香港各界翘首以盼的「天宫课堂·港澳专场」太空授课昨日成功举行。包括香港首位载荷专家黎家盈在内的神舟二十三号乘组，在浩瀚太空为港澳中小学生讲解及示范科学实验，并进行「天地对话」。这是国家级航天和科普资源首次专门落地港澳，充分彰显中央对港澳的高度重视与特别关爱，对青少年厚植家国情怀、投身创科发展，对香港加快融入和服务国家发展大局具有深远影响和重要意义。

这堂「太空课」经过周密安排、精心筹备，现场互动热烈，精彩纷呈。航天员们在微重力环境下示范的各种科学实验和物理奇观，让观看直播的同学爆发出阵阵惊呼与热烈掌声。最具标志性的时刻，莫过于香港载荷专家黎家盈博士全程以广东话讲解和授课。她带领大家「云参观」太空厨房，分享在太空亲手烘焙蛋糕、想起香港街头小食「鸡蛋仔」的温馨细节，并讲述了面对「沙漠生存」与「睡眠剥夺」等极限训练时，如何凭借钢铁般的意志克服困难。来自「太空师姐」的亲切勉励与奋斗故事，深刻启迪了港澳青少年的心灵，激发起他们探索未知的强烈兴趣。

为港澳特设太空课堂，充分彰显了中央对港澳青少年的高度关心。众所周知，中国空间站在轨运作极其繁忙，各项科学实验与科研任务排得满满当当。尽管如此，国家依然在神舟二十三号任务中专门排进了这场「港澳专属」的天宫课堂。这种破天荒的特殊安排，充分表明中央对港澳年轻一代的厚爱与期许。在「一国两制」的制度下，港澳同胞不仅是国家现代化建设的支持者，更是核心参与者；香港与国家命运紧密相连，共享荣光、共担责任。

对于香港青少年而言，这是一堂「顶配」的科普课，也是最直观、生动的爱国主义教育课。授课安排将国家重大科技成就与航天员顽强奋斗的个人经历相融合，其效果远胜于传统课本的说教。透过航天员讲述训练过程与心路历程，香港学生可以真切感受「特别能吃苦、特别能战斗、特别能攻关、特别能奉献」的载人航天精神。这种宝贵精神力量，能引导青少年树立正确的人生观与价值观，将个人的青春梦想融入国家发展大局之中，在潜移默化中播下爱国爱港、投身创科的种子。

这次太空授课，也是香港科研实力与人才集聚优势的集中展现。正如行政长官李家超在致辞中所言：「航天梦从来不是遥不可及，香港人同样可以翱翔天空，为祖国航天事业贡献力量。」黎家盈博士成功进入太空，在舱内亲自组装、运维由香港科技大学研发的「天韵相机」，实现了香港航天员操控香港自主研发载荷的历史性突破。除了这次任务，香港科研团队还在国家月球和火星探测任务中提供仪器与技术资源，并在太空进行空间搭载实验，以香港科研力量服务国家航天工程。国家为香港搭建了最高规格的沟通桥梁与广阔平台，是对香港创科实力的最高肯定，更期待未来有更多香港科研工作者和青少年脱颖而出，为国家航天事业贡献力量。

A Top-Tier Science Lesson That Deepens Hong Kong Youths' Affection for the Nation

The much-anticipated "Tiangong Class" Hong Kong and Macao Special Session was successfully held yesterday. The Shenzhou-23 crew, including Hong Kong's first payload specialist, Lai Ka-ying, explained and demonstrated scientific experiments from space for primary and secondary school students in Hong Kong and Macao. They also engaged in a live dialogue with students on Earth. It was the first time that national-level aerospace and science education resources had been specially brought to Hong Kong and Macao. The arrangement fully demonstrated the central authorities' high regard and special care for the two cities. It is also of profound significance in fostering young people's affection for the country, encouraging them to pursue innovation and technology, and accelerating Hong Kong's integration into and contribution to national development.

Meticulously planned and prepared, the "space lesson" was packed with fascinating demonstrations and lively interaction. Scientific experiments and physical phenomena demonstrated by the astronauts in microgravity drew bursts of amazement and applause from students watching the live broadcast. One of the most memorable moments came when Dr Lai Ka-ying, Hong Kong's payload specialist, conducted her presentation entirely in Cantonese. She took students on a virtual tour of the space kitchen and shared how baking a cake in space reminded her of Hong Kong's beloved street snack, egg waffles. She also spoke about undergoing extreme training, including desert survival and sleep deprivation, and how sheer determination helped her overcome the challenges. The warm encouragement and inspiring story of this "senior from space" struck a chord with young people in Hong Kong and Macao and sparked their curiosity about the unknown.

A space lesson specially arranged for Hong Kong and Macao speaks volumes about the central authorities' care for young people in the two cities. As is widely known, the China Space Station has an extremely demanding schedule, with scientific experiments and research missions conducted one after another. Even so, a special Tiangong Class session dedicated to Hong Kong and Macao was incorporated into the Shenzhou-23 mission. Such an unprecedented arrangement reflects the country's care for and expectations of the younger generation in both cities. Under "one country, two systems" , people in Hong Kong and Macao are not merely supporters of the country's modernization. They are active participants in it. Hong Kong's future is closely tied to that of the nation, sharing both its achievements and responsibilities.

For young people in Hong Kong, this was not only a "top-tier" science lesson but also a vivid and direct lesson in patriotism. By combining the country's major scientific and technological achievements with the astronauts' personal stories of perseverance, the session proved far more compelling than conventional textbook preaching. Through the astronauts' accounts of their training and inner struggles, Hong Kong students could gain a genuine understanding of the spirit of China's manned space programme: the courage to endure hardship, to fight, to tackle difficult problems and to make sacrifices. Such values can help young people develop a sound outlook on life and a strong sense of values. They can also inspire them to connect their personal aspirations with the country's development and quietly sow the seeds of love for the country and Hong Kong, as well as enthusiasm for innovation and technology.

The space lesson also showcased Hong Kong's strengths in scientific research and its ability to attract talent. As Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said in his speech, "The dream of space exploration has never been beyond our reach. Hong Kong people, too, can soar into the skies and contribute to our country's space programme." Dr Lai' s journey into space marked a historic breakthrough. On board the space station, she personally assembled and operated MUSICO, a scientific instrument developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. For the first time, a Hong Kong astronaut was operating a payload independently developed in Hong Kong. Hong Kong's contribution to the national space programme extends well beyond this mission. Local research teams have provided instruments and technological resources for the country's lunar and Mars exploration missions, while also conducting experiments in space. In doing so, Hong Kong's research capabilities have contributed directly to the country's aerospace development. The nation has provided Hong Kong with platforms of the highest level and valuable opportunities for collaboration. This represents strong recognition of the city's innovation and technology capabilities. Looking ahead, more Hong Kong researchers and young people are expected to distinguish themselves and contribute their talents to the country's space programme.

常用词汇

•profound（深远的、深刻的adj.）

解说：多用于形容影响、意义、情感的「深度」，书面感强。

近义词辨析：

deep，意思相近但较口语化，适用范围更广（deep water、deep sleep 皆可）。

significant，强调「重要」，但不一定带有「深刻」的情感或哲理色彩。

小提醒：香港人口语常把 "deep" 用来形容「深奥、不浮于表面」的内容，例如「这本书讲的内容很 deep」。但deep 在书面语境中容易先被读成「物理上的深度」，要靠上下文才读得出「深奥」；profound 则一开始就专指思想、意义之「深刻」，不会有歧义，适合写作时使用。

•foster（培养、促进v.）

解说：常搭配抽象、正面的事物（foster a sense of belonging / foster creativity），语气温和、带「悉心培育」的意味。

近义词辨析：

encourage：泛指鼓励，对象可以是人或行为，语气较直接。

promote：强调「推动、宣传」某事物使其发展或普及，常用于政策、产品语境。

•meticulously（一丝不苟地、精心地adv.）

解说：强调对细节极度讲究，甚至到吹毛求疵的程度。

近义词辨析：

careful：泛指小心谨慎，程度中性，适用范围很广。

thorough：强调「彻底、无遗漏」，重点在完整度而非细节的精致度。

写作表达

一、如何写「意义重大」

•be of profound significance：正式、书面，强调深远、长期的意义。

•句型固定，后面常接 in + V-ing（如原句 in fostering...）或 for + N，用来说明「意义体现在哪个方面」，不要漏掉这个介词片语，否则句子会显得意义悬空、没有着落。

•speak volumes about：不直接说「重要」，而是「这件事本身已充分说明了……」，语气含蓄有力。

•speak volumes about 的主词通常是「一件事、一个安排」（this arrangement / this decision / the fact that...），而不是「人」；它的逻辑是「事情本身＝证据」，所以后面接的名词多半是抽象概念（care, commitment, determination），较少接具体事物。常见错误是误用成 "this speaks a lot"——地道说法必须是 speak volumes（固定用 volumes，不可换成 a lot / much）。

二、如何写「精神与价值」

•outlook on life：指人生观，较抽象、书面。

•写作时可以固定搭配 "develop a sound outlook on life"，其中 sound 是关键形容词，意思是「健全、稳健的」，比 good 更书面、更常搭配抽象名词（sound judgement / sound values / sound reasoning）。

•sow the seeds of：比喻手法，指「埋下……的种子」，暗示影响是潜移默化、日后会发芽的。

•sow the seeds of 后面一定接正面或中性的抽象名词（love, hope, curiosity, change），且常与 quietly 或 gradually 等副词搭配，因为这个比喻本身就强调「潜移默化、不是立竿见影」；如果句子强调「立即见效」，这个片语就不适用，应改用 spark / trigger 之类的词。

三、如何写「突破与成就」

•mark a historic breakthrough：强调「开创先河」的成就。

•mark a historic breakthrough 的主词通常是「事件」而非「人」（注意原句主词是 Dr Lai's journey，而不是 Dr Lai），因为 mark 这个动词的逻辑是「这件事＝标志」，

•distinguish themselves：指「脱颖而出、表现突出」，常用于期许人才发展。

•distinguish themselves 是反身动词片语（distinguish + oneself），主词一定要跟后面的反身代名词对应（they...themselves / she...herself），这是学生最容易漏掉或用错的地方。

四、如何写「展望未来」

•looking ahead：句首常用的过渡语，带出对未来的期许， in the future更有文采。

•looking ahead 是分词构句，固定放句首、后面接逗号，功能类似段落过渡语，等于中文「展望未来」四字，之后不需要再重复 in the future，否则语意重复。

•be expected to：客观、留有余地地表达期望，比will更委婉，论断听起来像是众所公认的推论。

•be expected to 是被动语态，暗示「这是普遍期望／客观判断」，而不是「我个人认为」，所以主词通常是「事、人的群体」（more researchers / the industry / the economy），而非「I」。
