The European Space Agency congratulates the China National Space Administration on the successful launch of the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft, which is used in the text. The term taikonaut has been officially included in the Oxford Dictionary. On June 18th, at the launching ceremony of the online themed publicity and interactive guidance activity of “Write Youth Huazhang on the Motherland” held by Peking University, the “Space Hero” Yang Liwei, who had just arrived from the launch site, said: “Everyone still remember that the international astronaut was called astronaut, but we succeeded in creating a new term. We called the Chinese astronaut taikonaut.” “The word taikonaut was included in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1998.” Ma Haolan, director of the English editorial office of the Commercial Press, told The Paper that at that time, the development of Chinese aviation technology, foreign scientific magazines and some media had already adopted it when reporting. The word “taikonaut”. However, they have not yet verified whether the word was originally created by the Chinese or by foreigners from Pinyin when they reported on China’s spaceflight. Ma Haolan introduced that “taikonaut” is a word composed of “pinyin + English ending”. The first half of “taikon” comes from the Chinese pinyin of “space”, and the second half of ending “naut” can represent “astronauts” in English. People, “In my understanding,’taikon’ is equivalent to a title, because it comes from the Chinese pinyin, so it specifically refers to the identity of Chinese astronauts. It has a national symbol and distinction, and’naut’ represents professional identity. , Put it together to form the word.” In fact, as the only three independent manned space nations, the US, Russian and Chinese astronauts all have specific English names. The name of astronauts in the United States or other countries is generally “astronauts”, and Russian (or Soviet) astronauts are called “cosmonauts”, which is derived from the word “universe” in Russian. Ma Haolan said, “taikonaut” is a typical “intervention word”. In English, there are many intervention words of this kind. “For example, tofu (tofu), jiaozi (dumpling), etc., are all intervention words.” But she also admitted that words like “taikonaut” are not entirely pinyin, but “pinyin+English” combined words are rare in English. “At present, I can only think of this one.” “This reflects the development of our country’s space technology. At first, only the United States had a vocabulary specifically referring to its own astronauts, followed by Russia, and then China. This shows that China’s technology has developed to this level and its national strength has reached this level. China has This type of technology is unique to this country, and English will use a word to reflect it.” Ma Haolan said that language is the embodiment of real life. In Western societies that use English, it is generally recognized that the three countries of China, the United States and Russia The powerful space and aerospace technology simply created three words specifically referring to the astronauts of these three countries, so that the expression is clear and concise, and can be read without any other signs. “This word also reflects the importance of this country. Respect.” The staff of the “English-Chinese Dictionary” compilation office said that “taikonaut” is a way of “combining Chinese and Western” words. “The appearance of this word shows that our country’s aerospace development is getting better and better, and it has become a major aerospace country. The English-speaking world believed that there should be a special word to refer to Chinese astronauts, so they added Chinese elements to English and created the word taikonaut.” Ma Haolan said that “taikonaut” is already a commonly used word in the English-speaking world and has a high degree of recognition. But this term is not very popular among Chinese people who learn English. The reason is that on the one hand, the application range of “taikonaut” is not wide, on the other hand, “taikonaut” has not yet entered the field of vision of textbook writers. In elementary and middle school textbooks, the term “astronaut” is still used when referring to space-related content. This phenomenon is also reflected in other Chinese intervention words, such as “dumpling”. Nowadays, “dumpling” is commonly used in English textbooks for elementary and middle schools in China. However, this word means food with “noodles wrapped in stuffing” and cannot be used exclusively. Refers to Chinese dumplings, so “jiaozi” is now mostly used in the English-speaking world. “I think with the development of China’s space technology and the enhancement of national power, these words that reflect China’s unique social culture and history and borrowed from the past in Chinese should also be taken seriously in English teaching. We very much hope that these words will be regarded as formal Put these words in English teaching. As a Chinese, you should know these words in particular.” Ma Haolan said.

White is a color that is appropriate for all kitchens. If the counters, cabinets and walls are all using white, your kitchen will look harmonious. Especially, because this is a bright color, it will help the kitchen space look more spacious and airy. Reduces color difference in the kitchen interior Don’t create too many themes or colors in the same space, especially the kitchen area. This will not be suitable for a space that is limited in area. It is best to decorate the same theme, this will make the kitchen more spacious and airy. The kitchen must be exposed to light Do not take natural light lightly, this is also the reason why architects always design a light-filled kitchen space because light will help the area look wider, creating ventilation. Of course, light will also create abundant positive energy for homeowners. Choose furniture that looks well ventilated Interior is airy, the kitchen also looks brighter and more spacious. Therefore, the selection and decoration of the interior of the kitchen area should be carefully considered. Because this is an important factor determining the width and tightness of the kitchen space. Use shelves instead of sturdy cabinets Another way to make the kitchen look wider is to use an open storage shelf instead of a sturdy cabinet. With open, borderless storage shelves without cover, it will reduce the area while making the kitchen more ventilated and cooler./.

This house is located in the Mizuki Park project area, with the scale of one ground floor and two floors. When talking with the owner, the designer understands that the owner is someone interested in cooking and eating. In particular, you are Chinese, so the arrangement of the kitchen function is very careful.

How to have many shelves, make the most of the space without making the space heavy. To solve this, with the kitchen cabinet system, the designer has combined the storage cabinet into a unified block, and processed the curves of the cabinet wings to create a softer feel.

Instead of arranging the kitchen at the end of the house as usual, the designer did the opposite, bringing the kitchen to the front, the dining table to the back of the house, organized a large kitchen island in the center to exploit the darkness. multi-function of this area.

Thanks to that, on the holidays, when crowded guests and relatives gather, the kitchen island becomes the center of all activities, everyone can cook and talk together.

The designer added: “Because the family also has two small children, I want to create a youthful, gentle atmosphere through the use of bright color materials, the treatment of curved arches and ceilings. curved.

The kitchen island is also created with a soft, alternative shape to remove the straight and square lines that are often seen in street houses. Besides, in order to avoid the feeling that the shelves are a rigid and heavy block, I used green marble shelves to create a feeling of freshness, contrasting with the paint effect of the kitchen island and that created a highlight for the overall layout of the project ”.

Another interesting thing about this townhouse is the living space and study corner on the second floor. From the bedroom, the designer introduced indirect light into the child’s study area through the sliding glass wall. This solution also makes it feel like the bedroom is visually enlarged.

Besides, it is also convenient for parents to observe children learning and playing. In this space, the design is limited to cumbersome details, the color is also simple to create a feeling of airy and wider.

With the design of a townhouse, just a few small changes can bring great value. The same thing can be realized in this house: an extremely spacious and well-ventilated kitchen on the ground floor, the common living area connecting all members between private spaces … just that has brought many values ​​and differences for the living space of a young family. That is enough!
