People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets becau
23、se they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”.

24、s never really blue. This is just an expression.

We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part
25、 of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail when we cannot see the moon at all; it is called a new moon.When we can see the whole moon is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will b
26、e two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”. Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons.
