第一次遇见你的时候，你闪闪地发着光。那图片中戴着宇航帽的女孩，你的眼睛闪烁着光芒。

我是那个长着大眼睛、皮肤有些黝黑的男孩啊。别人的眼里，我在如花的季节，可我依然有淡淡的、如蔓柔水仙花似的轻轻忧伤；这忧伤仅仅属于过去的大地，不属于我本有的自己啊。我的那穿着宇航服、戴着宇航帽、未来飞翔太空、带着浓浓笑意的曼妙十六岁中国女孩。

希望能够打动你的心魂、给我带来无限遐想的宇航女孩啊。你那飞空的船飘逸灵动，充满活力地放射。我每天的提琴乐曲，悠扬的我啊，就像你的船中的你——这飘着黑发的女孩，已经是飞向远方的优美琴声中的音符。

琴声的旋律，就像电子实验室中示波器的波形；然而经过我的耳的时候，却变成了激荡晴美的、你的棽丽的话语。

When I first met you, you shimmered with light. The girl in the picture wore an astronaut’s helmet, and light trembled in her eyes.

I was the dark-skinned boy with large eyes. To others I stood in the season of flowers, yet a light sorrow still moved through me, tender as a trailing narcissus. That sorrow belonged only to the earth of the past, not to the self that was truly mine. You were my graceful sixteen-year-old Chinese girl, smiling deeply in your spacesuit, destined to fly into the future sky.

Astronaut girl who stirred my soul and opened infinite reverie: your flying vessel was light and alive. In the violin music I played each day, the black-haired girl within that ship had already become a note carried far away.

The melody resembled the waveform of an oscilloscope in an electronics laboratory. Yet when it passed through my ear, it became your radiant and beautiful speech.

当我们中国的光芒发出的时候，我们所感知的世界、所知晓的太空，都因为我们的光芒而感受我们的爱意。送给美丽的驾驶宇宙飞船的中国少年的歌。看啊，我们的少男少女宇航员多么美丽。

浩瀚的星空，令人遐想。以前小的时候，就喜爱看《天文爱好者》。我甚至收藏一个封面上的宇航女孩的照片，我的妹妹说可以帮助我再多找几个，我当时还不好意思。大学毕业的时候还想去天文台。以前在上学与工作的时候，就学习若干语言，背诵词汇，钻研一些语言学及其他方面的知识。虽然没有非常明确地想到用在航太的未来上面，但是对航太航天的喜爱，终于让我决定下来思考航太航天的共通语言问题。

每次航天飞船发射，我都心情激动。虽然我没有参与，但他们与她们实现了我的梦想。我没有跟你们见过面；有些人在电视上面，有些在社交媒体看过，我从心里欣赏与佩服。这是我们新时代最可爱的人。雄壮而甜美的他们与她们开创出中国人的航天时代。使用象形文字的我们啊，十五世纪既然已经错过了大航海时代，那么我们必须得在航天时代航行。我们是古华夏的后人，也是人类所有古文明与现代文明的喜爱者与继承者。我们中国人能够实现宇航探索的伟大理想。

任何诗句也好，音乐绘画也好，如果没有对人的想象，就没有生命力。这种想象，是发自内心的崇高想象，是对有才华的人的赞美。佩服有才华的人；他们或她们的才华，都是长久以来不间断的努力才获得。献给敬爱的航天人：不嫉妒你的才华，极强烈地爱你的才华；我们的才华也被你们极其强烈地激发出来。

When China sends out its light, the world we perceive and the space we know may feel the love carried by that radiance. This is a song for the beautiful young people of China who pilot spacecraft. Look how beautiful our young astronauts are.

The vast starry sky awakens reverie. As a child I loved reading Astronomy Enthusiast. I once kept a photograph of an astronaut girl from a cover; my younger sister offered to help me find more, and I was shy about it. After university I even wished to work at an observatory. Through school and work I learned languages, memorised words, and studied linguistics and other knowledge. I did not yet have a clear plan to use them for the future of spaceflight, but love of space eventually led me to think about a common language for it.

Every spacecraft launch moves me. I did not take part, but these women and men realised my dream. I have never met them; I saw some on television and some through social media, and I admire them from my heart. They are beloved people of our new era, opening a Chinese age of spaceflight. Having missed the great age of ocean navigation, we who inherit an ancient writing civilisation must sail in the space age. We are descendants of ancient Huaxia and lovers and heirs of all ancient and modern civilisations. We can realise the great ideal of exploring space.

Poetry, music and painting have no life without imagination directed toward people. Such imagination rises from the heart and praises talent. Talent is earned through long, uninterrupted effort. To the astronauts I honour: I do not envy your gifts; I love them intensely, and through them our own gifts are intensely awakened.

航太共通语言的构想，一定会成为宇航的一朵美丽的花；那是开放并画在太空中的花，直至变成宇航的基石。贡献才华给这个世界，我们成为自己想成为的人，不辜负自己，不辜负岁月。我们走向太空的理想，会如小提琴演奏与画作的美丽，成为悠美的诗歌、一种飘逸的想象，愿给人们带来美感的享受。

我们正在面对即将来临的宇航时代。语言书在这里构造一个未来太空宇航中可以使用的语言方案：当听别人说英语、法语的时候，通过通语 collanguage 所建立的规则与想象，把语句转成高低错落、音乐般的汉语，或者转成如手风琴拉动般的英语、法语，实现一种美好交流。考虑不同语言文化的因素，把汉语拼音规律用于跨语系语言研究，这就是语言书所探寻思考的。把不同语系的语言联系起来，或许这就是瑜伽 yoga 所教导的本意。在此研究基础上，构建一个以汉字与拉丁字母为基础，由汉语、英语、法语与其他有历史价值的语言共同构成的太空通用语言。

在花园里，哪哒花盛开。玫瑰、水仙、杜鹃花、牡丹、月季、君子兰、石榴、桂树、没药、沉香。和风吹在我的园内，吹动着花的香气。

The idea of a common language for space will become a beautiful flower of spaceflight: a flower opening and drawn in space until it becomes a foundation stone. By giving our gifts to the world, we become the people we wish to be, faithful to ourselves and to time. Our ideal of travelling into space will be beautiful as violin music and painting—graceful poetry and a free imagination offered for the delight of others.

We face the approaching space age. Here the Language Book imagines a language that might be used in future spaceflight. Through the rules and imagination of a collanguage, a sentence heard in English or French might be rendered as Chinese rising and falling like music, or as English and French moving like the bellows of an accordion. The project considers different languages and cultures, and explores whether observations from Chinese phonetics can inform cross-language research. From such study it imagines a space language built with Chinese characters and the Latin alphabet, drawing on Chinese, English, French and other historically significant languages.

In the garden, flowers open: roses, narcissi, azaleas, peonies, Chinese roses, clivia, pomegranate, osmanthus, myrrh and agarwood. A mild wind passes through my garden and stirs their fragrance.
