'Fifth Beatle' Sir George Martin dies “第五位披头士”乔治·马丁爵士去世

Millions of people across parts of Asia and the Pacific have been experiencing a rare total solar eclipse. The moon passed directly in front of the sun, blocking direct sunlight, creating a night-time effect. For a time the darkness was total across a strip 150km wide.

亚洲及太平洋部分地区上百万人见证了极其罕见的日全食。月球径直从太阳面前移过，挡住直射光线，造成了部分地区的夜间现象。黑夜曾一度笼罩了总宽为150公里的地区。

The influential British record producer Sir George Martin, often called the 'fifth Beatle', has died at the age of 90. The news was made public in a message posted on social media by Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.
