39.印度为何决心登上月球？

第39期 印度为何决心登上月球？

文本难度：★★☆☆☆

9月7日,印度发射的“月船”2号未能在月球上着陆，但这是印度第二次尝试登月，如果成功的话，它将被载入史册，成为继美国、俄罗斯和中国之后的第四个国家，然而印度登月滋生了许多科学和政治问题，我们来依次回顾一下。

①What Chandrian? 何为月球2号？

Chandrian's name, derived from "Chand" which means the moon in Hindi, means heading to the moon, is the second vehicle launched by India to the moon,新闻当中说到“月球2号”这个名字源自印度语的月球，意味着前往月球，它是印度向月球发射的第二个航天器

②Perhaps the most important goals that India aspires for its second attempt to reach the moon is to set a world record as the fourth country to put its flag on its surface. 印度第二次尝试登月所追求的最重要目标是创造世界纪录，成为第四个在月球表面悬挂国旗的国家

③The abundance of human resources, including scientists, technicians and specialists, as well as the political will, popular incubator and budget, are enough to advance the country towards such a large goal, placing it in the ranks of developed nations that will once cherish its foothold in space, a metaphor for power and immunity on the ground. 科学家、技术人员和专家的丰富人力资源，加上政治愿望、人民支持和预算拨款，这都是推动国家实现这样一个宏伟目标的因素，这将使印度跻身曾以有一天踏入太空而自豪的发达国家行列，这代表了地球上的力量和威力。

④The scientific goal India would have achieved if it had landed on the moon was to set the record as the first country to reach the south pole of the moon, which none of the other three countries have done. 如果印度登月成功，印度差一点就要实现的科学目标会让印度创造记录，成为第一个到达月球南极（南纬70度）的国家，而其他三国都没有做到。

重点单词:

3.incubator孵化器，是新闻和日常生活中都能听到的的热门词汇， Incubator 这个概念来自于欧美。原本是人工孵化禽蛋的专门设备，后来引入经济领域。它其实是一种组织，“给初创型同时面临瓶颈的企业提供资金、管理、资源、策划等支持，从而指导这些企业成功地打入市场，或帮助企业做转型。比如我们都知道谷歌孵化器，微软孵化器等
