At 6pm the beach and village began to empty, and those in the know(知情的,了解内幕的) headed up the hill towards the old granite coastguard station on the headland(海岬,陆地向海突出的尖角).
下午6点,海滩和村庄开始变得空旷,知情的人们沿着山坡走向海岬上那座古老的花岗岩海岸警卫站。
“This is the best spot,” said Sennen Cove resident Lisa Redfern, who had built a pinhole camera(针孔相机,无镜头简易相机) for the eclipse out of an old Ryvita Thins(Ryvita薄脆饼干,英国品牌) box.
“这是最佳观测点,”森嫩湾居民丽莎·雷德芬说道。她用一盒旧Ryvita薄脆饼干盒制作了一个针孔相机来观测日食。
As the moon began to hide the sun and Redfern – just about(几乎,差不多) – got her makeshift(临时的,权宜的) device to work, she felt a little emotional.
当月亮开始遮住太阳,雷德芬——勉强——让她的临时装置运作起来时,她感到有些激动。
