An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon covers the sun’s center, leaving the sun’s visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire” around the moon. This can happen only twice this century, in 2020 and on June $21^{\text{st}}$, 2039. While people in Taiwan are lucky enough to witness the recent one, it is out of the question to see the latter as Taiwan will not be on the path shaded by the moon. Thanks to mostly sunny skies on June $21^{\text{st}}$ this summer, people across Taiwan flocked to museums, parks and schools for guided solar eclipse watching or simply observed the event from street corners, using protective eye gear. The momentum was especially high in Yunlin, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Nantou, Hualien and Taitung cities and counties, as well as the outlying islands of Penghu and Kinmen, as people there could witness the entire process of the eclipse. In Chiayi, the eclipse started at 2:49 p.m. and ended at 5:25 p.m., with the complete “ring of fire” taking place for less than a minute at 4:14 p.m., when 99 percent of the sun’s surface was blocked. The spectacle of the distinct stages of the eclipse drew crowds from across the country. According to intercity bus operator Kuo-Kuang Motor Transportation Company, passengers to Chiayi on Sunday were about 15 percent higher compared with the previous weekend. In Taipei, where only a partial solar eclipse was visible, around 10,000 people were estimated to have visited the Taipei Astronomical Museum. The last time the museum saw such heavy traffic was in July 2009, when a total solar eclipse took place. According to a museum official, the next time an annular solar eclipse covering such a large percentage of the sun will not be visible in Taiwan until June $28^{\text{th}}$, 2215. If you happen to miss this eclipse, don't despair. Visit our school website and you can watch the eclipse we have uploaded along with lots of information, images, and facts about this and other eclipses.

試著回想一下，當成千上萬的人不惜遠道而來，只為了聚集在某個地方「親眼看見」一個極其罕見且壯觀的自然現象時，我們會如何形容那個「映入眼簾的畫面」或「壯麗的景象」呢？

語境線索與意義對應
在文章第三段中，作者提到「日食不同階段的 spectacle 吸引了全國各地的群眾」，隨後更舉例說明國光客運的乘客數顯著增加。從這些描述中我們可以推論，人們之所以願意長途跋涉，是為了親眼目睹那場罕見且令人驚嘆的「景象」或「奇觀」。選項 (B) Scene 正好對應了這種視覺上的壯麗場面，最符合文章描述日食作為一種天文奇景的特質。
