We need to make sure the Wentian space station lab module and the carrier rocket are in good condition. Second, we will switch the carrier rocket from test mode to fuel filling mode. The last thing, which is the most crucial part, is to refuel and launch.

首先，我们需要确保问天实验舱各系统，以及我们运载火箭地面系统处于一个良好的状态。其次，我们要帮运载火箭，从以前的测试状态转移到加注状态。最后，也是最关键的内容，那就是加注发射。

Cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-3 separated from the space station yesterday after completing its mission. It’s in good condition and will re-enter the atmosphere in the future. The lab module will dock【对接】 at the same port where Tianzhou-3 connected to the station.Another lab module known as Mengtian is expected to be launched in October. The space station will be complete once it is attached.

昨日（7.17），天舟三号货运飞船完成全部既定任务，撤离空间站组合体。目前天舟三号状况良好，后续将在地面控制下择机再入大气层。天舟三号撤离前停靠的，是对接舱前向的对接口，这也是后续问天实验舱发射以后要对接的对接口。此外，梦天实验舱已完成正样热试验，将于10月发射。很快，备受世界瞩目的“天宫”空间站“完整体”就可以展现在眼前了。

今年是中希建交五十周年，作为"中国希腊文化和旅游年"活动框架中的重要活动，"塔拉萨：海洋文明与希腊艺术"特展，今天在上海博物馆开幕。记者孙思奇为您带来更多报道。

Originally, 12 ancient artifacts【文物】 were scheduled to be showcased at the exhibition, but five of them were not sent due to a combination of Shanghai’s pandemic restrictions and Greece’s rules on relics. But exhibition organizers found a workaround using projection technology. The pieces being projected include "Youth Riding a Dolphin" and "The Statuette of Poseidon", the Greek god of the sea.

展览原本将呈现12件古希腊文物，但考虑到文物安全，12件希腊古代文物按当地法律不能采取疫情期间这种特殊的运输方式，所以很遗憾无法如约来到上海。为此，其中 5件文物通过全息投影技术呈现，包括雅典卫城博物馆所藏青铜雕像《骑海豚的青年》、雅典国家考古博物馆所藏青铜雕像《波塞冬像》等。

I think this is the fact that the restrictions because of the pandemic. We have very strict rules in Greece regarding the ancient relics【文物】, so they can only travel accompanied. So since this was not possible, we had to work around this problem, and we figured out that the 3D holographic of high definition would a good solution.

希腊国家文物有非常严格的海外展出要求，必须要有人员押运。而且这些展品来自不同地区，因此在疫情之下，人员交流变得非常困难。但用了3D影像技术，我觉得是非常好的解决方案。

Contemporary exhibits include the oil painting "Siren-Odysseus". Inspired by a vase from The British Museum, the painting combines Greek history with mythology.

此外，展览还带来了34组当代希腊艺术作品。这件油画作品《塞壬奥德修斯》灵感来自大英博物馆馆藏的古希腊陶瓶上的瓶绘。这幅作品表现了希腊文化与历史的相互影响。
