中国改装航母今日首次试航

China's refitted aircraft carrier left its shipyard at Dalian Port in northeast Liaoning Province on Wednesday morning to start its first sea trial. Military sources said that the first trial is on schedule for the carrier's refitting project and shouldn’t take long.
中国改装的航空母舰周三早上离开在东北辽宁省大连港的船坞，开始了它的首次出海试航。军方人士称，按照航母的改装计划，首次试航时间不会太长。

After returning from its trial, the aircraft carrier will continue refitting and testing work. The carrier was originally built by the former Soviet Union which named it Varyag but failed to complete its construction before collapsing in 1991. The still-unnamed aircraft carrier was an empty shell. Ukraine disarmed it and removed its engines before selling it to China.
在试航返回之后，航空母舰将继续进行改装和测试工作。该航母起初是由前苏联建造的，并取名为“瓦良格”，但是在1911年前苏联解体之前未能完成其建造。这艘沿用旧名的航空母舰当时是一个空壳子。乌克兰在将它卖给中国之前，解除了它的装备，并把引擎拆除了。
