亿万富翁招募八人共同登月

Japanese fashion mogul Yusaku Maezawa, who first announced his intention in 2018 to take a group of artists with him on a six-day trip around the Moon, said Tuesday that he's inviting the public to apply to fill eight open seats on the mission now slated to take off in 2023.

日本时尚大亨前泽友作, 2018年首次宣布将邀请一群艺术家与他进行为期六天的月球之旅,周二时他说,他邀请公众申请填这八个席位，飞船将在2023年起飞。

Maezawa also said that he's decided to expand his definition of an "artist," which he initially defined as singers, dancers, painters and other traditional creative fields.

前沢友作还表示，他决定扩大他对“艺术家”的定义，最初他将其定义为歌手、舞者、画家和其他传统创意领域。

Now, he's open to including people from all walks of life as long as they view themselves as artists, Maezawa said in a video announcement Tuesday.

周二前泽友在一段视频声明中说，现在，他愿意接纳各行各业的人，只要他们认为自己是艺术家。

Maezawa's invitation to the public to join his Starship mission comes as another billionaire, Shift4 payment platform CEO Jared Isaacman, is searching for a member of the public to join him on a trip to orbit aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

前泽所邀请公众加入他的星际飞船之旅，与此同时，另一位亿万富翁、Shift4支付平台首席执行官贾里德·艾萨克曼正在寻找一名公众成员，与他一起乘坐深空探索公司的“龙”号载人飞船前往轨道。

That mission is slated for later this year and is aimed at raising money for St. Jude Children's Hospital.

这项任务定于今年晚些时候进行，目的是为圣犹大儿童医院筹集资金。

The website for "Dear Moon," Maezawa's name for his space mission, now includes a link where applicants can pre-register through March 14. Initial screenings of the candidates will begin March 21.

前泽友作为其太空任务命名的“亲爱的月亮”网站现在有一个链接，申请人可以在3月14日之前预先注册，对候选人的初步筛选将于3月21日开始。

There will be two main criteria for selection: Applicants should be seeking to "push the envelope" in their field of work by going to space "to help other people and greater society in some way," and they should be willing to support their fellow crew members during the journey.

该项目主要有两个选择标准:申请者应寻求在其工作领域“挑战极限”，通过太空“以某种方式帮助他人和构建更伟大的社会”，而且他们应该愿意在太空之旅中支持他们的同伴。

The eight candidates selected from the public will join Maezawa, who is paying for the trip and says he will take his passengers free of charge, and at least one other person.

从公众中选出的八名候选人将和前泽友作一起参加这次旅行，前泽友作为这次旅行付费，并表示他将免费接待乘客和至少另外一人。

It's not yet clear who will claim the other seats, though Maezawa said last year he was searching for a "life partner"to join him on the journey.

目前还不清楚谁将获得其他席位，尽管前泽友去年表示，他正在寻找一个“终生伴侣”，与他一起踏上征程。

There will be 10 to 12 passengers in total, Maezawa said.

前泽友作说，总共会有10到12名乘客。
