（单词翻译）

You’re out on a clear, starry1 night with your best friend, looking for shooting stars. Look, there’s one! your friend shouts. But by the time you look, it’s gone. There’s another! she cries. Too late; you missed it. Then one comes along that seems to just amble2 across the sky, nice and slow. Why is it that some shooting stars are so fast and others are much slower? Well, there are a few reasons. Shooting stars are actually small meteors. Meteors are essentially3 icy rocks that come from space and burn up from the friction4 of entering our atmosphere. A very small rock will burn up quickly and be gone almost before you can see it. A larger rock will take a while, and leave a long, bright streak5 in the sky.
