天哪!這張飛機上的日全食照片是你拍的嗎? tiānnǎ! zhè zhāng fēijī shàng de rìquánshí zhàopiàn shì nǐ pāi de ma? Gosh! Did you take this photograph of a total solar eclipse on a plane?

B:

是啊,為了讓我們看到日全食,阿拉斯加航空公司延遲起飛了二十五分 鐘。 shì a, wèile ràng wǒmen kàndào rìquánshí, A1lāsījiā hángkōnggōngsī yánchí qǐfēi le èrshíwǔ fēnzhōng。 Yes, in order for us to see the total solar eclipse, Alaska Airlines delayed take off by 25 minutes.

A:

你太幸運了,這次的完美日全食可是三百五十年才會發生一次啊。 nǐ tài xìngyùn le, zhècì de wánměi rìquánshí kěshì sānbǎiwǔshí nián cái huì fāshēng yīcì ā。 You're so lucky, this perfect solar eclipse occurs only once every 350 years.

B:

是啊,這次日全食主要在印度尼西亞,我們航班經過的地區剛好是觀賞 日全食最棒的位置! shì a, zhècì rìquánshí zhǔyào zài Yìndùníxīyà, wǒmen hángbān jīngguò de dìqū gānghǎo shì guānshǎng rìquánshí zuìbàng de wèizhi! Yes, this total solar eclipse was mostly in Indonesia, the area our flight passed through was the best location for viewing the total solar eclipse.

哈,我明年還想到美國再拍一次日全食呢,如果運氣好的話還可以拍到 流星雨,一舉兩得!

hā, wǒ míngnián hái xiǎng dào Měiguó zài pāi yīcì rìquánshí ne, rúguǒ yùnqi hǎo dehuà hái kěyǐ pāi dào liúxīngyǔ, yījǔliǎngdé! Ha, next year I want to go to the United States to film another total solar eclipse, if I'm lucky I might even get a photo of a meteor shower, to catch two birds with one stone.

A:

其實到現在,我還不知道日全食是怎麼來的呢。 qíshí dào xiànzài, wǒ hái bù zhīdào rìquánshí shì zěnme lái de ne。 Actually up to now, I still don't know how a solar eclipse happens.

B:

哦,就是太陽光被月亮全部遮住的天文現象,也叫“天狗食日”。 ò, jiùshì tàiyángguāng bèi yuèliàng quánbù zhēzhù de tiānwén xiànxiàng, yě jiào“ tiāngǒu shí rì”。 Oh, it's an astronomical event when all the sunlight is blocked out by the the moon, it's also referred to as "the heavenly dog eats the sun".

A:

天狗食日,我聽過這個,原來是同一件事! tiāngǒu shí rì, wǒ tīng guò zhè ge, yuánlái shì tóngyī jiàn shì! I've heard about the heavenly dog eats the sun, so it turns out to be the same thing!

B:

沒錯,那時候的人不知道為什麼太陽會突然不見,就認為是天狗把太陽 吃掉了。 méicuò, nà shíhou de rén bù zhīdào wèishénme tàiyáng huì tūrán bùjiàn, jiù rènwéi shì tiāngǒu bǎ tàiyáng chī diào le。 That's right, at that time people didn't know why the sun suddenly disappeared, so they thought that the heavenly dog ate the sun.
