27、从句。译文参考“挑战者号”的呼唤自从 1969 年 7 月 20 日尼尔阿姆斯特朗第一次踏上月球以来，人们已经习惯了太空旅行的概念。数以百万计的人在黑白电视机上观看了第一次登月，他们的心提到了嗓子眼儿，意识到这是一项多么艰巨和危险的任务，也意识到许多可能会出错的事情。随着阿姆斯特朗那句至今仍然著名的话“这是个人的一小步，却是人类的一大步”，曾经被认为不可能的事情现在已经做到了。完成阿波罗 11 号任务的三名宇航员在一台比现在普通学生使用的功能要弱得多的电脑的引导下安全返回地球。随着登月计划的实施，太空旅行对公众来说变得平淡无奇，因为创新相继成功。到 20 世纪 80 年代初，美国航天计划中使用
28、的大火箭已经被航天飞机所取代。1986 年 1 月 28 日，“挑战者号”航天飞机起飞时，全世界似乎都对参与其中的宇航员取得的惊人成就失去了好奇。但这将绝不是一次普通的短途出行，数以百万计的人在电视上观看了航天飞机的起飞。这次很特别是因为37岁的克里斯塔麦考利夫，一位普通的教师和母亲，即将成为太空中的第一位平民。她计划在太空讲两次 15 分钟的课：第一次演示航天器的控制和解释重力的工作原理，第二次描述“挑战者号”计划的目标。克里斯塔希望能传达一种兴奋感，并重新激起人们对太空计划的兴趣。由于全国学生的目光注视着她，她本来可能会激励出全新一代的宇航员和太空科学家。可悲的是，由于航天飞机在佛罗里达起
29、飞一分多钟后就爆炸，她再也没有回到教室，机上 7 名宇航员也全部遇难。全世界陷入震惊，大多数人本来认为这次太空飞行会和乘普通飞机旅行一样安全。他们错得太离谱了！一瞬间，兴奋和乐观变成了恐惧和失败。这是有史以来最严重的太空事故，给人们的心灵蒙上了阴影。“我清楚地记得那一天，在学校的电视上看着飞机起飞，”一名学生说，“挑战者号上有个普通的老师，我们都很兴奋。我们没有多少耐心等待发射。我们看到宇航员们走进航天飞机时向世界挥手的笑脸。然后，在起飞一分多钟后，我们看到天空中出现了奇怪的红色和橙色的光，接着是一团白色的烟雾。挑战者号在半空中爆炸，我们都开始尖叫。”“挑战者号”灾难发生后，在调查灾难原因的同时，航天飞机的飞行暂停了近 3 年，航天飞机的一些部件也进行了重新设计。但载人飞行仍将继续，这一点毋庸置疑，1988 年 9 月 29 日，随着“发现号”的成功发射，航天飞机项目又重新开始。“挑战者号”失事至今已有 30 多年，虽然机组人员的生命不幸缩短，但他们与加加林、特列什科娃、阿姆斯特朗和杨利伟等同属太空探索的英雄。那七个人将永远被我们铭记，他们的名字已写在星星上，激励我们与他们一道去做人类最伟大的探索和发现之旅。“挑战者号”做出的牺牲呼唤着我们，提醒我们必须继续努力进行星空探索，不管它们看起来有多么遥远。Thank you for watching!
