二、故事一：A Day Above the Earth
对应词表：discipline 及其之前的 27 个词条
（一）英文版
Chen Wei had dreamed of becoming an astronaut ever since she was a girl. Nothing, however, could have prepared her for her first morning aboard the space station, when gravity seemed to disappear and the absence of weight turned every small movement into something new. She would float out of her sleeping cupboard, catch the handrail, and watch the blue curve of the Earth turn slowly below.
Space had always been her calling, so the endless chores never seemed to bother her. Small tasks occupy most of her hours: checking the mission plan, recording data, and helping to evaluate how the human body changes far above the Earth.
Once she placed a tiny creature— a mosquito carried up for study — under a microscope, hoping the results might cast new light on how living things adapt to space.
Maintenance was a constant duty, for in circumstances like these even a loose screw could grow into a serious problem. In view of the team's exposure to radiation above the atmosphere, everyone wore a small badge that made an invisible danger visible.
Comfort was a rare luxury; water had to travel through a narrow tube, and furthermore every meal arrived in a sealed pack. Even sleep sometimes needed a pill, because rest was vital if the team were to stay sharp.
Yet nothing was ever left to chance. Strict rules and self-discipline governed each hour, and in the circumstances, that order was exactly what kept them all safe.
（二）中文版
陈薇从小就梦想成为一名宇航员。然而，没有什么能为她在空间站上的第一个早晨做好准备——重力仿佛消失了，重量的缺失让每一个细小的动作都变得新奇。她会从睡柜里飘出来，抓住扶手，看着地球蓝色的弧线在下方缓缓转动。
太空一直是她心中的天职，所以再多的琐事似乎也不会让她烦恼。大部分时间，各种小任务占据着她：核对任务计划、记录数据，并协助评估人体在地球之上发生的变化。有一次，她把一只小小的生物——一只带上太空做研究的蚊子——放到显微镜下，希望结果能为生物如何适应太空提供新的认识。
维护是一项持续的职责，因为在这样的情况下，连一颗松动的螺丝都可能变成大问题。鉴于团队在大气层之上暴露于辐射之中，每个人都佩戴着一枚小小的徽章，让看不见的危险变得可见。舒适是难得的奢侈；水必须通过一根细管流动，此外，每餐都装在密封袋里。连睡觉有时也需要一片药片，因为若要让团队保持敏锐，休息至关重要。
然而，一切都不容有失。严格的规则与自我约束支配着每一个小时；而在这种情况下，正是这种秩序让他们始终安全。

三、故事二：The Long Road to the Stars
对应词表：discipline 之后的 36 个词条
（一）英文版
For Lin Hao, the school trip to the space museum was altogether a day he would never forget. He was not the kind of boy who put leisure above everything else; what he really wanted was to understand where the stars had come from.
In the main hall, a guide — a retired mechanic who had once worked at a famous space centre — welcomed the group. He explained that the crew, drawn from different countries, comprise some of the finest talents of a generation, and that each shuttle used to fly between Earth and space with incrediblyconstant precision.
On a huge screen, live coverage of a launch was playing, and the guide asked the students to scan the numbers on the wall: the total frequency of launches, the cost of each investment, and the hydrogen that would lift a rocket far above the clouds.
"Given the money involved," he said, "support is never permanent; every agency must fight for its purse. That is also the motive behind so many private companies today." A tale of failure and success, he added, hides behind every flight, and it is plain to see that no single mind could ever calculate the whole journey alone.
Near the window stood a telescope. "Point it up," the guide smiled, "and you will see the universe for yourself. An astronomer may study the origin of a star, but its orbit is what keeps it steady.
Our own administration and a small assistant team spend years on such work, for the foundation of every flight is careful study — it was science that first began to lay the foundation for modern spacecraft."
Then he opened an old kit of tools. "It is merely a grain of dust," he said, holding up a crucial little part, "yet in the right hands even this may find shelter, and today nuclear power can carry a craft beyond the planets."
That night, Lin Hao looked up and knew his future had begun.
（二）中文版
对林浩来说，这次去太空博物馆的学校参观完全是难忘的一天。他不是那种把闲暇看得高于一切的男孩；他真正想弄明白的，是星星从哪里来。
在大厅里，一位向导——一位曾在著名航天中心工作过的退休机械师——迎接了这群学生。他解释说，这支来自不同国家的全体工作人员构成了一代人中最优秀的一批人才；每一架航天飞机过去都以极其恒定的精度往返于地球与太空之间。大屏幕上正播放着一次发射的现场报道，向导让学生们去浏览墙上的数字：发射的总频率、每次投资的成本，以及那将把一枚火箭托举到云端之上的氢。
“考虑到投入的资金，”他说，“支持从来不是永久的；每个机构都必须为自己的资金（财源）而争取。这也是今天这么多私营公司背后的动机所在。”他接着说，每一次飞行的背后都藏着一段失败与成功的故事；而且显而易见，没有任何一个头脑能独自计算出整段旅程。
窗边立着一架望远镜。“把它朝上，”向导笑道，“你就会亲眼见到宇宙。天文学家或许会研究一颗恒星的起源，但真正让它保持稳定的，是它的轨道。我们自己的行政部门和一个很小的助理团队要在这样的工作上花上数年，因为每一次飞行的基础都是细致的研究——正是科学最先为现代航天器打下基础。”
随后他打开一套旧工具。“它仅仅是一粒尘土，”他举起一个至关重要的小零件说，“然而在合适的人手里，就连它也能找到庇护；而如今，核能可以把飞行器送往行星之外。”
那天夜里，林浩抬头仰望星空，知道自己的未来已经开始。
