So, I have control of what we call the penumbra.

我能控制这个我们称之为半影的东西。

The penumbral eclipse is when the moon passes through -- you guessed it -- just the penumbra.

半影月食是指月亮通过地球--你猜对了--半影时的景象。

Sometimes, the moon passes along the edge of the Earth's shadow, a dim area called the penumbra.

有时，月球沿着地球阴影的边缘经过，这片昏暗的区域被称为半影。

The earth's darker inner shadow is known as the umbra, and the lighter outer one is called the penumbra.

地球内部较暗的阴影被称为本影，较浅的外部阴影被称为半影。

But as the Moon moves deeper into the penumbra, it starts to darken.

不过随着月亮更加深入半影区域，它就越来越暗。

In the outer part of that shadow, the penumbra, part of the Sun, is blocked.

而影子外面部分的半影, 被太阳的一部分挡住。

Here's the penumbra, a partially shaded outer region surrounding the umbra, a fully shaded inner part that's darkened.

这是半影区，一个包围了本影区的外部区域，本影区是一个完全黑暗的内部区域。

The wider outer shadow, where the Earth is only partially blocking the sun’s light, is called the penumbra.

范围较广的外部阴影内，地球只能遮挡住部分阳光，这一部分称之为半影。

This region is called the “penumbra” ; “pen” in this case for Latin meaning “almost, ” or “nearly.”

这个区域被称为半影（penumbra）；这里英文中的“pen”的拉丁文意思是“大致”或“几乎”。

After a few moments of scanning the penumbra of the inner mind, we are liable to pick up a few intimations of something.

扫描内心的半影片刻后，我们很容易获得一些暗示。
