幾天前，他還只是個普普通通的老百姓，沒有多少人知道他的名字沒有多少人熟知他的樣子。但是自從上個星期二在他做了21小時的太空旅行歸來後，全世界的人民都看到了他歸途後的喜悅。
The 38-year-old astronaut (宇航員) was sent into space at 9 a.m. last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou V spaceship, which traveled round the earth 14 times. He landed safely at 6:23 a.m. the next day, making China the third country to successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union (蘇聯) and US.
這位38歲的宇航員是在上個星期三早上9點的時候由中國神州五號載人飛船運往太空的。在環繞地球14周後於翌日早晨時間6點23分平安著陸。這壹次偉大的旅行使得中國成為繼前蘇聯和美國後第三個成功向太空成功發送載人飛船的國家。
Yang was pleased with his job. “I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful.” he said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.
Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot (飛行員) in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1,350 hours in the air.
楊對他的工作很滿意。在飛往北京的壹架特殊航班著陸後他說到：“我在電視上看過多次登陸實錄，但是我覺得我們的這次是最成功的壹次。”他出生於遼寧省壹戶普通的家庭裏，1987年的時候成為國家空軍中的壹名飛行員，空中作業時間1350個小時。
He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later. While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home. He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap. The whole programme went according to (按照) plan, but space exploration is not as it seems.
11年後他參加了中國空間計劃。在飛往太空的時候，楊記錄下了他看見的每壹樣東西，也為在家中從電視上觀看他旅行的人們展示了中國和美國的國旗還有在他小睡了3個小時後吃的他那特殊的雞肉塊和米飯。所有的是都有條不紊的進行著，但是太空探險可不像想象中的那樣。
Anyone who saw the destruction (breaking) of the US space shuttle (航天飛機) Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk (danger). He experienced (經歷) very high temperature, while the gravitational forces (重力) on takeoff and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.
He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.
誰要是知道在今年2月的時候美國向太空發射的哥倫比亞航天飛機的慘劇就能體會到楊做這次飛行的危險性。他經歷過高溫，飛機在起飛和著陸時重力的影響足以使他流淚。他是經過了5年的訓練才得已成為壹名太空人的。
“I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dining-room and have never been able to take my son to school,” he said. “I’ve never met his teachers.”
But all the hard work was well worth it ----Yang has become China’s first spaceman.
“我壹直都待在太空站裏，從來沒有機會可以送我的兒子去上學，也從來沒見過他的老師。”他說到。但是這些付出都得到了很好的回報——他成為了中國第壹個太空人.
