In this episode of "5 Minutes Chinese," I delve into the captivating topic of solar eclipses, known as 日食 (rì shí) in Chinese. I recently witnessed a partial solar eclipse on April 8th here in the United States, and I share insights into the scientific principle behind these phenomena. While some regions enjoyed a total eclipse, my East Coast location only saw a partial eclipse, called 日偏食 (rì piān shí). Despite this, I share my excitement and attempts to photograph the event. Reflecting on the rarity of eclipses, occurring once every couple of decades, I invite you to share your own eclipse experiences if you have one.

大家好,欢迎收听新一期的5分钟中文!我今天想跟大家聊一下日食。就是solar eclipse。我不知道大家住在是世界上的哪个地方?但是我是住在美国,所以我有机会看日食。


日食是一种自然现象,它产生的原理就是:地球月球太阳这三个在一条线上的时候,月球在地球和太阳的中间,这就会阻挡全部或者部分的太阳光到达地球,这就会导致太阳部分或者完全变暗或者变黑,所以就产生了日食这种现象。


在美国在4月8号有的地方是可以看到日全食的。日就是太阳,全就是完全,食就是食物的食,我跟学生讲,就好像太阳被吃掉了,被食用了。就是日食了。那日全食就是太阳被完全遮挡,太阳被完全吃掉了,那就是全部都黑了。


在4月8号的时候,美国有一条很细长的区域,可以看到日全食。就是说,在它发生的时候就会全被挡住,然后就全都变黑,像夜晚一样。这个区域就是全食带。我知道在美国的,比如德州Texas的一些地方,还有我知道我在芝加哥Chicago的朋友好像也发了日全食的录像。所以如果你正好是在这一条细长的区域上的话,这次是可以看到太阳被完全挡住。


然后我在的地方是美国的东海岸,东南部。所以我们并不是在日全食的这个带上,所以我只能看到一部分—日偏食。偏就不是正中间的意思,就是在一边,不是完全挡住。所以呢,我只能看到一点。我们的天也没有完全变黑。我们日偏食发生的时间是从早上11:00到下午的4:30吧。差不多我放学的时候3:20左右,我出去外面借我同事的眼镜。就是看日食,你不能直接用眼睛看。你要用一个特别的眼镜。透过这个眼镜看才不会伤到眼睛,所以我就借她的眼镜了一下,还是觉得挺神奇的。然后我还尝试用我的手机拍摄日偏食时的样子。所以照了两张照片。但是其实很难找到,就是我的照片的太阳就像一个小的亮点一样。



所以这就是星期一的日全食啦!当然我并没有看到日全食。我看到的是日偏食。但不知道我的听众朋友们,你们都居住在世界或者美国的哪些地方呢?你们有没有去看日全食或者日偏食呢?我知道这是一个很特别的自然现象。因为差不多下次要20年以后才会再看到了。我记得我前几年也有过一次观看日全食日偏食的经历。那个时候也是在学校。转眼间已经过去这么长时间了!我想在20年后,如果我有机会,我可能会专门去看吧。因为我知道这次也有很多人不去上班,也不去上学,专门去到日全食的这个细长的区域去观看日食。我觉得也不错。是一个很特别的经历。人生又有多少个20年呢?


那好了。今天就跟大家聊到这里。不知道你看没看过日食呢?如果你看过日食,你看过的是日全食还是日偏食呢?如果你喜欢这期节目,请帮我订阅点赞分享。让5分钟中文可以帮到更多人学习汉语,感谢您的收听,我们下期再见。
