You don't have to be an astronomer to know that you're looking at the Moon phases or the Sun in eclipse.

即使你不是天文学家，也能认出这图案代表月相或日食中的太阳。

There were two cameras in case clouds suddenly moved in and blocked the eclipse in one place; that way, there was still a chance to get photos at the other location.

有两个摄像头， 以防云层突然移动并在一个地方挡住日食；那样的话，还有机会在其他地方拍到照片。

The first represented clouds low and livid, rolling over a swollen sea: all the distance was in eclipse; so, too, was the foreground; or rather, the nearest billows, for there was no land.

第一幅代表低沉而青灰色的云彩，翻滚在汹涌的海面上：远处全是日蚀；前景也是如此。或者更确切地说，最近的巨浪，因为没有陆地。

Puffing out their poisonous volumes, they would not be long in hiding it; but, for half an hour, some of the many windows were golden, which showed the Coketown people a sun eternally in eclipse, through a medium of smoked glass.

吐出毒卷，藏匿不久；但是，有半个小时，许多窗户中的一些窗户变成了金色，透过烟熏玻璃的媒介，向焦煤镇的人们展示了一个永恒的日食。
