"However, the diaper is only a very temporary solution, and doesn’t provide a healthy/protective option longer than one day."

“然而，这只是一个临时解决方案，尿布使用超过一天就没办法保证健康和防护性。”

Sometimes, astronauts have to wait even longer. The two men and one woman who packed themselves into a Russian Soyuz space capsule last week had to wait two full days between launching from Kazakhstan and arriving at the International Space Station.

有时候，宇航员甚至要等得更久。上周，两名男性和一名女性进入了俄罗斯联盟号太空舱，从太空舱在哈萨克斯坦发射起到抵达国际空间站，期间他们必须等待两天。

The Soyuz is equipped with a portable toilet, which looks like an air-powered pee jug.

“联盟号”配备了便携式厕所，它看起来像是一个空气动力小便壶。

On future missions to deep space destinations like an asteroid or Mars, NASA suspects it could take up to 144 hours, or six days, to get to a proper toilet.

未来太空任务的目的地是小行星或是火星之类更远的地方，美国宇航局猜测，宇航员们可能要坚持6天才能找到一个合适的厕所。

In emergency situations, astronauts may need to zip themselves into a fully pressurized, bulky orange spacesuit, complete with helmet and gloves.

在紧急情况下，宇航员可能需要将自己包裹在完全加压的、配有头盔和手套的笨重橙色宇航服中。
