《China's historic first》
6月3日,嫦娥六号着陆器在月表完成取样任务后,一面由玄武岩纤维制成的“石头版”五星红旗在月球背面成功展开。
阳光照射下,国旗熠熠生辉,闪耀着鲜艳的中国红!中国探测器在月球上又一次打上“中国标识”。
Wherever China’s national flag is raised, there is the pride of the Chinese people. Between June 3 and 4, the Chang’e 6 lunar probe (月球探测器) showed our national flag on the moon’s far side (月球背面). This is the first flag of any country to fly there!
哪里有中国国旗,哪里就有中国人民的骄傲。6月3号至4号,嫦娥六号着陆器携带的五星红旗在月球背面成功展开,这是中国首次在月球背面独立动态展示国旗。
The flag uses very cool technology. It is made of Xuanwu rock. The rock is common on Earth, especially (尤其) in places with volcanoes. People often make the rock into floors and roads.
这面旗帜可不一般,是用了很酷的技术,竟是用玄武岩制成的!玄武岩是地球上很常见的岩石,尤其在火山周围更为常见。日常生活中,人们常使用玄武岩铺路或制作地板。
