壹苹派生活美语　月亮的神秘灰光（一）

　　Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city? It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon. Our Moon goes through phases, and it looks a little different every day. When the whole Moon is lit up, it is called a full moon. When the Moon is entirely dark, we call it a new moon. When there is only a small edge of the circle shining, it is called a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising, we can occasionally see a unique event.

　　你曾在你所在的城镇上空看过月亮升起吗？当月亮位置较低接近地平线时，它会显得非常大。我们的月亮会经历盈亏，每天都看起来有些差异。当整个月亮都被照亮时，称之为满月。当整个月亮都是暗的，我们称之为新月。当只有圆形的一小边缘发光时，它称作眉月或残月。当眉月或残月升起时，我们偶尔可以看见一起特别的事件。
