The Moon narrated by Marcio Catalano written by John Lockyer

月球 旁白：马西奥·卡塔拉诺 作者：约翰·洛克耶

The moon is far away in space. It is round like a big ball. The moon goes around the earth.

月球在遥远的太空中，圆溜溜的像个大皮球。 月球绕着地球转。

On some nights, we can see the moon in the sky. On some days, we can see the moon in the sky too. We always see the same side of the moon.

有些夜晚，我们能在天上看到月球。有些白天，我们也能在天上看到它哦。 我们永远只能看到月球的同一面。

We can see the moon because the sun lights it up. Sometimes the sun does not light up all of the moon. It only lights up half of the moon or a quarter of the moon. Sometimes it makes the moon look small.

我们能看到月球，是因为太阳照亮了它。 有时候太阳不会把整个月球都照亮。 它只照亮月球的一半，或者四分之一。 有时候它会让月球看起来小小的。

The moon is made of rocks and dust. There are high mountains on the moon. There are holes called craters there, too. The craters were made when big rocks crashed into the moon.

月球是由岩石和尘埃构成的。 月球上有高高的山脉。 那里还有许多被叫做陨石坑的凹洞。 陨石坑是大岩石撞击月球时形成的。

There is no air on the moon. Sometimes it can be very hot there. It can be very cold on the moon too. People, animals, and plants cannot live there.

月球上没有空气，有时候那里会特别热。 月球上也会特别冷，人类、动物和植物都没法在那里生存。
