Living in space is every would-be astronaut's dream. My six-month stay on a space station has come to an end, and it has been a challenging but magical adventure.l bet you'd love to know what daily life is like up in space and how it differs from that on the Earth——the low gravity definitely makes ordinary things strange!

The strangeness of living in space is apparent from the moment we sleep. Due to the near absence of gravity in space, we have to attach ourselves so that we don't float around. We usually sleep in private quarters, which are more like large upboards, or in sleeping bags attached to the walls or the ceiling.
从我们睡觉的那一刻起,生活在太空中的奇怪就显而易见了。由于太空中几乎没有重力,我们不得不把自己固定住,这样我们就不会四处漂浮。我们通常睡在独立的睡眠区里,更像是大橱柜,或者睡在固定在墙上或天花板上的睡袋里。
