<h1>Hunter in the Sky<br>天空中的獵人<br><br>Stargazing takes imagination. People who love stargazing see the stars as shining spots in a dot-to-dot drawing game. They imagine lines that connect groups of stars called constellations. A constellation is a group of stars that looks like a person, an animal, or an object.<br><p>觀星需要想象力。熱愛觀星的人們把星星看作是連線游戲里閃閃發(fā)光的點。他們想象出線條，把被稱為“星座”的星群連接起來。星座就是一組看起來像人、動物或物體的星星。</p><br><p>The constellation Orion is known as the hunter, after a hero from ancient Greek myths. To find Orion, first find the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper looks like a huge cup with a long handle. After you find the Big Dipper, turn around. There’s Orion! He is outlined by four bright stars that form two triangles. The tips of the triangles seem to come together. Where they meet, there are three more bright stars. These form Orion’s belt. Some fainter stars appear to hang from the belt. These are Orion’s sword.</p>獵戶座這個星座被稱為“獵人”，名字來源于古希臘神話中的一位英雄。要找到獵戶座，先找到北斗七星。北斗七星看起來像一個帶著長柄的巨大杯子。找到北斗七星后，轉過身，獵戶座就在那里了！它由四顆明亮的星星勾勒而成，這四顆星組成了兩個三角形。三角形的頂點似乎匯聚在一起，交匯點處還有另外三顆亮星，組成了獵戶座的腰帶。一些更暗淡的星星看起來像是從腰帶上垂下來的，那就是獵戶座的佩劍。<br><br>Different kinds of stars are in the constellation Orion. The star Betelgeuse makes Orion’s bright shoulder. Betelgeuse is an Arabic word that means “shoulder of the giant.” The star itself is so huge that it is called a supergiant. Its diameter is 400 times greater than that of our Sun. Betelgeuse is considered as a cool star. It is probably not as hot as our Sun.<br>獵戶座中包含不同種類的恒星。參宿四構成了獵戶座明亮的肩膀。“Betelgeuse”是一個阿拉伯語單詞，意思是“巨人的肩膀”。這顆恒星本身極其巨大，被稱為超巨星，它的直徑是太陽的400倍。參宿四被認為是一顆低溫恒星，它的溫度可能不如太陽高。<br><br>Rigel is the star that makes Orion’s left foot. Rigel is the Arabic word for foot. Rigel is much brighter than Betelgeuse because it is much hotter. It’s more than three times as hot as our Sun. However, Rigel is just a baby in size compared to Betelgeuse.<br>參宿七是構成獵戶座左腳的恒星?！癛igel”在阿拉伯語中意為“腳”。參宿七比參宿四更亮，因為它的溫度高得多，超過了太陽溫度的三倍。不過，和參宿四相比，參宿七在體積上就像個“小不點”。<br><br>A large, misty area near Orion’s sword is called a nebula. It is a mass of shining gas and dust. The gases whirl together and may form new stars. As the new stars begin to shine, Orion will be brighter than ever.<br>獵戶座佩劍附近一片巨大朦朧的區(qū)域被稱為星云。它是由發(fā)光的氣體和塵埃組成的團塊。氣體在其中旋轉匯聚，可能會形成新的恒星。當這些新恒星開始發(fā)光時，獵戶座會比以往任何時候都更加明亮。</h1> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Hunter in the Sky 生詞&短語（共36個，附音標+中文釋義）</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">一、單詞</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">1. stargazing /?stɑ?ɡe?z??/ n. 觀星；仰望星空</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">2. imagination /??m?d???ne??n/ n. 想象力</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">3. shining /??a?n??/ adj. 閃亮的；發(fā)光的</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">4. spot /sp?t/ n. 光點；斑點</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">5. constellation /?k?nst??le??n/ n. 星座</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">6. ancient /?e?n??nt/ adj. 古代的；古老的</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">7. myth /m?θ/ n. 神話；傳說</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">8. dipper /?d?p?(r)/ n. 斗杓；北斗七星</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">9. huge /hju?d?/ adj. 巨大的</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">10. handle /?h?ndl/ n. 把手；柄</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">11. outline /?a?tla?n/ v. 勾勒輪廓</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">12. triangle /?tra???ɡl/ n. 三角形</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">13. tip /t?p/ n. 尖端；頂端</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">14. fainter /?fe?nt?(r)/ adj. 更微弱的；暗淡的</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">15. belt /belt/ n. 腰帶；腰帶</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">16. sword /s??d/ n. 劍</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">17.
