One American astronaut and two Russians landed safely in Kazakhstan early Wednesday after spending nearly six months performing work on the International Space Station.

　　本周三早些时候，一名美国宇航员和两名俄罗斯宇航员在结束了国际空间站近六个月的工作之后返回地球，在哈萨克斯坦安全着陆。

　　American astronaut Jf Williams became the U.S. record-holder for most time spent in orbit after this mission brought him up to 534 days spent in space across four separate missions. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly previously held the record with 520 days in space. The world record is held by Russian Gennady Padalka who spent 879 days in space.

　　美国宇航员杰夫·威廉姆斯成了美国在轨道内最长时间纪录的保持者——算上这次任务，他一共参加了四次不同的任务，在太空中待了534天。美国宇航局宇航员斯科特·凯利此前保持着在太空中待520天的任务。世界纪录是由俄罗斯宇航员根纳迪·帕达卡保持的，他一共在太空待了879天。

　　Williams, along with Russian astronauts Alexy Ovchinin and Oleg Skripochka landed their Russian-made Soyuz capsule in central Kazakhstan just after 7 a.m. local time Wednesday, NASA said. The three men had disembarked from the space station about three and a half hours prior to their landing.

　　美国宇航局称，威廉姆斯和俄罗斯宇航员阿列克谢·奥夫奇宁、奥列格·斯克里波奇卡在俄制“联合号”太空舱中，于当地时间周三早上7点降落在哈萨克斯坦中部地区。这三名宇航员在着陆的近三个半小时之前离开了空间站。

　　In a statement, NASA called Williams “instrumental in preparing the station for future arrival of U.S. commercial crew spacecraft.” Williams, it said, performed five space walks during his time at the space station, one of which included the installation of a docking station for the commercial flights.

　　在一份声明中，美国宇航局称威廉姆斯“在空间站为未来美国商用太空旅行做了非常重要的工作”。声明中说，威廉姆斯在空间站工作的这段时间里进行了五次太空行走，其中一次是安装商用太空旅行的对接站。

　　After Williams lt the station, Russian Anatoly Ivanishin took command. He remains in the space station with American Kate Rubins and Japan’s Takuya Onishi.

　　在威廉姆斯离开空间站之后，俄罗斯宇航员安纳托利·伊凡尼辛接过了指挥权。他和美国宇航员凯特·鲁宾斯和日本宇航员大西卓哉继续在空间站里工作。

　　"I will certainly miss this view!" Williams posted on Twitter Tuesday, along with a picture of the Earth’s outer atmosphere. "Vast gratitude toward my crewmates, ground teams, supporting friends, and family.”

　　“我会很想念这种景色的!”威廉姆斯周二发推并附了一张地球外部大气的照片。“向我的机组成员、地面团队、支持我的朋友们和家人表示深深的感谢!”
