口語式短文：觀測日偏蝕

Watch partial solar eclipse :

•  There was a solar eclipse in the past Wednesday morning. My maternal grandma took Shirley, John and me to watch it.

• 剛過去的星期三上午有日蝕現象，阿媽特別帶 Shirley 、 John 和我去觀測。

•  We came to the National Science and Technology Museum, and stood in line to enter the briefing room.

• 我們來到科工館，要排隊進場聽解說。

•  John and I were not interested in this kind of activity. We grumbled with one voice, “There's nothing good to see!”

• 我和 John 對這種活動沒什麼興趣，兩人異口同聲抱怨說：這有什麼好看的？

•  In fact, we would like to go to swimming class. Swimming was much more enjoyable than standing here.

• 我們其實想去上游泳課，去游泳比這個好玩多了。

•  Grandma ridiculed us with patience, “Why the long face!”

• 阿媽很有耐心的調侃我們說：臉這麼臭做什麼？

•  After hearing the briefing, we walked outside to watch the eclipse. The sky had already become dimmer.

• 聽完解說後我們來到戶外實地觀測，天空已經變暗了。

•  I assumed it was because the sun was covered by the clouds. But in fact it was covered by the moon.

• 我以為是太陽被雲遮住的關係，其實是日蝕開始了。

•  We took turns to view the sun through solar eclipse glasses. I saw there was a big bite out of the sun.

• 我們輪流透過日蝕專用眼鏡觀看太陽，我看到太陽缺了一大口。

•  Just now the narrator had told us we could observe only partial solar eclipse here. If there was a total solar eclipse, the bright day would become dark night!

• 剛才解說員說我們這裡只有日偏蝕，如果是日全蝕，白天就會變成晚上呢！
