The moon is going to look pretty spectacular on Nov. 14. Spectacularly big, that is.
11月14日的月亮看起来很壮观。确实非常大。
It's because the full moon will appear as much as 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter that Monday night, making it a supermoon.
这是因为周一晚上的满月看起来比平常大百分之14，亮百分之30，使其成为超级月亮。
A supermoon occurs when a full moon or a new moon is closest to Earth while orbiting it.
当满月或新月最接近地球时就出现超级月亮。
This impressive sight occurs about four to six times each year.
这一令人印象深刻的景象每年大约发生四到六次。
But this month's supermoon is especially notable because it's the closest a full moon has come to Earth in the last 68 years.
但这个月的超级月亮尤其引人注目，因为这是过去68年来满月最接近地球的一次。
And it will be another 18 years before the full moon gets that close again.
等到下次满月如此接近要18年。
The last supermoon of 2016 will occur on Dec. 14 and will coincidentally block the view of the annual Geminid meteor shower.
2016年最后一次超级月亮将出现12月14日，恰巧挡住观看每年的双子座流星雨。
