What? A bag in the sky? How did that get there?

It started with two astronauts in space. They were fixing a space station. They wore space suits and worked with special tools. They kept their tools in a tool bag. Then one of the astronauts lost her tool bag.
起因是有兩個太空人穿著太空衣，拿著工具包，修理太空站。但是其中一人沒有抓緊她的工具包。

You know, everything floats in space. The big white bag floated away. The astronaut could not catch it! The bag is floating up there now.
在太空中所有的東西都會飄浮，那個白色大工具包就這樣飄走了。

Another astronaut in space saw the bag. It was floating over Japan. People on Earth can see the bag too. The bag is big and white, so it is very bright.
另一個太空人看到工具包飄過日本，它很大，因為是白色的，所以也很亮，人們從地球上都看得到。

Scientists say the bag will stay up in the sky for a few months. Then it will start falling to Earth.
科學家說這個包包會飄在太空中幾個月才會掉到地球。
