双语新闻：10月14日美洲将出现日环食，你知道什么是日环食吗
10月14日，美洲数百万人将看到日食。
Weather permitting, viewers will be able to see the moon as it is passing in front of the sun during the eclipse. The astronomical event can be seen in parts of the United States, Mexico, and several countries in Central America and South America.
如果天气允许，观众将能够在日食期间看到月亮从太阳面前经过。在美国、墨西哥以及中美洲和南美洲的几个国家的部分地区都可以看到这一天文事件。
What is an annular solar eclipse?
什么是日环食？
A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. The moon blocks the view of some or all of the sun's face as it passes in front of the sun.
当月亮从地球和太阳之间经过时，就会发生日食。当月亮从太阳前面经过时，它会挡住太阳的部分或全部视线。
The one that will happen on October 14 is called an "annular solar eclipse." This happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun at a time when the moon is at or close to its farthest point from our planet.
将于10月14日发生的日食被称为“日环食”。当月球位于或接近地球最远点时，月亮从地球和太阳之间经过时，就会发生这种情况。
Because the moon is farther than usual from Earth during an annular solar eclipse, the moon will not completely cover the sun like a "total eclipse."
因为在日环食期间，月球比平时离地球更远，所以月球不会像“日全食”那样完全覆盖太阳。
It will instead look like a dark circle on top of the sun's larger, bright face in the sky. As a result, the eclipse will momentarily look like a "ring of fire" surrounding the dark circle of the moon. A total eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024. It will pass over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
相反，它看起来就像是太阳在天空中更大、明亮的脸上的一个黑圆圈。因此，日食将暂时看起来像一个围绕着月球暗圈的“火环”。日全食将发生在2024年4月8日。它将经过墨西哥、美国和加拿大。
Where can it be seen?
在哪里可以看到它？
The U.S. space agency NASA says the path in the United States where the maximum amount of sun will be covered runs through several states beginning at 16:13 GMT. It will start in the state of Oregon, and then pass through California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
美国国家航空航天局表示，从格林尼治标准时间16:13开始，美国最大太阳覆盖量的路径将穿过几个州。它将从俄勒冈州开始，然后经过加利福尼亚州、内华达州、犹他州、亚利桑那州、新墨西哥州和得克萨斯州。
The path then crosses over parts of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, and Brazil before ending at sunset in the Atlantic Ocean.
然后，这条路径穿过墨西哥、危地马拉、伯利兹、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、巴拿马、哥伦比亚和巴西的部分地区，最后在大西洋日落时结束。
People in much larger parts of North America, Central America, and South America will be able to see less of the sun covered, but it is still something to witness.
北美洲、中美洲和南美洲更大地区的人们将能够看到更少的阳光，但这仍然是值得见证的。
What is the safest way to watch an eclipse?
观看日食最安全的方式是什么？
Experts warn that it is unsafe to look directly at the bright sun without using specialized eye protection designed for seeing the sun. Eyes can become damaged when looking at the sun without protection.
专家警告说，如果不使用专门为看太阳而设计的护目镜，直视明亮的太阳是不安全的。在没有防护的情况下看太阳会损坏眼睛。
Because the sun is never fully blocked by the moon in an annular solar eclipse, it is never safe to look directly at it without such eye protection.
因为在日环食中，太阳永远不会被月亮完全遮挡，所以如果没有这样的眼睛保护，直视太阳是不安全的。
Viewing it through a camera, binoculars, or telescope, without making use of a special filter for the sun can cause severe eye injury, experts say.
专家表示，通过相机、双筒望远镜或望远镜观察太阳，如果不使用特殊的太阳滤镜，可能会导致严重的眼睛损伤。
They advise using safe viewing glasses for the sun or a safe handheld viewer for the sun at all times during an annular solar eclipse. They note that regular sunglasses are not safe for viewing the sun.
他们建议在日环食期间始终使用安全的太阳观察眼镜或安全的手持太阳观察仪。他们注意到，普通的太阳镜在看太阳时是不安全的。
