Celebrating International Day of Human Space Flight
慶祝國際載人空間飛行日
Every year on April 12th, the world celebrates the International Day of Human Space Flight.
每年四月十二日,全球慶祝「國際載人航天日」。
This global observance marks a historic milestone from 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to journey into space.
這項全球性的紀念活動標誌著一九六一年的歷史性里程碑,當年蘇聯太空人尤里·加加林成為首位進入太空的人類。
Aboard the Vostok 1, Gagarin completed one orbit around the Earth, proving that humanity could travel beyond our home planet.
加加林搭乘東方一號太空船,繞地球飛行一圈,證明了人類有能力飛出地球母星。
This achievement ignited the Space Race, eventually leading to the Moon landing and the international cooperation we see today on the International Space Station.
這項成就點燃了太空競賽,最終促成了登月計畫以及現今國際太空站上所見的國際合作。
In 2011, the United Nations officially recognized this date to promote the peaceful and sustainable use of outer space for all mankind.
二○( )一一年,聯合國正式認可該日期,以推廣全人類對外太空的和平與永續利用。
Today, the day is celebrated not only through formal UN events and conferences but also through informal gatherings known as 'Yuri’s Night.'
如今,這個日子不僅透過聯合國的正式活動與會議來慶祝,也透過被稱為「尤里之夜」的非正式聚會來紀念。
Whether through science or education, the legacy of April 12th reminds us that space exploration is a bridge connecting our history to a future defined by technological progress and global unity.
無論是透過科學或教育,四月十二日的遺產在提醒我們:太空探索是一座橋樑,將我們的歷史與由技術進步及全球團結所定義的未來連結在一起。
As we look back at those first 108 minutes, we continue to uphold space as a shared province for the benefit of everyone on Earth.
當我們回顧那首先的一百零八分鐘,我們繼續堅持將太空視為造福地球上所有人的共同財富。
