Last year, I had a trip with my friend, Nancy. We enjoyed sandwiches and shared a jar of honey tea over lunch. The weather was cloudy except for one night. Wearing comfortable skirts, Nancy and I camped in the field after dinner. I listened to her playing the guitar, and we felt relaxed. Looking at the stars, we started a hunt for the brightest one. "It's a pity we don't know which stars we're looking at, Jenny," said Nancy. "I know some of them," I answered. Nancy felt surprised when I finally finished telling her all the names I knew.
去年,我和朋友南希去旅行。午餐时,我们吃了三明治,还分享了一罐蜂蜜茶。天气多云,只有一个晚上例外。晚饭后,我和南希穿着舒适的裙子在野外露营。我听她弹吉他,我们都感到很放松。看着满天繁星,我们开始寻找最亮的那一颗。南希说:“珍妮,真可惜我们不知道我们看到的是哪些星星。”我回答道:“我知道其中的一些。”当我终于跟她讲完所有我知道的星星的名字时,她感到很惊讶。
My interest in stars began when I was eight. My aunt Mrs Hill took me to a planetarium. A guide showed us the groups of stars and told us stories about how they got their names. The stories were wonderful. I even saw some X-ray images of the stars there! It felt like standing in front of the gate of knowledge.
我对星星的兴趣始于我八岁那年。我的姨妈希尔夫人带我去了一家天文馆。一位导游向我们展示了星群,并给我们讲了关于它们名字的由来的故事。那些故事很精彩。我甚至在那里看到了一些星星的 X 射线图!那感觉就像站在知识的大门前。
I took a course at the club to learn more about stars. I realised that in addition to clouds, a bright moon also stops us seeing stars clearly. I always look for the Plough, because once I see that, I can find the North Star and other stars.
我在俱乐部参加了一门课程,来进一步了解星星。我意识到,除了云之外,明亮的月亮也会妨碍我们清楚地看到星星。我总会寻找北斗七星,因为一旦我看到它,就能找到北极星和其他星星。
There are so many lights in the city that we have to go into the countryside to see any stars. I'm planning to make videos about stars in the countryside. I'll post them online for everyone to watch. My greatest dream is to be an astronaut and I wish I could have a space travel.
城市里的灯光太多了,以至于我们不得不去乡下才能看到星星。我正在计划拍摄一些乡村星空的视频。我会把它们发布到网上,供大家观看。我最大的梦想是成为一名航天员,并且希望我能有一次太空之旅。
