Common roadmap
相同的道路
However, China is not aiming to overshadow other countries. Despite being banned by US law from working with NASA on any manned outer space activities, China has been an active member of the International Space Exploration Coordination Group since 2006. The group is an international forum set up by 14 space agencies based on mutual interests, shared technologies and aims to plan a common, *cohesive roadmap into the future for all of mankind’s ventures into outer space.
但中國無意去壓制其他國家。盡管美國法律禁止中國和美國國家航空航天局在載人航天活動方面有任何合作，但中國自2006年起，便在國際太空探索協(xié)調(diào)組中十分活躍。此協(xié)作組是一個由14家航天機構(gòu)基于共同利益、共享科技而成立的國際論壇，旨在為未來全人類的外太空探險規(guī)劃一個同文共軌、緊密結(jié)合的道路。
Through cooperation, China “gives a lot of countries a nice opportunity to develop new partnerships to stay active in space exploration”, Alanna Krolikowski, an expert in Chinese technology policy and visiting professor at the University of Gottingen in Germany, told Popular Science magazine.
德國哥廷根大學(xué)訪問教授、中國科技政策專家阿蘭娜•羅利科夫斯基在接受《大眾科學(xué)》雜志采訪時表示，通過合作，中國“給予許多國家良好的機會來發(fā)展新伙伴關(guān)系，并在太空探索領(lǐng)域保持活躍”。
Solving global problems
解決全球問題
“The big dream of getting all nations working together in space is that the cooperation will extend back down to Earth. Trust developed through space co-exploration can also be turned to solving global problems like the environment, *pandemics, natural disasters and something as scary as a runaway asteroid with us in its crosshairs,” commented Chris Davis of China Daily.
《中國日報》的克里斯•戴維斯評論稱，“各國在太空攜手合作的偉大夢想在于這一合作將會延伸至地球。通過共同探索太空所建立起來的信任將會有助于解決如環(huán)境、流行病、自然災(zāi)害以及有時甚至像逃逸的小行星那般可怕的全球問題。”
