中国在月球上升起国旗：北京在月球表面展示国旗，“嫦娥五号”探测器携带岩石样本返回地球

 

China has flown its flag on the moon in a symbolic display of its intentions to compete with the US in space, 51 years after America first planted its colours on the lunar surface.

中国在月球上升起国旗，象征着中国有意在太空与美国竞争。51年前，美国首次在月球表面插上国旗。

The flag was attached to Beijing's spacecraft Chang'e-5 which is making its way back to Earth with the first lunar samples in decades after taking off from the moon on Thursday.

这面旗帜挂在“嫦娥五号”探测器上，该探测器于周四从月球起飞，几十年来首次携带月球样本返回地球。

Beijing's space authority released the picture of the fabric flag, weighing 0.4 ounces, holding still on the windless lunar surface and evoking memories of the Stars and Stripes which were once the crowning symbol of US supremacy in the space race.

北京航天机构发布了这面布质国旗的照片，重0.4盎司，挂在无风的月球表面，静止不动，唤起人们对星条旗的记忆，而星条旗曾是美国在太空竞赛中至高无上的象征。

While flags were painted on Chinese spacecraft in two earlier missions, raising one on the moon is a feat which only the Apollo missions have achieved before - making the lunar surface the latest flashpoint in China's growing rivalry with America.

在之前的两次登月任务中，中国的探测器上都绘有国旗，而在月球上升起国旗则是只有阿波罗登月完成的壮举——这使得月球表面成为中美两国日益激烈的竞争的最新热点。

The Chang'e-5 spacecraft, named after the mythical Chinese moon goddess, left the moon at 3pm GMT on Thursday in what the space agency said was China's first successful take-off from an extraterrestrial body.

“嫦娥5号”于格林尼治标准时间周四下午3点离开月球，中国航天局称这是中国首次从地外天体成功起飞。“嫦娥5号”以中国神话中的月神命名。

It is bringing back lunar rocks and soil in the first mission to retrieve samples from the moon since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 project in 1976.

这是自1976年苏联“月球24号”项目以来首次从月球取回样本，将带回月球岩石和土壤。
