The online forums are abuzz(热闹的，充满议论的) as people debate potential cloud cover and trade tips(交换建议，分享心得) on the best viewing points. Hours before wide swathes(大片地区) of Spain were set to experience the country’s first total solar eclipse in more than a century, the excitement was palpable(明显的，可感知的).
在线论坛上热闹非凡，人们讨论着可能的云层覆盖情况，交流最佳观测点的建议。在西班牙大片地区即将迎来一个多世纪以来首次日全食的几个小时前，兴奋之情溢于言表。
“It’s going to be spectacular(壮观的，引人注目的),” said César González, an astronomer and science communicator at the Madrid Planetarium. “A total solar eclipse is one of the best spectacles(奇观，景象) in nature.”
“那将会是壮观的，”马德里天文馆的天文学家兼科学传播者塞萨尔·冈萨雷斯说，“日全食是大自然中最精彩的奇观之一。”
He planned to wake up early on Wednesday and drive north towards the Spanish city of Burgos. “And the first isolated field I find, where I can see the horizon and the sky is clear, that’s where I’ll stay.(我找到的第一片开阔田野，能看见地平线、天空晴朗的地方，就是我要待的地方。) I’ll spend the whole day there waiting,” he said. “There are no words to describe it to another person who has never felt or seen a total solar eclipse.”
他计划周三早起，驱车向北前往西班牙城市布尔戈斯。“我找到的第一片开阔田野，能看见地平线、天空晴朗的地方，就是我要待的地方。我会在那里等一整天，”他说，“对于一个从未感受或目睹过日全食的人来说，这种体验无法用言语形容。”
