中国空间站迎来首位女航天员！女航天员的英文怎么说？
据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，神舟十三号载人飞船入轨后顺利完成入轨状态设置，于北京时间2021年10月16日6时56分，采用自主快速交会对接模式成功对接于天和核心舱径向端口，与此前已对接的天舟二号、天舟三号货运飞船一起构成四舱（船）组合体，整个交会对接过程历时约6.5小时。按任务实施计划，3名航天员随后将从神舟十三号载人飞船进入天和核心舱。
Chinas Shenzhou XIII crewed spacecraft docked with the Tiangong space station on Saturday morning, with astronauts ready to enter the station to start a six-month journey.
The craft docked with the stations core module, named Tianhe, or Harmony of Heavens, at 6:56 am, about six and a half hours after a rendezvous process by their spacecraft, the China Manned Space Agency said in a brief statement, adding that the entire rendezvous and docking operations were controlled by computers.
10月16日上午神舟十三号的三名航天员成功进入天宫空间站，他们将在太空“出差”六个月，这将是中国迄今为止时间最长的一次载人飞行。
The Shenzhou XIII mission crew entered the Tiangong space station on October 16 morning, embarking on their six-month journey inside the station in the countrys longest spaceflight.
据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，北京时间2021年10月16日0时23分，搭载神舟十三号载人飞船的长征二号F遥十三运载火箭，在酒泉卫星发射中心按照预定时间精准点火发射，约582秒后，神舟十三号载人飞船与火箭成功分离，进入预定轨道，顺利将翟志刚、王亚平、叶光富3名航天员送入太空，飞行乘组状态良好，发射取得圆满成功。
China on Saturday launched the crewed spaceship Shenzhou XIII, sending three astronauts to its space station core module Tianhe for a six-month mission.
The spacecraft, atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket, was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest Chinas Gobi Desert at 12:23 am (Beijing Time), according to the China Manned Space Agency.
The mission is expected to become the longest crewed spaceflight by China, doubling the time spent in the Shenzhou XII mission. It will also see the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman.
二、中国空间站迎来首位女航天员！女航天员的英文怎么说？
the first spacewalk by a Chinese woman
中国女性首次太空行走
Female astronauts
女宇航员
Wang Yaping, 41, will be the first female "taikonaut" /ˈtaɪkəʊˌnɔːt/ — the term China uses for its astronauts — to board the station and she is also set to become Chinas first female spacewalker.
41岁的王亚平将成为首位登上空间站的女性“太空人”—这是中国用于描述自己航天员的术语—她也将成为中国首位太空行走的女性。
王亚平因“太空教师”被大众熟知,这次再度问鼎苍穹,她又多了很多“首个”标签:
中国首个进驻空间站的女航天员
中国首次驻留时间最长的女航天员
还可能是中国首个出舱的女航天员
此外，天舟三号根据这次任务需求，为女航天员送去了卫生用品、少量无毒化妆品，女航天员化妆以后可能心理状态会更好。
In addition, sanitary products and a small amount of non-toxic cosmetics for female astronauts are also prepared.
针对女航天员生理特点比如月经问题，实践表明，女航天员在太空月经基本正常，但是月经期间进行太空行走，容易得减压病，所以在月经期间，一般不进行太空行走。另外还给她配置了巧克力、甜点和补血用品。
Testing has shown that female astronauts have normal menstruation periods in space, but it is not suggested to walk in space during periods because the possibility for them to catch decompression sickness will increase.
Meanwhile, chocolates, desserts and blood supplements are provided for female astronauts.
三、关于“航天员”和“宇航员”
之前有讲过“航天员”和“宇航员”的区别，而中国“航天员”这个称呼，则是中国航天之父、火箭院首任院长钱学森首创。
在英文上我们一般采用和美国人一样的叫法“astronaut”。
有人提议，给中国“航天员”也起一个特别的叫法“taikonaut”。“taikonaut”的前缀“taiko”来自中文拼音“太空”，“naut”是船员的意思，合起来就是“太空船员”。
随着中国航天事业的发展，外媒也逐渐开始使用【taikonauts】来称呼中国航天员。
四、关于航天的英文词汇
发射 launch（n./v.）
载人飞船manned space ship/ spacecraft
火箭 rocket
升空 blast off/ lift off/ Ignition
倒计时 countdown
航天任务 space mission
空间站 space station
航天员 astronaut:
女航天员 female astronaut
男航天员 male astronaut
航天服 space suit
太空漫步 space walk
地心引力 gravity
失重 weightlessness
载人航天计划 manned space program
卫星发射中心Satellite Launch Center
They have several tasks to complete in the space station.
他们要在空间站完成几项任务。
