) on Thursday, about 12 hours after the Chinese spacecraft carrying it came to rest.
北京时间周四晚10点22分(格林威治时间下午2点22分)，“玉兔二号”月球车驶离着陆器斜坡，在月球背面着陆，此时距离运载“玉兔二号”的航天器进入静止状态大约12个小时。
China's space agency later posted a photos online, revealing lunar rover several yards away from the spacecraft.
航天局随后在网上发布了一张照片，显示月球车距离着陆器有几码远。
The tracks it makes on the surface of the moon will be forever immotalised and will never be lost as there is no wind on the moon due to its lack of an atmosphere.
“玉兔二号”在月球表面留下的痕迹将永远不会消失，因为月球上没有大气层，没有风。
By 5pm Beiing time (9am GMT) the three 15-foot long antennaes on Chang'e-4 had also been fully unfurled to enable the low-frequency radio spectrometre to begin work.
北京时间下午5点(格林威治时间上午9点)，“嫦娥四号”上的三根15英尺长的天线也已完全展开，使低频无线电频谱仪能够开始工作。
The rover which is currently meandering around the moon on six independently controlled wheels, has also established a robust connection with its relay satellite, Queqiao.
目前，该月球车依靠六个独立控制的轮子上绕月球漫步，它还与中继卫星“鹊桥”建立了稳固的连接。
Yutu-2 has already completed environmental perception, route planning, walking to where it is pictured currently and starting its scientific operations.
“玉兔二号”已经完成了环境感知、路线规划、行走到目前的位置，以及启动其科学操作。。
Chinese state media also reports that the cameras on the machine have been turned on and are working normally.
官方媒体还报道说，月球车上的摄像头已经打开，并开始正常工作。
Other equipment will be turned on one by one, according to the Chinese space agency CNSA.
据国家航天局称，其他设备将逐一开启。
Yutu-2 is expected to go into standby mode - 'nap mode' in Chinese - once these tests are complete. Experts hope it will reactivate on January 10 and resume normal functioning, according to China Central Television, although that is not guaranteed.
一旦这些测试完成，“玉兔二号”将进入待机模式。据中央电视台报道，专家们希望它能在1月10日重新启动，恢复正常运作，尽管这还不能保证。
Jade Rabbit 2 weighs 308lbs (139kg) and has six individually powered wheels so it can continue to operate even if one wheel fails.
“玉兔二号”重308磅(139公斤)，有6个单独驱动的轮子，所以即使其中一个轮子坏了，它也能继续运转。
It can climb a 20-degree hill or an obstacle up to eight inches (20cm) tall and its maxmum speed is said to be 220 yards (200 metres) per hour.
它可以攀爬20度的山坡或高达8英寸(20厘米)高的障碍物，据说其最大时速是220码(200米)。
The pioneering rover is five feet (1.5 metres) long and about 3 feet (one metre) wide and tall, with two foldable solar panels and six wheels.
这款开创性的月球车长5英尺(1.5米)，宽约3英尺(1米)，高约3英尺(1米)，有两个可折叠太阳能电池板和6个轮子。
Yutu-2 and its accompanying lander will carry out mineral, biological and radiation tests ahead of a future base that China hopes to build on the moon.
“玉兔二号”及其随行着陆器将在建立月球基地之前进行矿物、生物和辐射测试。

good for china ..the more countrys get into space the harder it will be to keep hiding things from us..the USA has had a monopoly on space for to long and i cant help thinking they are holding back on what they tell us.but a little competition is good for humanity..
对来说是好事…随着进入太空的国家越来越多，就越难对我们隐瞒真相。美国对太空的垄断已经有很长一段时间了，我认为他们隐瞒了一些事情。现在竞争增加了，对人类是有好处的。

That's one hell of a clever rover if it's going to build a base.

So the lunar Rover is leaving tracks. How come the Apollo lander didn't blow dust up when it took off, or landed?

Everybody together now, say it is fake news because it is Chinese. Or stolen technology. Somethings we must admire in 45 years where China was and where they are now it is amazing.

There is no "dark side". Both sides of the moon have night and day, just as Earth does.
