1Chen Dong has set a new record for the most cumulative(累積的)days living and working in space by a Chinese astronaut.The China Manned Space Agency said that the two-time space traveler,who was onboard China's orbiting Tiangong space station,has become the first Chinese to stay in orbit for more than 200 days.

2Together with two other astronauts,Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe,Chen was sent to the space station core module Tianhe aboard the Shenzhou ⅩⅣspaceship on June 5 last year for a six-month stay.That was the second time Chen had been sent into space,following his first 33-day Shenzhou Ⅺmission in Tiangong 2 in 2016 with astronaut Jing Haipeng.

3“Chen is a perfectionist.He never leaves problems unsolved,” said Jing.After his first space trip,Chen was presented with a third-class medal and the honorary title “heroic astronaut”.

4Chen was born in 1978 in Henan Province.He was recruited into China's astronaut team in May 2010.Appointed as the mission commander,Chen led the Shenzhou ⅩⅣcrew to complete multiple tasks including three spacewalks,a series of scientific experiments,a live science lecture,and several in-orbit operations.They were called “the busiest space crew”by Chinese netizens.

5During the mission,the trio in orbit oversaw the arrival of the station's two lab modules,Wentian and Mengtian,and saw off Tianzhou 4 cargo craft.They also witnessed the historical moment when the Chinese space station was fully completed.

6“Building China's space station is the dream of all Chinese people.We are so lucky and happy to see that the construction of the space home will be completed in our hands,”Chen said while the trio met the media ahead of the mission.“We will make good use of such a platform to carry out more complicated sci-tech experiments,so as to generate more achievements to serve the world and benefit all mankind.”

?語言學習

Ⅰ.語料薈萃

Ⅱ.語句分析

1.The China Manned Space Agency said that the two-time space traveler,who was onboard China's orbiting Tiangong space station,has become the first Chinese to stay in orbit for more than 200 days.中國載人航天局表示，這位登上中國沿軌道運動的天宮空間站兩次的太空旅行者已經(jīng)成為第一個在軌道上停留超過200天的中國人。

【點石成金】本句是一個主從復合句。The China Manned Space Agency said 是主句，that 引導的是賓語從句，who 引導的是非限制性定語從句，to stay in orbit for more than 200 days是動詞不定式短語作定語。

2.We will make good use of such a platform to carry out more complicated sci-tech experiments,so as to generate more achievements to serve the world and benefit all mankind.我們將充分利用這樣一個平臺，開展更復雜的科技實驗，從而創(chuàng)造出更多為世界服務、造福全人類的成果。

【點石成金】本句是一個簡單句。so as to generate more achievements 和to serve the world and benefit all mankind 作目的狀語。
