The Long March-7 Y7 carrier rocket blasted off【（火箭）发射】at 9:22pm yesterday from the Wenchang launch site in Hainan Province. After about 10 minutes, Tianzhou-6 separated from the carrier rocket and entered its planned orbit. The solar panels of the cargo craft then unfolded and began working.

5月10日21时22分，长征七号遥七运载火箭在我国文昌航天发射场成功点火发射。大约10分钟后，天舟六号货运飞船与火箭成功分离并进入预定轨道，之后，飞船太阳能帆板顺利展开工作。

“现在我宣布，此次发射取得圆满成功！”

“Now, I declare the launch a complete success!”

At 5:16am today, Tianzhou-6 docked with the space station. It was carrying 1.7 tons of propellant, of which 700 kilograms will be transferred to the station so that there is fuel for its engines to maintain its orbit.

“把后锥段的仪器设备挪到了推进舱，密封空间提升了24%载货比从0.51提升到了0.53这个效能在改进之前，已处于世界领先地位，目前我们的领先优势进一步扩大。”

“We rearranged the equipment in the rear area of the propulsion cabin, so we can fit about 24% more cargo. Our efficiency had already reached world top levels, but now our leading edge is even better.”

The three astronauts onboard the space station will enter the cargo craft and transfer everything tomorrow.

神舟十五号航天员乘组将于5月12日进入天舟六号货运飞船，按计划开展货物转运等相关工作。

A new-generation launch command and display system was used to improve control over operations. It provides real-time information on a rocket's launch status, weather conditions, and logistics【后勤】. The system can also adapt to multiple operating systems.

此次采用新一代航天发射指挥显示系统，提供全面精准信息支撑以提高对操作的控制能力。该系统可以对火箭的发射进程、气象实况以及后勤保障等系统信息一体化综合实时显示，还能适应多种操作系统。

“便宜，蛮好的。总归节约点钱咯。”

“It's cheap, saves me some money.”

Data released today showed that food prices were up 0.4 percent year-on-year in April, but on a monthly basis food prices have been going down for three months in a row. Pork prices, a key element in China's CPI basket, went down by 3.8 percent month-on-month in April. Analysts say that despite the slide in prices, demand is gradually recovering. The core CPI, which deducts food and energy prices, actually went up by 0.1 percent on a monthly level in April.

今天发布的数据（5/11）显示，4月份食品价格同比上涨0.4％，但从月度数据来看，食品价格连续三个月下降。猪肉价格是中国CPI篮子中的一个关键因素，4月份环比下降了3.8％。分析师表示，尽管价格下跌，但需求正在逐渐恢复。扣除食品和能源价格的核心CPI在4月份实际上环比上涨了0.1％。

“可以看到商品消费这一块需求还是偏弱。服务业的CPI是小幅反弹，反弹了0.2个百分点到到正的1.0%。5143因为我们这一轮的消费恢复，确实是有的，但是从结构表现来看，主要在服务方面。”

“Demand for consumer goods was still quite weak. But the price index for the service sector was actually rebounding, up one percent from the previous 0.2 percent decline. So consumption is recovering, but mainly in the service sector.”

Today's data also showed that China's producer price index, which measures costs for goods at the factory gate, went down 3.6 percent year-on-year in April, widening from a 2.5 percent drop in March. On a monthly basis, the PPI was down 0.5 percent.

五月十一日的数据还显示，中国的生产价格指数（PPI，衡量工业企业产品出厂价格变动指数）在4月份同比下降了3.6％，较3月份的下降2.5％有所扩大。从月度数据来看，PPI下降了0.5％。
