What Makes a Shadow

What Makes a Shadow?

影子是怎样形成的

The sun is shining. It shines on the trees andthe sidewalk. It shines on your house. It shines on you, too.

太阳公公出来喽!阳光照耀着树木和人行道，照耀着你家，也照耀着你。

When the sun is in front of you, look behind you. You cansee your shadow. When you move, your shadow moves. When you run, your shadow runs. But you can never catch it.

当太阳在你前方时，回头看看，你的影子就在身后呢!你一动，影子就跟着动;你一跑，影子就会跟着跑。 不过，你却怎么也抓不到它。

What makes the shadow? Where does it come from?The sun is very bright. It shines on the house. It shineson the trees. It shines on you. But the sun does not shinethrough you. There is a dark place behind you where the sun doesnot shine. The darkness is your shadow.

为什么会有影子?影子又是从哪里来的呢? 阳光非常强烈，它照耀着房子，照耀着树木，也照耀着你，却没办法穿透你。 在你身后，有一块黑黑的、阳光照不到的地方，这个阴影就是你的影子。

Look for more shadows. A tree has a shadow. The shade of the tree is theshadow of the tree. A house has a shadow. The sun shines on one side of the house. There is ashadow on the other side.

找找看，还有哪些影子。树木有影子。树荫就是它的影子。 房子有影子。当阳光照在房子的一边，影子就会出现在另一边。

Animals have shadows. So do cars.

动物有影子。汽车有影子。
