Itis possible that later this year China will launch an unmannedspacecraft to orbit the moon, a step towards an eventual moon landing by aChinese astronaut.

今年晚些时候，中国有可能发射一个无人环月航天器，向最终实现中国太空人的登月目标前进了一步。

The Chang'e-2, named after a Chinese goddess, forms part of a space programme which China hopes will lead to its first unmanned landing on the Moon in 2013.

嫦娥2号成为太空项目的一部分，中国希望这些项目能够在2013年成功实现首次无人探测器登月。

MAYBE the US will be able to "rent" a seat on CHINA 'a moon landing, since we can't "af ford" to do it ourselves anymore!

当我们“负担不起”自主登月的情况下，也许我们应该考虑找中国“租”个位子去登月。

The US is not so clear about its intentions right now, but China landing on the Moon later this year and a resurgence of international interest in the Moon could change that.

China also hopes to make its first moon landing within two years and to put an astronaut on the moon as early as 2025.
