浙江舟山突现血红天空【吉言英语】

【头条播报】
The unusually crimson sky in early May in Zhoushan, a port city in East China, came from the lights of a fishing boat. China Aquatic Products Zhoushan Marine Fisheries Co, which owns the boat, confirmed this to local media. Many residents of the port city in Zhejiang Province noticed that the sky had suddenly become like a burning torch. Zhoushan was rather cloudy that night with drizzle, making it favorable weather conditions for the unusual wide refraction of the red light, experts explained.
