当你想象宇航员们在太空中吃饭的场景时，你的脑海中可能不会浮现出像龙虾、鳕鱼和鹅肝这类美食的画面，但是这些正是法国下一位国际空间站（ International Space Station ）访客将要享用的佳肴。

Most of the food on the space station is standard packaged fare, full of goodness, no doubt, but lacking that culinary je ne sais quoi which any self-respecting French astronaut so badly needs. But astronauts can bring with them a certain quantity of their own food.

国际空间站上的大部分食物都是标准的预包装食品，毫无疑问，营养丰富，但是缺少那种让人回味无穷的美食风味，这是任何一位体面的法国宇航员都迫切需要的。不过，宇航员们可以携带一定数量的自备食物。

And so, Sophie Adenot has teamed up with the multi-Michelin-starred Anne-Sophie Pic to draw up a list of items to help her through those long, dawnless days in weight-free orbit.

因此，宇航员索菲·阿德诺特与多次获得米其林星级的名厨安妮·索菲·皮克联手，精心制定了一份美食菜单，来帮助她自己度过那些在失重的太空轨道中漫长而无晨昏的日子。

One day over the Atlantic, it could be chicken with Malagasy wild pepper, tonka beans and a creamy polenta. The next day, over the Pacific, pulled beef with black garlic and smoked vanilla. And for dessert – how about a chocolate cream with crushed hazelnut?

也许在某天飞越大西洋时，她的餐盘里是鸡肉配马达加斯加野胡椒、零陵香豆和奶油玉米糊。在第二天，飞越太平洋时，可能吃的就是黑蒜熏香草手撕牛肉。至于甜点的话，来一份榛子碎巧克力奶油蛋糕怎么样？

Sophie Adenot says she will share the haute cuisine with her colleagues on board. It is, after all, an important moment. French gastronomic culture becoming, for the first time, extraterrestrial.

索菲·阿德诺特表示，她会将这些高级菜肴与空间站上的同事们一同分享。毕竟，这是一个重要的时刻，法国的美食文化首次 “走出地球”。
