NASA says that two of its astronauts on the International Space Station won't be able to return to Earth until at least late March.
美国航空航天局日前表示，国际空间站上的两名宇航员至少要到明年3月底才能返回地球。
That will bring what was expected to be an eight day stay to nine months.
这将使得最初预计的停留时间由8天延长至9个月。
Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore traveled to the ISS in June for a test mission, but their return was delayed to early 2025.
今年6月，苏妮·威廉姆斯和布奇·威尔莫尔前往国际空间站进行测试任务，但他们的返航时间被推迟到了2025年年初。
The Boeing Starliner capsule they arrived on was deemed unfit to return them to Earth.
苏妮和布奇搭乘的波音“星际客船”太空舱被认为不适合将他们送回地球。
In the meantime, they have welcomed new spacefarers to the ISS, and pushed through challenging times.
与此同时，他们已经在国际空间站迎来了新的宇航员，并度过了充满挑战的时期。
"It was trying at times. It was, there were some tough times all the way through."
“有段时间很难熬。一直以来都有一些艰难的时刻。”
"I miss my two dogs. I miss my friends. But you know what?
“我想念我的两只狗。我想念我的朋友们。但你知道吗？
Like Butch said, there are so many people on Earth that are sending us messages and it makes you feel just right at home with everybody when we're able to have those conversations with our friends and family at home."
就像布奇说的，地球上有很多人在给我们发信息，这让我们感觉在和家中的亲朋好友聊天的时候，我们就像是人在家中一样。”
Now NASA says that they will have to wait still a while longer,
而现在，美国航空航天局称，苏妮和布奇将不得不再等一段时间，
as teams complete processing on a spacecraft for the four-person crew that will replace them on board the ISS.
因为团队要先完成可容纳四人的飞船的相关处理工作，这四名宇航员将会在国际空间站上接替苏妮和布奇。
The agency did not specify a date for the return party, which will include Williams and Wilmore, as well as another NASA astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut who arrived over three months after them.
该机构没有透露返程团队的具体返回日期，该团队中除了苏妮和布奇之外，还有另一名NASA宇航员、一名在他们三个多月后抵达空间站的俄罗斯宇航员。
