Big Moon Rising(II)

Big Moon Rising (ll) I ran inside feeling really excited and nervous. That's when Dad explained it all to me. This happens every 18 years. That's why I had never seen it before. I am only ten. So why did it look so big and bright? Well, the moon is normally 253, 000 miles away from the earth. But on this day, it was 31, 000 miles closer to us!

大月亮升起(二) 跑进去的感觉真是又兴奋又紧张。这时爸爸向我解释了一切。 这种情况每18年发生一次。所以我以前从没见过它。我只有十岁。那为什么它看起来又大又亮呢? 嗯，月球通常距离地球253000英里。但在这一天，它离我们近了31000英里!

Don't worry. It's natural and normal. It will happen again in 18 years. How old will l be then?Wow! I will be twenty-eight years old. But I won't be scared when I see it next time. When you understand why things happen, you are not afraid of them anymore. Keep your eyes open and you will be able to see the big moon too.

别担心。这很自然也很正常。这将在18年后再次发生。那时我多大了?哇!我将二十八岁。但我下次看到它时就不会害怕了。 当你明白事情为什么会发生时，你就不再害怕它们了。保持关注，未来你还会看到大月亮的。
