日全蝕

  

今日仔仔突然說要搬去Ontario ，

心裡奇怪，好端端的為什麼想要搬家？

問個究竟後，

發現原來是因為他在學校得知今天最熱的新聞，

就是Ontario 可以看到日全蝕，

而Vancouver 卻只能看到28%。

看著他拿著電筒和兩個球，

跟我們解釋日蝕如何產生，

還頭頭是道的講解日蝕的種類，

說Full eclipse是最棒、最正的，

心覺敬佩又好笑。

個人十分欣賞阿仔對追求完美的志向，

但孩子呀，我明白100%跟28%確是差距有點大，

在Vancouver 對這次日蝕確實完全無感，

不過為了看個特別自然現象就要搬家，

不是太大費周章嗎？

去個旅行不就可以了～

重點是，

這次已經錯過了，

要等20年才可以再次在北美看日全蝕哦。

Today, my son suddenly expressed his desire to move to Ontario.

I was puzzled—why would he suddenly want to relocate? After asking him more about it, I learned that he had heard the hottest news at school: Ontario would be able to see a total solar eclipse, while Vancouver would only get 28% coverage.

Watching him hold a flashlight and two balls to explain how an eclipse happens, and giving a detailed rundown of the different types of eclipses, I couldn’t help but feel both amused and impressed. He emphasized that a full eclipse is the best and most exciting one to witness.

I truly admire his pursuit of perfection. However, my dear child, I understand that there is a significant difference between 100% coverage and 28%. And I agree—Vancouver didn’t feel much excitement about this eclipse. 🙈 Still, moving just to see a special natural phenomenon might be a bit excessive, don’t you think? Why not just take a trip instead?

The thing is, we already missed the opportunity this time, and it’ll be another 20 years before we can see a total eclipse in North America again. 😅
