第1段第3句
Chang’e 1 is China’s first step in a 10-year plan
that aims to send a rover to the moon and get it back to the Earth intact.
其中on hand 有两个义项， 1. Present; available，如： Are there enough people on hand to hold a meeting? 2. About to happen; imminent，如： What is on hand for this evening? 显然这个介词短语在句中是第一个义项的定义。
其中dub一词，我们可以查到两个义项与相关的语境有关， 即a. To honor with a new title or description. b. To give a name to facetiously or playfully; nickname.从该作者的写 作用意来看，我们很难判断原作者采用了第一个严肃的用 法，还是第二个有点玩笑的用法。我们此处采用了严肃的 译称。

In 2003, China became only the third country in the world after the United States and Russia to put its own astronauts into space.
其中的短语only the third country 表示绝无仅有，但不一 定是唯一的意思，例如At just 48 years old and not even nine months in office, Obama became only the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize。所以 这里的译文应该是“仅有的第三个……国家”。

其中The Long March 3A rocket应该看成是“回 译”，即是回译，那就要回到原来中文的原名，有 关航天部门已经有固定的命名方式，即使用甲乙丙 丁的中文序列词来命名相关的对象，所以，我们不 能将其译成长征3A，而是长征3号甲。当然，你们 从网上还是可以看到有人在使用长征3A。
