"Earthrise": The first colour photo of Earth from the Moon

《地出》：第一张从月球拍摄的彩色地球照片

文字稿

"Oh my God, look at that picture over there! There is the Earth coming up. Wow, that's pretty!"

“天呐，快看那边的景象！地球升起来了。哇，这太美了！”

This was the first time humans saw our planet like this. It was shot by the crew of Apollo 8, who were the first to orbit the Moon.

这是人类第一次以这种视角审视我们的星球。这张照片由 “阿波罗 8 号” 任务的机组人员拍摄，他们是首批完成绕月飞行的航天员。

Col Frank Borman, Commander, Apollo 8
"We were aiming for a point 69 miles in front of a moving Moon. And I think we fired the spacecraft engine something like four minutes to slow down enough to get in lunar orbit. And then we looked down and there was the Moon. One of the things that had struck me was there was absolutely no colour. On about the fifth or sixth revolution, we looked up and there was the Earth in the background."

“我们当时的目标是进入运行中的月球前方 69 英里的位置。我想我们让航天器引擎点火了大约四分钟，才将速度降到足以进入绕月轨道的程度。然后我们向下望去，看到了月球。其中最让我感到震撼的是月球上完全没有色彩。在进行到绕月的第五圈或第六圈时，我们抬头一看，地球出现在了背景中。”

"Oh, I got it right. It's a beautiful shot."

“噢，我拍到了。这张照片拍得非常美。”

Col Frank Borman, Commander, Apollo 8
"There was a scramble for the camera, and Bill Anders took the picture. The contrast between the distressed Moon and the beautiful blue Earth was remarkable. The Earth was the only thing in the entire universe that had any colour. It gave us all the sense that we live on a fragile planet, that we have limited resources, and we better learn to take care of it. I don't think any of us had paid any attention to the fact that we would be going all the way to the Moon and be more interested in looking at the Earth."

“我们急忙找相机，然后比尔·安德斯拍下了这张照片。满目疮痍的月球和蔚蓝美丽的地球形成了鲜明的对比。地球是整个宇宙中唯一拥有色彩的事物。这让我们所有人都意识到我们生活在一个脆弱的星球上，我们拥有的资源是有限的，最好学会照顾好这个星球。我们谁都没料到，虽然我们大老远跑到了月球，结果却对观察地球更感兴趣。”

Earlier this month, Artemis II completed its mission flying around the Moon. For the first time in 50 years, humans have taken new photos of the Earth from the Moon.

本月早些时候，“阿尔忒弥斯 2 号” 完成了其绕月飞行任务。时隔 50 年，人类再次从月球轨道拍摄到了地球的新照片。
