To walk among the stars has been a dream of mankind since the beginning of time, and wandering among the heavens has inspired legends and fantasies across the ages. Today, that dream has become a reality, when we remember some of the greatest human achievements in history: walking on the moon, sending probes to distant planets and discovering the secrets behind the mysteries of the cosmos. (91)
In the middle of the twentieth century, however, humans were at the halfway point between viewing space travel as a dream and as a reality.
To them it was a goal rather than a fantasy, and the two main forces working toward that goal were the world’s two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States.
(92)
Both of the great nations, on the advent of incredibly efficient rocket thrusters capable of propelling man-made objects into space, strove to achieve the victory of finding a place among the stars and securing the considerable international prestige associated with that monumental achievement.
The Soviet Union gained the initial upper hand in the "Space Race", as it is commonly called, sending the first animal into space with its Sputnik program. Its success and momentum carried it forward, achieving the second remarkable goal of putting a human cosmonaut into orbit around the earth and, more importantly, bringing him safely back to earth.
(93)
The United States, sensing it was losing its position in the Space Race, set out to achieve the most ambitious goat yet: to put a man on the moon.
The resources of the entire nation were mobilized to work toward that goal under the orders of President John F. Kennedy, in the U. S. attempt to assert itself as a contender in the Space Race, despite the Soviet Union’s early victories. (94)
After several years, all the efforts bore fruit, when Nell Armstrong, an American, became the first man to walk on the moon.
With the utterance of his famous words, "That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong stated what everyone was thinking. The impossible had been achieved, for such a feat was considered impossible a scant hundred years prior. With the space program continuing forward, the future does indeed seem to hold unlimited possibilities for human kind. (95)
An international space station is now orbiting the earth and there are even plans for colonizing planets, bringing the dreams and fantasies of yesterday in line with the reality of today.
选项
答案
随着具有令人难以置信能力的可有效地将人造物体送入太空的火箭推进器的诞生,这两个大国都力求在星际间谋得一席之地,并努力获得此重大成就将带来的极高的国际声望。
解析
此句中on the advent…into space,作插入语。capable of propelling man-made objects into space是形容词短语作定语修饰thrusters。翻译时,插入语置于居首。此句主语是both of the great nations,谓语是strove。finding a place among the stars和securing…achievement并列修饰the victory。associated with that monumental achievement是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰the considerable international prestige。
