"Good morning, Discovery Center -- good afternoon. We're happy to be here with you. This is Al Drew, Clay Anderson, Dave Williams and I'm Barb Morgan. And we are ready for your first question. Welcome aboard the Internation Space Station."

“早上好，探索中心----(应该是)下午好。很高兴能在这里和你们交谈。这是Al Drew, Clay Anderson, Dave Williams，我是Barb Morgan。现在我们准备回答你们的第一个问题。欢迎来到国际空间站。”

That was teacher-turned-astronaut Barbara Morgan, speaking from more than 320 kilometers above Earth.

这是教师出身的宇航员Barbara Morgan从距离地球上空320多公里处发回的语音。

"Hello (from Idaho)!" And those were the students she was greeting in the northwestern state of Idaho. They gathered at the Discovery Center in Boise on Tuesday to ask the astronauts questions by video link.

“来自爱达荷的问候！”她打招呼的这些人是来自西北爱达荷州的学生。他们于周二聚集在Boise的探索中心通过视频连接向宇航员提问。

The astronauts already knew what the questions would be. One student asked what stars look like from space. Basically the answer was that the space shuttle and the space station are kept brightly lit, so it is difficult to see a lot of stars.

宇航员早已经知道即将会问些什么问题。其中一个学生问：从太空看星星是什么样子。答案是航天飞机和空间站一直都非常亮，因此想要看到很多星星有点困难。
