人類對于太空總有著無盡的向往。或許每個人都曾夢想過乘著宇宙飛船前往陌生的星球，探索未知的星系。浩瀚又神秘的宇宙中，是否會有人類的新家園呢？在4月24日“中國航天日”到來之際，我們一起來欣賞一首歌頌宇航員敢于擔(dān)當(dāng)、勇于奉獻(xiàn)的歌曲，在優(yōu)美的歌聲中仰望星空，在前進(jìn)的道路上腳踏實地。

In the year of 39 assembled here the Volunteers

In the days when lands were few

Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn

The sweetest sight ever seen

And the night followed day and the storytellers say

That the score brave souls inside

For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas

Never looked back， never feared， never cried

Dont you hear my call though youre many years away

Dont you hear me calling you

Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand

In the land that our grandchildren knew

In the year of 39 came a ship in from the blue

The Volunteers came home that day

And they bring good news of a world so newly born

Though their hearts so heavily weigh

For the earth is old and grey

Little darling， well away， but my love this cannot be

For so many years have gone， though Im older but a year

Your mothers eyes from your eyes cry to me

All your letters in the sand

Cannot heal me like your hand

For my life， still ahead， pity me
