為什麼不是每個月都有日蝕或月蝕？ (Why Aren't There Eclipses Every Month?)
- When the sun's light is so intercepted by the moon that to any place of the earth the sun appears partly or wholly covered, he is said to undergo an eclipse, though properly speaking, tis only an eclipse of that part of the earth where the moon's shadow falls.
當太陽光被月亮攔截，以至於地球上任何地方的太陽看起來都被部分或全部遮住時，太陽就被稱為 "日食"，儘管正確地說，這只是月影落在地球上的那一部分的日食。
