On the morning of September 11 2001 there was only one American off-planet – Expedition 3 Commander Frank Culbertson.
2001年9月11日的早上,在美国的宇航飞船上,只有指挥官弗兰克·卡本特森一人。
While 220 miles above the Earth aboard the International Space Station, Culbertson took incredible pictures of the Twin Towers after they were struck by the hijacked jets.
在距离地球220英里的航空站,卡本特森看到了难以置信的画面,世贸中心的姊妹楼被劫持的飞机撞毁了。
The station was passing over New York at the time of the attacks and it had a profound effect on the astronaut.
在袭击发生的时候,卡本特森正好飞过纽约的上空,这使得他很清楚的看到了袭击后的场面。
In a public message to his countrymen, he wrote the following day: ‘It's horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country from such a fantastic vantage point.
在给同胞的信息说,他这样说:“看到那些烟从那样一个雄伟的建筑物中倾斜出简直太可怕了。”
‘The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the Earth and watching life being destroyed by such wilful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are.’
“宇航员生活的二重性就在于他们既能感受到地球的进化,同时也能看到地球被任意可怕的行为毁坏。”
