中秋节刚过，主角自然是人见人爱画家花开充满故事的月亮。
下至三岁孩童，上至八十老母，几乎所有人都知道太阳是sun，月亮是moon。作为一位求知欲很强的新时代好青年，有必要将故事的真相告诉大家。
moon
【牛津字典解释】
1. usually the moon （冠词the 不可少）
also the Moon
[sing.] 月球
the round object that moves around the earth once every 27½ days and shines at night by light reflected from the sun
【柯林斯字典解释】
1
N-SING 月亮;月球
The moon is the object that you can often see in the sky at night. It goes round the Earth once every four weeks, and as it does so its appearance changes from a circle to part of a circle.
所以，the moon，或者the Moon才是月亮。
注意：moon这个词还有一个意思叫作：卫星。
【柯林斯字典解释】
A moon is an object similar to a small planet that travels around a planet.
【牛津字典解释】
a natural satellite that moves around a planet other than the earth.
How many moons does Jupiter have? 木星有多少颗卫星？
注意：satellite 我们背的意思是人造卫星。实际这个词至少有两个含义：1. 卫星；2.人造卫星。
【牛津字典解释 satellite】
1.an electronic device that is sent into space and moves around the earth or another planet. It is used for communicating by radio, television, etc. and for providing information.（人造卫星）
【中文释义】一个电子设备被发送到太空，并且围绕地球或者其他的星球转。它被用来传播无线信号、电视信号并且提供信息。
2. a natural object that moves around a larger natural object in space.（卫星）
【中文释义】一个自然的东西在太空中围绕一个更大的自然的东西在转。
类似的：sun
1
【牛津字典解释】
the sun , the Sun
[sing.] 太阳；日
the star that shines in the sky during the day and gives the earth heat and light
【柯林斯字典解释】
1
N-SING 太阳;日
The sun is the ball of fire in the sky that the Earth goes round, and that gives us heat and light.
所以，the sun 或者 the Sun指的是太阳
注意：sun还有一个意思是恒星。
3
【牛津字典解释】
[C] (technical 术语) 恒星
any star around which planets move
【中文释义】任何一个星星，有其他的行星围绕运行
【柯林斯字典解释】

A sun is any star which has planets going around it.
所以，孩子们，一定要注意定冠词the 的特指（这也是本文的重点哦！）。
the Sun：太阳
the Moon：月亮
the Earth：地球
最后送大家一个《暮光之城》经典台词的唯美的中文翻译：
I love three things in the world: the Sun, the Moon and you.
The sun for the morning, the moon for the night, and you forever.
浮世三千，吾爱有三。
日、月、卿。
日为朝，
月为暮，
卿为朝朝暮暮！
