Asteroids, Hubble rival and Moon base: China sets out space agenda
小行星、哈勃望远镜的竞争对手和月球基地:中国制定郑亮了太空议程
Mars and beyond
火星和更远的地方
China made its first leap into interplanetary space with the Tianwen-1 orbiter, which dropped a lander containing the Zhurong rover on Mars in May.
今年5月,中国发射的“天问一号”轨道飞行器在火星上扔下了一个载有“祝融”号探测器的着陆器,这是中国首次进入行星际空间。
According to the white paper, China will complete research for sending a craft to Mars to sample rocks and return them to Earth.
根据白皮书,中国将完成向火星发送航天器以采集岩石样本并将其返回地球的研究。
This mission could launch in 2028. (NASA’s Perseverance rover collected the first Mars rocks in 2021. The agency hopes to bring them back to Earth as part of a joint mission with the European Space Agency (ESA), launching in 2026.)
这项任务可能在2028年喊御宽发射。(美国宇航局的毅力号火星车在2021年收集了第一批火星岩石。该机构希望将它们带回地球,作为与欧洲航天局(ESA)联合任务的一部分,于2026年发射。)
The white paper also lays out China’s plans to eventually probe further into the solar system. The next five years will see the completion of key research for a mission to explore Jupiter and its ocean-filled moon system.
白皮书还列出了中国最终进一步 探索 太阳系的计划。接下来的五年将见证 探索 木星及其充满海洋的卫星系统的关键研究的完成。
Press reports suggest that this mission could launch as early as 2029 — meaning that it would join ESA’s JUICE and NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, scheduled to fly in 2023 and 2024.
媒体报道称,这项任务最早可能在2029年发射——这意味着它将加入欧空局的JUICE和美国宇航局的Europa Clipper任务,计划在2023年和2024年飞行。
“Deep space is certainly another area China sees there are a lot of opportunities for scientific breakthroughs,” says Zhang.
“深空无疑是中国认为有很多科学突破机会的另一个领域,”张说。
The country has also set its sights on exploring the boundary of the Solar System.
该国还着眼于 探索 太阳系的边界。
China’s funding agencies have yet to confirm this, or the Jupiter mission, but “a mention in the plan is certainly helpful”, says Zhan Hu, an astronomer at the National Astronomical Observatories in Beijing.
中国的资助机构尚未确认这一点或木星任务,但北京国家天文台的天文学家詹虎说,“在计划中提及这一点肯定是有帮助的”。

A new Hubble: the Xuntian space telescope
新哈勃: “巡天”太空望远镜
China also plans to launch a space telescope called Xuntian, whose name means ‘survey the heavens’.
中国还计划发射一个名为“巡天”的太空望远镜,其名字的意思是“巡天”。
This will image in the same wavelengths — ultraviolet, visible and infrared — as those used by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
这将在与美国宇航局哈勃太空望远镜相同的波长下成像——紫外线、可见光和红外线。
Slightly smaller than Hubble, Xuntian will not quite match its predecessor’s resolution; but, at any one time, Xuntian will capture a patch of sky 300 times larger.
巡天比哈勃稍小一些,它的分辨率将无法与哈勃媲美;但在任何时候,巡天望远镜都能捕捉到比它大300倍的天区(其视角将是哈勃的300多倍)。
That will allow it to probe a much greater volume of the Universe than Hubble, says Zhan, who works on Xuntian.
“巡天”项目工作人员詹说,这将使它能够探测到比哈勃探测到的大得多的宇宙天体。
Most of Xuntian’s first 10 years will be devoted to understanding the history and evolution of the Universe through a wide survey of the sky.
“巡天”望远镜工作前十年的大部分时间将致力于通过对天空的广泛观察来了解宇宙的 历史 和演化。
The telescope will periodically dock with China’s space station, Tiangong, for refuelling and maintenance.
该望远镜将定期与中国的天宫空间站对接,以加油并进行维护。
Zhan says that the team plans to deliver the telescope by the end of 2023, ready for launch in 2024. “The schedule is very tight,” he says.
詹说,该团队计划在2023年底交付望远镜,为2024年发射做准备。“时间安排很紧,”他说。

Detecting gravitational waves in space
探测太空中的引力波
China wants to further develop plans to launch a space-based gravitational-wave detector, called Taiji, in the early 2030s.
中国希望进一步发展计划,在21世纪30年代初发射一个名为“太极”的天基引力波探测器。
If launched then, it would be the first of its kind. Such a mission would observe lower-frequency waves than those seen by ground-based detectors such as Advanced LIGO, allowing it to detect higher-mass black holes, including those in the early Universe.
如果届时发射成功,它将是首个天基引力波探测器。与高新激光干涉仪引力波天文台等地面探测器相比,天基探测器将观测到频率更低的波,使其能够探测质量更大的黑洞,包括早期宇宙中的黑洞等。
But the experiment would be complex: spotting ripples in space-time will mean detecting shifts of just a few trillionths of a metre in the distances between three spacecraft, positioned 3 million kilometres apart from each other in the shape of a triangle.
但是实验将会很复杂:发现时空中的波纹将意味着检测三个航天器之间距离的几万亿分之一米的变化,这三个航天器以三角形的形式彼此相距300万公里。

电影观后感英语作文五篇
电影观后感英语作文
The crown jewel of 1995's summer blockbusters appears to have arrived early。 It's hard to imagine any motion picture released between now and August matching Mel Gibson's Braveheart for spectacle。 With its clashing armies, heartstopping action, and grand sense of romance, this is the sort of film it's a pleasure to see and review。
Let me state my preferences up front。 I'm a big fan of the epic adventure, a category in which Braveheart, like cream, rises to the top。 There's a lot in this film that'基庆凳s praiseworthy -- not the least of which is its ambition。 Those viewing this picture may be easily reminded of Gettysburg, The Last of the Mohicans, Glory, and such classics as Lawrence of Arabia, El Cid, and Spartacus。 The grandeur is certainly present; nevertheless, Gibson gives us not only memorable battles, but characters of real substance。
Borrowing from masters like Sam Peckinpah and David Lean, the actor/director has crafted an exceptional cinematic tapestry in only his sophomore effort。 Most of the time, three hour movies have a few flat spots, but Braveheart is constantly on the move -- riveting from start to finish。 When the end credits began to roll, I was hard pressed to accept that nearly 170 minutes had elapsed。
差亩 The title character is William Wallace (Gibson), a hero of Scottish history whose legend has surely outstripped fact (in its own unique way, the film acknowledges this)。 Wallace fought for Scotland's freedom in the late 13th century, wielding his broadsword and influence to defeat the forces of King Edward I (Patrick McGoohan),搏旅 the British monarch who had declared himself king of Scotland upon the former ruler's demise。
Braveheart builds slowly to its first gritty climax。 Much of the early film concentrates on Wallace's love for Murron (Catherine McCormack)。Their courtship is unhurried, yet this is all preparation。 The real meat of the story, which includes political mechanations, betrayal, and dramatic battles, is yet to e。 Patrick Henry once said, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" That might well be Wallace's motto。 "It's all for nothing if you don't have freedom!" The nobles of Scotland fight for land and riches, but Wallace stands for the individual, and earns respect with words and deeds。
Bulked up and wearing a long-haired wig, Gibson brings his usual wealth of charisma to the title role。 Patrick McGoohan, best known from TV's Secret Agent Man and The Prisoner, is almost unrecognizable beneath a snowy beard。 His Edward the Longshanks exudes an aura of cold menace。 He's a worthy foe for Wallace because his intelligence matches his ruthlessness。 Sophie Marceau, the French actress who plays Princess Isabelle, and Catherine McCormack are both immensely appealing。
《忠犬八公的故事》
There was a Akita dog named Hachiko, near the train station to find it in the 'master'
A chance encounter, destined to the fate of the beginning of a yoke, because the cargo workers do not pay attention, so that the public lost eight on the road, he met with it so, with the play, frolic together, eight public and not will be picking his school to teach the dog how it looks like picking, but it still will not, leaving the original mistress of the public against the eight, and daughter saw him picking the scene eight public education, in the call to another Adoption of the phone, she said "it has been adopted," and that moment I felt as if I were relieved, the hostess finally agreed。

《冒牌天神2》观后感:
This should've gone straight to video。 Evan Almighty was not able to manage the expectations of those who came to see it anticipating as riotous a ride as its predecessor Bruce Almighty。 It retained the premise of the original as a spin-off but it doesn't work not because Steve Carell is less talented than Jim Carrey but because he had lousy material to work with。 Even Morgan Freeman (who reprises his role as God) lost the zing and impressive qualities he had in the first installment。
Evan Almighty apparently targets a family audience with its decidedly more religious overtones (check out what ARK really means), so it shouldn't have attempted to fool the audience by maintaining the Almighty franchise because it doesn't fit; its brand of humor and story simply failed to keep up。
It would've probably done better if it were marketed differently instead of lazily riding on the success of Bruce Almighty when it painfully couldn't deliver the same punches。

卢武铉死亡英文报道
Roh Moo-hyun (born September 1, 1946 in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang) has been the President of South Korea since February 25, 2003. Before entering politics, Roh was a noted human rights lawyer.
His political career was marked by several dramatic events, including attempts to overcome regionalism in South Korean politics, culminating in his election to the presidency. The emergence of a liberal reformist and anti-American political movement in the country was another factor in his victory.
Roh's presidency has been marked by controversies, with his opponents staging a failed impeachment attempt. Although he was reinstated with a stronger mandate than he had when he entered office, continued controversies and accusations of incompetence resulted in a drop in popularity.
Roh's policy highlights include an unpopular decision to send Korean troops to Iraq, a failed attempt to relocate the capital from Seoul to the Chungcheong region, and a bid for a grand coalition with the conservative Grand National Party that was widely criticized.
Personal background
With First Lady Kwon Yang-sook , Roh has a daughter (Roh Jeong-yeon, , born 1975), an embassy worker; and a son (Roh Geon-ho, , born 1973), a former LG Electronics employee and a current MBA student at Stanford University. Roh is a Roman Catholic, like his predecessor, Kim Dae-Jung.
Roh was born in 1946 to a poor farming family in Gimhae, near Busan, in southeastern South Korea. In 1960, he led a protest at his school against mandatory essays extolling his country's first autocrat. A high school graduate who never went to college, he worked at odd jobs after serving in the Korean army.
He studied on his own to pass the bar exam in 1975. In 1977, he became regional judge in Daejeon, and began privately practising tax law in 1978. In 1981, he defended students who had been tortured for possession of contraband literature. In early 2003, he was quoted as saying, "When I saw their horrified eyes and their missing toenails, my comfortable life as a lawyer came to an end." He opposed the autocracy in place at the time in South Korea, and participated in the pro-democracy June Struggle in 1987 against the authoritarian president Chun Doo-hwan.
Early political career
In 1988, Roh entered politics and grilled the government over corruption allegations and the 1980 Gwangju Massacre. In the same year, he was elected to the National Assembly of South Korea, representing the Unification Democratic Party - Tongilminjudang). Shortly thereafter, he gained popularity in the first nationally broadcast parliament hearing.
Roh's defeat in the April 2000 election in Busan was a "blessing in disguise." The news of his defeat prompted his supporters nationwide to form Nosamo, the first political fan club in Korea. His supporters were inspired by the courage and commitment shown in his struggle against regionalism.
Roh was appointed as the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in August 2000. He was elected the presidential candidate of the ruling Millennium Democratic Party in a land slide victory, eventually winning the presidency on December 19, 2002, defeating Lee Hoi-chang of the Grand National Party by a narrow margin. His victory was a dramatic surprise, made possible by a last-minute betrayal by a political ally that backfired.
Presidency
The first year
Roh entered office with an ambitious agenda—establishing Korea as the hub of northeast Asia, continuing the engagement policy or Sunshine Policy towards North Korea started by his predecessor Kim Dae-Jung, redefining the security relationship with the United States, reform of contentious politics through compromise, decentralization of government, continuing pressure on chaebol and enhancing corporate transparency, reforming education and tax systems, improvement of labor-management relations. This ambitious program has stalled due to continuing controversy that has plagued Roh’s government, leading to intense criticism both from his supporters, who feel he has not held to his principles, and from those who have opposed his policies from the outset. His administration has been touched by allegations of corruption serious enough for him to propose a referendum on his performance. That proposal having constitutional problems, Roh then offered to step down from office if an investigation showed that his campaign team had illicitly collected as much as one-tenth of the million found to have been illegally raised by the campaign for the opposition Grand National Party. The investigation suggested a figure close to one-eighth, but Roh refused to back down, disputing that figure as a matter of subjective calculation by a hostile media.
Uri Party and impeachment
Roh and his supporters left the Millennium Democratic Party in 2003 and a new party, the Uri Party , lit. ("Our Open Party") was formed. They left a lot of the dept at the Millennium Democratic Party and ran out. So thay have been called the betrayers.
Roh's popularity was declining at that period: his conciliatory North Korea policy is controversial with his opponents, and his decision to send troops to Iraq was controversial with his supporters. The country has become polarized over the United States military presence in South Korea, with those wanting more autonomy from the US tending to be younger (who are also antagonized by incidents involving US troops stationed in Korea), while those more supportive of the US military presence tending to be older, and viewing North Koreans as enemies. Controversy within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade led to the replacement of the minister, and a contentious free trade treaty with Chile brought farmers to the streets.
On March 12, 2004, the South Korean National Assembly voted to impeach Roh Moo-hyun for illegal electioneering and incompetence charges. The vote was 193-2, with Roh's supporters abstaining from the vote. Pro-Roh Uri Party members had blocked the speaker's podium for 3 days to prevent a vote before being hauled out by opposition lawmakers and security guards. Roh's executive power was suspended until final decision is made by the Constitutional Court, and Prime Minister Goh Kun ran the country as the Acting President.
The National Assembly's attempt to impeach Roh met with strong opposition. Although Roh's popularity hovered around the 30% mark due to social unrest, disclosure of illegal fund-raising in the 2002 Presidential election, creation of a new party, and often-made improper remarks, many Koreans thought the impeachment was too harsh and heavy-handed, and Roh's popularity went up dramatically to 50% soon after the assembly's vote to impeach Roh. The results of the April 2004 parliamentary election showed public support for him, with the Uri Party winning a majority of seats.
On May 14, 2004, the Constitutional Court overturned the impeachment decision, restoring Roh as President, and Roh enjoyed increased support for some while after he was restored to power.
After the reinstatement
However, after he came back to the political arena, many incidents happened that severely hurt the President. After Roh Uri Party's campaign promise to make all construction companies open the prime cost of constructing apartment buildings to the public—a very popular campaign promise—was broken, the people's trust in Roh and his party slipped. There was also public distress about the President's willingness to nominate Kim Hyuk-kyu, who defected to the opposition Grand National Party just three months before the general election as new prime minister. Lee Hae Chan was instead nominated and confirmed as the new Prime Minister. Also the cabinet shake-up was unpopular because the people saw no reason to make the shake-up. There was talk that the shake-up was made for the future likely Uri Party presidential nominee in 2007 and this fact angered people.
Also, worsening economic conditions made people angry at Roh, especially when he and his party repeatedly stated that economy was in good shape while people were having hard time finding work. The national pension fund crisis also hurt living standards and such events made Roh again very unpopular; his ratings at the polls stood in the lower 30%'s.
His plan to deploy ground forces in Iraq also made him very unpopular, particularly among left-wing forces who were the main supporters of Roh. Their call to end the deployment plan continued throughout Roh's term and became even louder after a South Korean named Kim Sun-il was kidnapped in Iraq by a terrorist group and was beheaded. Roh's government was not only criticized for not halting the deployment plan for Kim's sake, but also further condemned by the public when it was disclosed that an Associated Press reporter asked whether there were kidnapped Korean personnel in Iraq long before Al Jazeera showed video of Kim kidnapped. The government stated that they first learned of the incident when Al Jazeera showed the tape, but it is alleged that they knew it much earlier but sealed the incident to the public to make the public support the deployment plan. Roh's popularity dropped to the 20% level after this incident.
He was also criticized for pushing ahead the capital relocation plan from Seoul to the Chungcheong region, without giving attention to much public distress and criticism of the plan. He has repeatedly said that the criticism on the plan is being formed by major newspapers as Dong-a Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo, which are major conservative news media of the nation, and he has attacked those newspapers many times in public. On October 21, 2004, the Constitutional Court, the same institution that saved Roh from the impeachment, ruled that the special law for the relocation of the capital is unconstitutional, thus inflicting a huge blow to Roh's policy. Roh's plan was mended, with the word "capital" replaced with "administrative central", and legislated afterwards, this time gaining an approval from the Constitutional Court on November 24, 2005.
The grand coalition controversy
The ruling Uri Party had lost in every by-election under Roh's leadership, and there was no exception in the by-elections held on April 30, 2005, when the party was defeated in every of the 23 electoral districts. Facing the outcome of his unpopularity, Roh took a rather strange measure to save his presidency when he proposed a grand coalition with the opposition Grand National Party. Roh's rationale was that since it was impossible to continue his presidency with an approval rate of around 20 percent, a grand coalition comprising the Uri Party and the Grand National Party was desirable, and that the difference between both parties in terms of political agendas was actually minute. Roh promised he would yield much of his power and might even resign from office if a grand coalition was successfully launched.
Roh's proposal for the grand coalition stirred yet another national controversy. Many called his plan reckless and completely ignorant of the sentiments of people still ailing from repeated political controversies and economic hardships. Many of the Uri Party's supporters who confess as liberals were enraged at Roh holding that his party was not really different from the conservative opposition. The Grand National Party, enjoying relatively strong approval rate but still bent on revenge for the party's defeat in major elections, repeatedly declined to initiate a negotiation for the coalition. While the Uri Party grudgingly supported the President's proposal, a lawmaker defected from the party in protest of Roh's plan, and the loss of popularity was felt when the party suffered another complete defeat in the by-election on October 26, 2005, this time including one of the party's stronghold electoral districts. Roh's plan was scrapped, having failed to garner support from either political faction. However, Roh has announced that another proposal is on the way, scheduled to be issued in early 2006, to resolve "national problems" which includes plans for "his course."
Foreign relations
United States
Roh was perceived as an anti-American before the presidential race, which was not a handicap during the campaign. Public antipathy with the United States was prevalent in 2002, which was evoked by an insufficient response by the U.S. Army in a maneuver accident that cost the lives of two Korean schoolgirls, and President Bush's hard-line policy towards North Korea. Roh once remarked "is going anti-American a big deal?" before he won the presidency, which worked in Roh's favor and led many to believe he will lead an independent line in terms of relation with the U.S.
Roh's remark, however, has become a liability after he started out as the President. Conservatives in Korea and the U.S. regarded Roh with suspicion, and opposition Grand National Party routinely criticized Roh as a left-winger. Roh clumsily attempted to make up for this negative image, when he made his first visit to the U.S. and said he would have been in a (communist) concentration camp had there not been support from the United States. Roh's comment was ill-received by many Koreans, who felt the comment was too self-deprecating and insulting to national pride. Roh's revelation was all the more alarming because his obedient attitude seemed to be in discord with a comment he had made during the presidential campaign stating that he would not visit the United States only to do some photo-ops.
Many Koreans felt betrayed when Roh decided to deploy troops to Iraq in support of the U.S.-led military campaign. Although Roh excused the deployment as only a peacekeeping mission and claimed that such commitment was required to bring favor from the U.S. in resolving the North Korean nuclear crisis, opponents criticized Roh of being a puppet driven by the United States.
The relationship with the U.S. has been made more complicated during the ongoing negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear program. South Korea's moderate line didn't stand well with that of United States, and the U.S. repeatedly opposed South Korea's economic aid to the North, saying economic aid only strengthens North Korea's stubborness and hurts the combined effort for negotiation.
In March 2006, South Korea announced it will initiate a talk with the U.S. for a free trade agreement. Many, including Roh's former economic advisor, expressed concern that the government is acting too hastily, and the effect of the agreement will be detrimental to the nation's economy. Despite such opposition, Roh repeatedly supported the idea, saying that he's got a good feeling about it.
