So pleased to be back on Earth - after [a] nearly a year on the International Space Station she's glad to be home.
這位女宇航員很高興自己回到地球上來。在國際空間站上待了近一年后，她很高興回到了家。
Sliding off the Soyuz space capsule that brought her back, she's getting used to the Earth's gravity after being in space so long.
從帶她返航的聯盟號飛船太空艙頂部滑向地面，由于長時間呆在太空中，她需要適應地球上的重力。

[This is] Valentina Tereshkova - the first female cosmonaut in 1963, early on in the Soviet Union space programme. But she didn't get a second mission. Five years ago, at an event to unveil her space capsule at the Science Museum in London, she told me that it was because of sexism by her superiors.
這是瓦蓮京娜·捷列什科娃。她在1963年成為了第一位女宇航員，蘇聯太空計劃的早期。但她沒有接到第二次任務。五年前，在倫敦科學博物館為她當年駕駛的太空艙揭幕的活動上，她告訴我之所以沒再接到任務是因為她的上級對女性抱有偏見。
Valentina Tereshkova, Cosmonaut
We had been preparing for a female flight, but it was Korolev's [Sergei Pavlovich Korolev - lead Soviet rocket engineer] decision not to risk women's lives because one of the women in the space corps already had a family. We were against that decision. We were talking about it, and indeed we were writing to the Central Party committee disagreeing with that decision.

“我們當時一直在為全女性飛行做準備，但科羅廖夫（謝爾蓋·帕夫洛維奇·科羅廖夫，前蘇聯火箭設計總工程師）決定不拿女性的生命冒險，因為太空部隊的一名女性已經有了自己的家庭。我們反對那個決定。我們在不斷地談論這件事，也確實給中央委員會致信表示不同意那個決定?！?/p>
Even now, 90 percent of all those who've been in space have been men.
時至今日，90%的宇航員都是男性。
Libby Jackson, UK Space Agency
Men and women are just as capable of being astronauts. All astronauts should be chosen for their mission, based on the skills and qualities that they have, and gender isn't one of them.

“男性和女性都有能力成為宇航員。所有宇航員都應根據個人技能和素質被派選出來執(zhí)行任務，而性別不應是評判標準之一?！?/p>
