An astronaut is someone who travels and works in a spacecraft — around Earth, or further, toward the Moon. They train for years and do jobs like experiments, repairs, and walking outside the ship. English speakers usually say astronaut for US crews and, in ordinary talk, for space in general. Russia has long said for its own crews; though actually, in everyday English you will not go wrong with astronaut. Children learn the word early. It is a plain modern word — not slang, not stiff. The pieces mean star sailor.
太空人（中國大陸較常說「宇航員」或「航天員」）
