meteor shower/ 流星雨/ (liúxīnɡyǔ)  

A: Have you ever seen a real life meteor shower? I saw the news say that there will be a lot more meteor showers in July and August.   

你有见过真正的流星雨吗?我看新闻说7,8月的流星雨格外的多。

(nǐyǒu jiànɡuò zhēnzhènɡde liúxīnɡyǔma? wǒkàn xīnwénshuō qī bāyuède liúxīnɡyǔ ɡéwàide duō.) 

B: I still haven't seen one with my own eyes. I really want to see a meteor shower for myself! I also say news that said on August 12 there is going to be a Perseus meteor shower, which only comes once every four years. 

我到现在也没亲眼见过,好想亲眼看一场身临其境的流星雨啊!我也看到新闻了,说是8月12号会有一场时隔4年的英仙座流星雨。

(wǒdào xiànzài yěméi qīnyǎn jiànɡuò, hǎoxiǎnɡ qīnyǎn kànyīchǎnɡ shēnlínqíjìnɡde liúxīnɡyǔa. wǒyě kàndào xīnwénle, shuōshìbāyuè shíèrhào huìyǒu yīchǎnɡ shíɡé sìniánde yīnɡxiānzuò liúxīnɡyǔ.)

A: Really? I heard that you don't need a telescope for a meteor show since you can see them with the naked eye. But you can't see it in the city because the light pollution is too serious. You have to go to the suburbs.  

是吗?据说看流星雨是不用带望远镜的,用肉眼就能看到。而且在市区是看不到的,光污染太严重,需要在郊区才可以。

(shìma? jùshuō kànliúxīnɡyǔ shìbùyònɡ dài wànɡyuǎnjìnɡde, yònɡròuyǎn jiùnénɡ kàndào. érqiě zàishìqū shìkànbùdàode, ɡuānɡwūrǎn tàiyánzhònɡ, xūyào zàijiāoqū cáikěyǐ.)

B: I have a friend who saw one while camping on a mountaintop. She said it was especially beautiful, like the entire Milky Way Galaxy was surrounding her and her husband. I really envy her. 

我有朋友在山上野营的时候见过,她说特别美,感觉整个银河系都在包围着她和她老公。真羡慕她。

(wǒyǒu pénɡyǒu zài shānshànɡyěyínɡde shíhòu jiànɡuò, tāshuō tèbié měi, ɡǎnjué zhěnɡɡè yínhéxì dōuzài bāowéizhe tāhé tālǎoɡōnɡ. zhēn xiànmùtā.)
