Blue Fins

It's hot. The sun is shining. The sky is blue.
The hot sun is shining in the blue sky.
Jen lives in Australia. Jen and her friends
are not at college today. It is the weekend.

Jen is on the beach.
She's standing on the hot sand.
She's waving to her boyfriend, Rick.
Rick and Jen's friends are in the sea.
They are swimming and surfing.

Rick is very happy. He has a new surfboard.
The surfboard is red and white.

MY LIGHT６

When you turn on lights at night,
they look like stars have fallen down to earth.
Those lights are energy from me, your golden star,
caught and transformed by your earth,
and by yourselves.

For a moment,
my light illuminates your towns and cities.

夜に明かりをつけると、星が地球に落ちたように見えます。
それらの光は、あなたの黄金の星である私からのエネルギーであり、あなたの地球によって、そしてあなた自身によって捕らえられ、変換されます。

一瞬、私の光があなたの町や都市を照らします。

Then, like the starlight from which it came,
fades back into space.

そして、それが来た星の光のように、宇宙にフェードバックします。

MY LIGHT 5

My light falls on solar cells
and charges their electrons.

No turbines, no generators——

electricity streams across the cells,
which pour it into copper wires.

Electricity flows to the building below.

When darkness falls, you turn a switch.
From rushing wind and water,
from burning coal, from silent solar cells,
you let my energy into your room.
Electricity lights the night.

Inside a light bulb,
a wire grows hot.
It glows.

Inside a fluorescent tube,
gas is energized.
It glows.

MY LIGHT 4

　Google翻訳を時々使っていたが、もっと利口な翻訳ソフトを見つけた。と言っても、日記の機能に翻訳機能があったことに最近気づき使ってみたのだが、なかなか使えそうなレベルに思えた。

Other plants die and are buried.
Some were buried millions
and millions of years ago
and turned to coal.
Then my energy stayed
deep underground,
locked inside the coal.

他の植物は死んで埋もれている。いくつかは何百万年も前に埋葬され、石炭に変わった。その後、私のエネルギーは地下深くにとどまり、石炭の中に閉じ込められました。

Crunch! Roar!
Now you humans dig up the coal.
You haul it out and burn it.

クランチ！轟音！

今、あなたたち人間は石炭を掘り起こします。

あなたはそれを運び出して燃やします。

The fire heats water into steam.
Whoosh!
The steam shoots against
giant turbines, which spin
round and round. They send
my energy to generators,
which make electricity.

火は水を蒸気に加熱する。

うわー！

蒸気は、ぐるぐる回転する巨大なタービンに対して撃ちます。

彼らは私のエネルギーを発電機に送り、電気を作ります。

（火は水を蒸気に加熱します。 

うわー！ 蒸気が逆流する 回転する巨大なタービン グルグルと。 

彼らが送ります 発電機への私のエネルギー、 電気を作るもの —— Google翻訳）

From coal-fired power plants,
electricity flows in copper
wires, out to your
towns and cities.

石炭火力発電所から、電気は銅線で、あなたの町や都市に流れます。

MY LIGHT 3

Each day I shine on earth and
warm the air. The warm air rises.
Cooler air pours in and makes the wind.

Swish! Swoosh!
The wind pushes blades
of turbines round and round,
spinning my energy to generators,
which make electricity.

Electricity pours into
copper wires and flows out to
your towns and cities.

Green plants catch my light
and use my energy to help
build leaves and stems.

My energy builds each bush
and flower, reed and cactus,
fruit and tree.
My light fuels all the plants on earth.

some of the plants are eaten.
My energy flows to everything that eats them.

MY LIGHT ２

The water flows from streams to
rivers, carrying my energy
down,
down,
down.

A dam !
You humans stop the flow.
My energy is trapped

　（How do greenhouse gases
　　trap heat from the san?ー例文）

Whish!
some water shoots down
tunnels to giant turbines

Whoosh!
The water spins the turbines
round and round.
It spins my energy to generators
which make electricity.

Now my energy is in the electricity.
It flows away in copper wires .

The wires hum!
Electricity flows
pulsing, pulsing, pulsing
my energy out to your towns
and cities

MY LIGHT

When you see the city lights at night,
they look like stars fallen down to earth.

Those lights ARE starlight - my light.

I am your sun, a golden star,
you see my radiance as light.

Each day I warm your land and water.
Tiny drops of warm water rise and form clouds

The clouds cool down,
My energy falls in rain.
