Hong Kong (CNN) -- Reports of Jade Rabbit's demise may have been premature.
China's first lunar rover had stoppedfunctioning, state media reported Wednesday, but signs are emerging that Yutu,as it is known in Mandarin, may be up and running again.
Following technical malfunctions Xinhuasaid that the lunar rover had lost communication with mission control but onThursday the state news agency said that the rover was "fully awake"and had returned to its normal signal-receiving status.
香港(CNN)——关于玉兔死讯的报道为时过早。
官方媒体周三曾报道中国首个月球车已停止运转,但玉兔苏醒并再次运行的迹象正越来越明显。新华社曾说因为技术故障,月球车已与控制中心失去联系,但第二天它又说,月球车已经“完全苏醒”,并已恢复到正常的信号接收状态。
"Jade Rabbit has fully resurrected andis able to receive signals, but still suffers a mechanical controlabnormality," China'slunar program spokesman Pei Zhaoyu told Xinhua.
"The rover entered hibernation whilein an abnormal state. We were worried it wouldn't be able to make it throughthe extreme cold of the lunar night. But it came back alive. The rover stands achance of being saved as it is still alive."
Xinhua also posted a screenshot of theChang'e-3 Moon Probe's Sina Weibo account, which, at 8.49am Thursday morninglocal time, asked: "Is anyone out there?"
“玉兔”号月球车已全面苏醒,恢复到休眠前正常的信号接收状态,但机构控制异常的故障仍在分析排查中。探月工程新闻发言人裴照宇13日说:“玉兔是以非正常状态进入睡眠的,我们原来担心它无法承受月夜极低温度,但它活过来了!它起码还活着,就有救过来的可能性。” 新华社还发布了一个嫦娥三号月球探测器的新浪微博的截图,在当地时间周四上午08时49分,他问道:“hi,有人在吗?”
The rover has over 300,000 followers on theChinese Twitter-like social media site, some of whom celebrated the luckyrobot's resurrection.
One Weibo user said that the rabbit was"waking up for the [Chinese lantern] festival" which starts onFriday.
Another took a cynical view, commentingthat some countries would "be disappointed" at China's spaceprogram's ability to come back from the dead.
An amateur website dedicated to monitoringradio signals from space also reported on its Twitter account that it haddetected "pretty good signals" from the device.
月球车在这个社交媒体网站上拥有超过30万粉丝,很多人都在为这个幸运的机器人的复活而欢呼。 一位微博用户说,小兔子是因为星期五的元宵节而醒来的。 另一个则尖刻地评论道,一些国家将因中国太空计划死而复生的能力而感到“失望”。 一个致力于监测太空无线电信号的业余网站也在推特上说,它已从玉兔那里检测到“非常不错的信号”。
The lunar rover's end seemed near when itsigned off at the end of January with a poignant message: "Goodnighthumanity."
The device had been out of action for twoweeks following a technical malfunction, and media around the world filed itsobituary late on Wednesday after a short statement on Chinese state mediaalerted the world to its apparent terminal failings.
"China's first lunar rover, Yutu,could not be restored to full function on Monday as expected," the reportstated.
自他在一月底发了个伤感的消息——“大家晚安”之后,这个月球车似乎死期将至。伴随着技术故障,他休眠了两个星期后,中国官方媒体发表了一个简单的声明:“中国的第一个月球车玉兔,没能按预想在星期一完全恢复功能。”世界各地媒体随后转道了这一讣告。
However, the robot has given its fans in China andaround the world hope that it will resume its planned three-month mission andcontinue examining the moon's surface for potential resources.
The deputy chief designer of the Chang-eprobe system told China National Radio the technical team is still trying todetermine the source of problem and work on the plan for repair.
Should Jade Rabbit make a full recovery, itwould cap another success for space exploration, which has seen NASA'sOpportunity Mars rover, currently exploring the red planet, far outlast itsexpected lifespan.
然而,他将恢复其为期三个月的任务,并继续研究月球表面的潜在资源的消息,重新燃起了他在中国和世界各地的粉丝的希望。嫦娥探测系统的副总设计师告诉中国广播网,技术团队仍然在试图确定问题的来源并进行维修工作。
如果玉兔全面复苏,他可能超越另一个太空探索的成就,即美国宇航局的机遇号火星车,目前仍在探索这颗红色星球,远远超过其设计寿命。

chinamust have launched someone up there to kick it
中国一定是发射了个人上去踢了他一脚。

Accordingto Chinese mythology, a guy called Wugang is there being punished chopping thetree. I guess he took a rest and fix it.
在中国神话里,有个被罚在月亮上砍树的人叫吴刚。我猜就是他在休息时修好了玉兔。

I'm gladto see actual pictures of the moon from Jade Rabbit. I believe this rover willprove without a doubt the Apollo landings were fake. It was a good con jobwhile it lasted, but eventually the truth had to come out...most governmentallies take about 50 years to expose. But I know how this will play out...JadeRabbit will be fake, it's not really on the moon...it's all being created in asecret Chinese television studio some place...American Politicians would neverlie! The truth is about to come out.
我很高兴能从玉兔那看到真正的月球照片,我相信这个月球车可以毫无疑问地证明阿波罗登月是假的。这个谎言保持得很好,但真相总会水落石出的。大多数政府谎言大约需要50年才能公开,但我知道接下来会怎样——玉兔是假的,他并不真的在月球上…他完全是在中国某个电视摄影棚里秘密创造出来的…美国政府是永远不会撒谎的!
“真相”很快就要“只有一个”了。

Chineseare very smart, they do not choose the same landing site for a reason. They donot want to find out anything.
中国人很聪明,他们不选择相同的着陆点是有原因的。他们不希望证明任何东西。

It'sbaa-aack!
他复!!活!!了!!!!!
I'mactually glad to see that Jade Rabbit made it through lunar night. It alwaysseems like such a tragedy when years of research and planning, not to mentionmillions of dollars, go into a project and something goes catastrophicallywrong before anyone gets to use the thing. We (the USA) have a dead lander on Marsbecause one team measured in English and the other in metric -- and no onerealized until it hopelessly wrecked the landing. For all the high-technologyand super intelligent people involved with this kind of exploration, things DOfall through the cracks. It's so great when, despite that, it works anyway!
我真为玉兔撑过月夜而高兴。谁都不愿意看到一个积累了数年研究和计划——更不用说成千上万的钱了——的项目在没有获得回报之前就出现毁灭性的错误。我们(美国)曾有过一个失败的火星探测器,因为研究人员中一帮人用的英制测量单位而另一帮用的是公制。谁都没有发现这个错误,直到它绝望地坠毁。对于所有参与这种探索的高科技高素质人才来说,玉兔发生这种故障确实是他们疏忽了,但不管怎样,玉兔能复苏真是太好了!

I agree.People screw up. It is alive, and that is good.
我赞同。人类搞砸了,但他还活着,这就是好事。

I amwondering how complicated it could be to catch signals coming from space, orfor that matter, from such vehicle
我想知道从太空中捕捉信号到底有多难,或者就事论事,就说捕捉这个月球车的信号好了?
Hank me_me ? 2 hoursago 1 △ 0 ▽
Actually, not verycomplicated to catch, if you know where to look for them, decrypting them mightalso present a problem. even if the data istself is not encrypted, you'd stillhave to reverse engineer the protocol they are using.
then again, if you hadall that, you could remote control it if you wanted, so its probably not goingto be all that easy for u to glean much from it, unless they were really lazyabout their security (which they might be!)
实际上,如果你知道从哪里寻找的话就不难捕捉到,但解密会有问题。即使数据本身不保密,你也要逆向工程他们使用的协议。如果这你都做到了,你就可以按你想的远程控制他,所以想收集玉兔的信息并不那么容易,除非工作人员对他们的安保措施很松懈(也许他们真是这样呢)。

They should have sent 2and they will breed like rabbits.
他们应该发射两个,这样他们就能像兔子一样繁衍下去了。
