That’s right. Yes. So do you think you have what it takes to survive in a challenging environment, Rob?Let’s listen to Major Tim Peake talking about his survival training.
没错。你觉得你具备在恶劣环境中生存的能力吗？我们听听Tim Peake少校讲述他的生存训练。
Survival training: for this year the European Space Agency sends us to Sardinia. When you land in the Soyuz capsule sometimes you might not land exactly where you expect to be.Foraging for food, for example, and your basic elements of shelter and protection, getting water… Go and live in a cave for seven days with an international crew.And it’s a wonderful environment to prepare you for a mission because you are very isolated.
生存训练：这一年欧洲太空总署将我们派至撒丁岛。当你所在的联盟号宇宙飞船着陆时，有时你并没有在预期的地点着陆。你就需要觅食、寻找最基本的庇护所、寻找水源。七天内和另一名外国宇航员在山洞居住。那里非常适合为太空任务做准备，因为那里非常与世隔绝。
So astronauts may get stranded on Earth – when the space capsule lands somewhere unexpected. And they have to find food. Forage means to search.
所以宇航员也有可能被困地球，当飞船没有在预期地点着陆时。他们需要寻找食物。Forage是指搜寻。
It’s a word we often use to describe how animals search for food.
这个词我们经常用来形容动物觅食。
Indeed. Well, let’s go back to that quiz question you asked me earlier, Alice.I’m keen to know how many people want to live this experience of being an astronaut.
的确如此。我们回到之前你问我的问题上吧。我想知道有多少人想要体验当宇航员的感觉。
OK. Well, I asked: How many people have applied to join NASA’s 2017 astronaut class? Was it… a) 800, b) 8,000 or c) 18,000 people?
好的，我的问题是：有多少人申请了美国宇航局2017年的宇航员课程？a) 800人b) 8,000人还是 c) 18,000 人?
And I said quite a lot: b) 8,000 people.
我选的是b) 8,000人。
And you were wrong, I’m afraid!According to Nasa’s website, more than 18,300 people applied to join their 2017 astronaut class. This is almost three times the number of applications received in 2012 for the most recent astronaut class.
你答错了。根据NASA的官网显示，超过18300人申请加入他们2017年的宇航员培训课程。这是2012年最近一次课程申请人数的三倍。
Wow! So there’s no chance of me ever succeeding.
所以我基本上没有成功的可能了。
Oh, well, you mustn’t give up, Rob.Anyway, we are running out of time so here are the words we heard today:
你不要放弃啊，罗伯。节目时间快结束了，我们再听一遍今天的单词：
in orbit
在轨道上
claustrophobia
幽闭恐惧症
get on someone’s nerves
惹怒某人
