英媒：中国把动植物带到“月宫”培育

China has brought plants and animals to the moon to cultivate for its future 'Lunar Palace' where people will live

已经把植物和动物带到未来定居的“月宫”培育

China's Chang'e-4 spacecraft has brought plants and animals to the moon after successfully landing on the far side of the natural satellite of Earth yesterday.

的“嫦娥四号”成功着陆在月球背面，并将动植物带到了月球。

As well as radiation monitoring and mineralogical experiments, Chang'e-4 probe contains potato seeds, silkworm eggs and arabidopsis seeds - plants related to cabbage and mustard that are commonly used by biologists as a model for how plants behave in different environments.

除了辐射监测和矿物学实验，“嫦娥四号”探测器还携带了土豆种子、蚕卵和拟南芥种子，生物学家常用它们作为样本以观测植物在不同环境下的生长。

The seeds and eggs are kept in a small cylindrical tin and are expected to grow inside the 0.8L container.

种子和蚕卵被保存在一个小的圆柱形锡罐中，预计它们将在这个0.8L的容器中生长。

The 'lunar mini biosphere' is part of Beiing's biological studies in space as it plans to build a lunar base and eventually put people on the moon by 2036.

这个“月球微型生物圈”是政府太空生物学研究的一部分，计划建立月球基地，并最终在2036年前将人类送上月球。

Researchers hope the potato and arabidopsis seeds will grow to blossom on the moon in 100 days, with the process captured on camera and transmitted to Earth, according to a previous report from Huanqiu.com citing inhua News Agency.

环球网此前援引新华社的一篇报道称，研究人员希望这种土豆和拟南芥的种子在未来100天内能够在月球上开花，并将这一过程拍下来后传回地球。

The silkworm eggs are also expected to hatch into larvae before growing into silkworm moths.

蚕卵在发育成蚕蛾之前会孵化成幼虫。

The 6.6lb (three kg) tin is made from a specially developed aluminium alloy. It is seven inches (18 cm) tall, with a diameter of six inches (16 cm) and a net volume of 1.4 pints (0.8 litres).

这个重达6.6磅(3公斤)的锡罐是由一种特别研制的铝合金制成的，高7英寸(18厘米)，直径6英寸(16厘米)，净容积1.4品脱(0.8升)。

As well as seeds, it contains water, a nutrient solution, air and equipment including a small camera and data transmission system.

除了种子，它还含有水、营养液、空气和设备，包括一个小型摄像机和数据传输系统。

Astronauts have previously cultivated plants on the International Space Station. Rice and arabidopsis were also grown on China's Tiangong-2 space lab.

宇航员以前在国际空间站上种植过植物。的“天宫二号”空间实验室也种植了水稻和拟南芥。

Both of these experiments were conducted in low Earth orbit and under very different conditions.

这两项实验都是在近地轨道和截然不同的条件下进行的。

Don't see the point of the silk worm larvae - it's completely redundant. The results of this kind of experiment are well-known and have been performed on the International Spacestation and even on Skylab back in the 'seventies. The eggs will hatch, the larvae will float around until they find a leaf, which they will consume. They will pupate and turn into functional moths that cannot fly properly because of the low gravity, and they will not be able to mate or lay any more eggs. End of experiment. It's not as if they need to eat moths at some point or make silk tapestries on the moon is it?

带蚕卵有什么意义，完全是多余的。这种实验的结果是众所周知的，早在70年代就已经在国际空间站甚至太空实验室中进行过了。卵会孵化，幼虫会四处飘浮，直到找到一片叶子，然后吃掉它。它们会蛹化，变成飞蛾，由于重力低，它们不能正常飞行，将无法交配或产卵。难不成实验结束后，他们要吃了飞蛾或者在月球上做丝绸挂毯吗?
