Indonesia's three minutes of darkness 印度尼西亞見證三分鐘日全食

'Fifth Beatle' Sir George Martin dies “第五位披頭士”喬治·馬丁爵士去世

文字稿

Millions of people across parts of Asia and the Pacific have been experiencing a rare total solar eclipse. The moon passed directly in front of the sun, blocking direct sunlight, creating a night-time effect. For a time the darkness was total across a strip 150km wide.

亞洲及太平洋部分地區上百萬人見證了極其罕見的日全食。月球徑直從太陽面前移過，擋住直射光線，造成了部分地區的夜間現象。黑夜曾一度籠罩了總寬為150公里的地區。

The influential British record producer Sir George Martin, often called the 'fifth Beatle', has died at the age of 90. The news was made public in a message posted on social media by Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. Sir George produced most of The Beatles' hit singles and his accomplishments extended beyond the famous four-piece with which he was so closely associated.

被人稱為“披頭士第五人”、英國極具聲望的唱片制作人喬治·馬丁爵士去世，享年90歲。該消息由披頭士樂隊鼓手林戈·斯塔爾在社交媒體上公布。披頭士樂隊的眾多暢銷單曲都是由喬治爵士制作的，而他的成就也遠不止于和披頭士四人組的密切合作。
