A rare celestial phenomenon appeared in Mongolia, and it looked like there were three suns in the sky. The middle sun was the one we usually see every day, but the ones on either side were the sun’s smaller reflections.

(Sebuah fenomena langit langka muncul di Mongolia, dan itu kelihatannya seperti ada tiga matahari di langit. Matahari yang berada di tengah adalah matahari yang biasanya kita saksikan setiap hari, tetapi yang berada di kedua sisinya adalah pantulan matahari yang lebih kecil.)

A local meteorological centre explained that the optical phenomenon is known as an anthelion, which means that the reflection is caused by sunshine high in the sky and light passing through snow crystals in the air.

(Pusat meteorologi lokal menjelaskan bahwa fenomena optic itu dikenal sebagai anthelia, yang berarti bahwa pantulan itu disebabkan oleh cahaya matahari di langit yang tinggi dan cahaya melintasi kristal salju di udara.)

An anthelion can appear when the temperature is lower than -30°C, and the air is filled with clouds, vapour and ice crystals.

(Anthelia bisa muncul ketika suhu lebih rendah dari -30°C, dan udara terisi awan, uap dan Kristal es.)

Researchers from three Australian universities working on the southern Great Barrier Reef found that male snakes approached divers, coiled around their fins, and struck at camera reflections.

(Peneliti dari tiga universitas Australia yang bertugas di bagian selatan Great Barrier Reef menemukan bahwa ular jantan mendekati para penyelam, bergelung di sekitar kaki katak mereka, dan menyerang refkleksi kamera.)

The large olive sea snakes are especially active in the southern winter during breeding season. Divers are at risk of being bitten by the sexually aroused snakes who mistake the divers for their potential mates. The stakes are very high because the snakes have the capacity to bite humans with a deadly venom.

(Ular laut besar olive aktif khususnya di musim dingin bagian selatan selama musim kawin. Para penyelam beresiko digigit oleh ular yang terangsang dan keliru mengira penyelam adalah pasangannya. Ini sangat beresiko karena ular ini dapat menggigit manusia dengan racun mematikan.)

The olive sea snake is the most common sea snake along the northern coast of Australia. Growing to lengths of over two meters, this species is well adapted to a life on coral reefs. It´s a true snake, and, like all reptiles, it breathes air. However, unlike the sea turtles, crocodiles, and other marine reptiles, which must nest on shore, the snake´s entire life occurs in the ocean.

(Ular laut olive paling adalah ular laut yang paling banyak di sepanjang laut utara Australia. Panjangnya dapat mencapai lebih dari dua meter, seperti semua reptil, ular ini membutuhkan udara untuk bernafas. Namun, tidak seperti kura-kura laut, buaya, dan reptil laut lainnya, yang harus bersarang di pantai, ular ini menghabiskan seluruh hidupnya di laut.)

Kata-kata sulit: aroused (terangsang), the stakes are high (beresiko), venom (racun), reptile (reptil).

An Italian tightrope artist became the first person to high-wire across the Tiber river in Rome, travelling 135 metres over a 20-metre drop. Andrea Loreni, the artist, holds the record in Italy for the longest and highest tightrope walk.

(Seorang seniman tali dari Italia menjadi orang pertama yang menyeberangi sungai Tiber di Roma dengan tali, berjalan di atas tali sepanjang 135 meter dan tinggi 20 meter. Andrea Loreni, sang seniman, memegang rekor meniti tali terpanjang dan tertinggi di Italia.)

The artist said that it was difficult because of external factors like the wind, the rain and the LED light reflections on the water – there was so much input that it risked creating confusion. He coped by choosing one spot and focusing on it.

(Seniman itu berkata bahwa aksinya sulit karena faktor luar seperti angin, hujan dan pantulan cahaya lampu di permukaan air – ada begitu banyak cahaya sehingga berisiko menimbulkan kebingungan. Dia berhasil dengan menentukan satu titik dan fokus kesana.)

Nervous onlookers let out a sigh of relief when Loreni made it through the wind and rain to the other end.

(Para penonton yang gugup bernafas lega setelah Loreni berhasil melewati angin dan hujan dan mencapai ujung tali.)

Kata-kata sulit: high-wire (kabel-tinggi), input (masukan), cope (berhasil).
