1. And so, seeing the sun, I got up and put on a dress, a gay dress made out of bright-colored cloth — the same sort of dress that I would wear if I were at home and starting out for a day in the country.
    所以看到了太阳，我就起床，穿上衣裙，那是一套用色彩鲜艳的布料做的华丽服饰——假如我在老家并在准备出发去乡下玩一天的时候，我也会穿同样的衣服。

2. So when the north pole tips towards the sun, the northern half of the world (or the Northern Hemisphere) is warmer and has its summer (June, July and August).
    所以，当北极斜向太阳时，地球的北半部（北半球）就比较温暖，是夏季（六、七、八月）。

3. Something I had always known — the way I knew my skin was the brown color of a nut rubbed repeatedly with a soft cloth, or the way I knew my own name — something I took completely for granted, "the sun is shining, the air is warm" — was not
    某些我一直知道的东西——就象知道自己的皮肤像是用软布反复摩擦后的那种坚果棕色，或者就象知道我自己的名字——某种我完全把它当作理所当然的东西——"阳光灿烂，空气暖和",——居然会并非如此。

4. Predicting the coming of floods men made a calendar, and better calendars were made by observing the sun and the moon and the planets, and this led to the growth of astronomy.
    在预测洪水的过程中，人们编制了历法。通过对太阳、月亮和行星的观察，历法越编越好，天文学便应运而生。

5. Jupiter is one of the sun´s planets.
    木星是太阳的一个行星。

6. You can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky.
    你可以观赏一下展现在你面前的、一望数英里的、连绵不断的云海，同时阳光灿烂，天空清澈明朗。

7. But the sun is shining.
    但阳光灿烂。

8. (If each calendar year were to be several days shorter than the time it takes the earth to go round the sun, the coldest winter days would soon come round in the middle of October in some twenty years!)
    （如果每个日历年都比地球围绕太阳旋转一周所花费的时间少几天，那么二十年后，冬天最冷的几天就会在十月中旬左右出现！）

9. Clouds hung over our air base, but I knew that soon I would be above the clouds, where the sun was shining.
    此时云层正笼罩在我们空军基地的上空，但我知道，很快我将升至云端之上，那里阳光灿烂。

10. Remove the rain cover and let the sun heat the sleeping bag.
    把雨蓬拿开，让太阳把睡袋晒热。
