Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones(时区),one hour apart(一个时区相差一个小时).You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours,and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋),your ship enters a different time zone every day.As you enter each zone,the time changes one hour.Traveling west,you set your clock back,traveling east,you set it ahead.Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific Ocean(太平洋),you cross the International Date Line(国际日期变更线).By agreement,this is the point where a new day begins.When you cross the line,This is the point where a new day begins.When you go across the line,you change your calendar one full day,back or ahead.Isn't it interesting?
当你旅行时会发生奇怪的事情,因为地球被划分成24个时区,一个时区相差一个小时.你会拥有多于或少于24小时的一天,多于或少于7天的一个星期.
如果你在大西洋旅行5天,你的船每天都会进入不同的时区.当你进入各个时区,时间都会调整一小时.当你向西前行,你要将你的时间往回调,向东前行,你往前调.你旅行中的每一天都会拥有25小时或者23小时.
如果你乘船在太平洋旅行,你将越过国际日期变更线.根据协议,国际日期变更线是新的一天开始的地方.当你越过这条线,这一点是新的一天开始的地方.当你越过这条线,你要将你的日历向前或向后翻一整天.有趣吧?
