I'm so happy!

我太高兴了！

Tomorrow I'll be one of the first students to travel into space.

明天我将成为进入太空的首批学生之一。

The spaceship will leave the Earth at 9 a.m.

飞船将在上午 9时离开地球，

It'll take us to the Moon.

它会带我们到月球。

I can't wait!

我等不及了！

The Moon is around 380,000 kilometres from the Earth,

月球是离地球有 38 万公里，

so it'll take us about four days to get there.

所以它带着我们（飞行）4 天左右就可以到达。

There's no gravity in space,

在太空中是没有重力的，

so we'll all be able to float around in the spaceship.

所以我们都可以漂浮在飞船里。

We'll have to tie ourselves to our beds so that we won't float away in our sleep!

我们必须要自己绑在我们的床上，这样我们就不会在睡梦中漂走！

Without gravity, our bodies may get weak,

（因为）没有重力，我们的身体会变得虚弱，

so we'll have to do exercises every day.

所以每天我们必须都要做运动。

When we arrive,

当我们到达后，

I'm going to walk on the Moon,

我将在月球上行走，

I'll have to wear a spacesuit to help me breathe because there's no air on the Moon.

我得穿太空服以帮助我呼吸，因为有月球上没有空气。

I'm going to take as many photos as I can,

我将尽可能多的多照些照片，

that is, if my camera still works up there …

我是说，如果我的相机在那里仍能正常工作的话……
