新加坡 — 牛车水


The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again.

一年一度的中秋节又到了。

This year Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang'E is very busy.

今年的中秋节,嫦娥非常忙。

What exactly is Chang'E busy with?

嫦娥到底在忙什么碗糕呢?

Busy appearing in the newspaper and change faces.

忙着报及变脸。

The makeup artist Chang'E engaged this year must be cuckoo.

嫦娥今年请来的化妆师,应该是头壳进水。

Turned feminine Chang'E into musculine Mulan!

婀娜多姿的嫦娥竟然变阳刚的花木兰!


Before and after face change

变脸前后





The main newspapers are scrambling to report

各大报章争相报道


Perhaps the moon is scared by the face changing Chang'E, this year Mid-Autumn Festival full moon is the smallest of the year.

可能月亮被嫦娥的尊颜吓到缩水,今年的中秋月是今年内最小的满月。

Joke aside, let's know some astronomical facts.

开个玩笑,让我们来了解一些天文知识。

The moon rotates around the earth in an elliptical orbit.

月球是在椭圆轨道上绕地球转动的。

The average distance between the moon and the earth is 384,000 kilometers, so the nearest is 356,000 kilometers and the farthest is 406,000 kilometers.

月球和地球平均距离为38.4万公里,所以最近约35.6万公里,而最远约40.6万公里。

Due to the distance, through the naked eyes, the diameter of the moon can have a difference of one-eighth in size.

由于距离的关系,通过肉眼看月亮大小之分的直径相差为八分之一。

P/S: The English spelling of 嫦娥 is Chang'E, remove the apostrophe and it becomes change; no wonder this year Chang'E needs to change faces! Wathehaha!

注:嫦娥的英文拼写为Chang'E,而英文change的意思为变;难怪今年嫦娥需要变、变、变脸啦!哇的哈哈!
