A European robot probe has made the first, historic landing on a comet, but its status is uncertain after harpoons failed to anchor it to the surface. 欧洲一架机器人探测器在人来历史上首次成功在彗星上着陆，但是由于着陆器上的鱼叉头系统出现故障，所以其目前的状态并未确定。 The "first" landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was confirmed at about 1605 GMT. “菲莱”着陆的彗星为67P/丘留莫夫-格拉西缅科彗星，着陆的时间为格林威治时间16点05分。 There were cheers and hugs at the European Space Agency (Esa) mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, after the signal came through. “菲莱”成功着陆后，位于德国达姆施塔特市的欧洲航天局控制中心充满了欢呼声，工作人员们高兴得相互拥抱。 Director general Jean-Jacques Dordain described it as "a great great day, not only for Esa, but... I think for the world". He described the landing as "a big step for human civilisation". 欧洲航天局的局长让•雅克•多尔丹称这一天是“非常伟大的一天，不只是对欧洲航天局来说，更是整个世界的一个大日子”。他称这次着陆是“人类文明史上的一大步”。 Further analysis is needed to fully understand the status of the probe, known as Philae. 有关“菲莱”着陆器目前的情况还需要进一步的全面分析。 |
