Four of the planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye.
其中四颗行星，金星、火星、木星和土星将是肉眼可见的。

Astronomer and planet discoverer Ian Griffin said it was a great time to do some sky watching if you were interested in planets.
天文学家和行星发现者伊恩·格里芬 （Ian Griffin） 表示，如果您对行星感兴趣，现在是观察天空的好时机。

“Because of the way the Earth goes around the Sun and different plants go around the Sun for a short period of time over the next few weeks, you’ve got a whole bunch of naked eye planets on display,” he said.

“由于地球绕太阳公转的方式，以及未来几周不同的行星绕太阳公转一小段时间，你会看到一大堆肉眼可见的行星，”他说。

“Starting in the west this evening if you go out about an hour after sunset you’ll see Venus blazing away above the horizon and then just above Venus you can see Saturn, a little bit fainter and whitish, and then in the northern sky you’ve got Jupiter which is incredibly bright at the moment and then rising in the north-east you’ve got fiery red Mars which is at its closest to us over the next few weeks.”
“从今天晚上从西方开始，如果你在日落后大约一个小时出门，你会看到金星在地平线上方炽热地消失，然后在金星上方，你可以看到土星，稍微暗淡一点，发白一点，然后在北方的天空中，你会看到木星，它目前非常明亮，然后在东北方向升起，你会看到火红色的火星，最近几周它离我们最近。

To top it all off, towards the end of the week there should be a comet that can be seen with the naked eye in the south-west, he said.
他说，最重要的是，本周末在西南方应该有一颗可以用肉眼看到的彗星。

The view of the comet was likely to be even better next week, he said.
他说，下周这颗彗星的视野可能会更好。

“Seeing a naked eye comet is quite a rare thing, there’s been a few over the last few years but astronomers have got really high hopes for this one.
“肉眼看到彗星是一件非常罕见的事情，过去几年里有几次，但天文学家对这颗彗星寄予了很高的期望。

“Hopefully towards the end of the week, early next week, in the south-western sky about an hour after sunset you’ll see this kind of white streak of light in the sky and that’s the comet tail and this comet is on its first visit to our part of the solar system and the next time it comes round will be about half a million years time – so if you want to see this comet now is a really good time to do it.”
“希望在本周末，下周初，日落后大约一个小时，在西南天空中，你会在天空中看到这种白色的光条，这就是彗尾，这颗彗星是第一次访问我们这部分太阳系，下一次出现时将大约是五十万年以后——所以如果你现在想看到这颗彗星现在是这样做的好时机。

It was a great time to go out and do some astronomy with so much on view, he said.
他说，这是出去做一些天文研究的好时机，可以看到这么多东西。

Provided the sky was clear all of the planets should be on display from throughout New Zealand, he said.
他说，只要天空晴朗，新西兰各地的所有行星都会出现。

“All you need is a Mark 1 eyeball, a deck chair and a really good view of the horizon.”
“你所需要的只是一个 Mark 1 眼球、一张躺椅和一个非常好的地平线视野。”

Although the planets would be able to be seen with the naked eye, binoculars would allow you to see greater detail, he said.
他说，虽然这些行星可以用肉眼看到，但双筒望远镜可以让你看到更多的细节。
