Eclipse
Eclipse
The nation that is supreme above all others during one age, will be eclipsed by another in the next age.
一个时代高于一切的国家,在下一个时代将被另一个时代所超越。
Whenever a total eclipse of the sun was visible in an accessible region parties were sent out to observe it.
每当在可到达的地区看到日全食时,就派人去观察。
The reports of the eclipse parties not only described the scientific observations in great detail, but also the travels and experiences, and were sometimes marked by a piquancy not common in official documents.
日食各方的报告不仅非常详细地描述了科学观测,而且还描述了旅行和经历,有时还带有官方文件中不常见的辛辣味。
Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
国家就像星星一样,有权利被吞噬。一切都很好,只要光明回来,日食不会变成无尽的黑夜。黎明和复活是同义词。光的再现就如同灵魂的生存。
