BBC News: 美國50多萬人因為颶風邁克爾需要撤離

BBC news. Hello, I'm Gareth Barlow.

BBC新聞，大家好，我是加雷斯·巴洛。

Up to half a million people have been urged to evacuate their homes in the southeastern United States in preparation for the arrival of hurricane Michael. Forecasters say the storm has strengthened into a category three hurricane as Gary O'Donoghue reports.

為了應對颶風邁克爾的到來，美國東南部多達50萬人被要求從家中撤離。預報人員稱該風暴已經(jīng)加強為三級颶風，以下是加里奧·多諾霍的報道。

Hurricane Michael is heading straight for Florida's panhandle and forecasters say it will probably make landfall late on Wednesday afternoon. 120,000 people are under mandatory evacuation orders, but local officials believe a far fewer number than that have in fact moved away. Many shops and businesses were closed on Tuesday and gasoline was becoming scarce. While extremely high winds are expected, the main fear is a surge in sea water levels and the damage that could bring to these low lying communities when it comes ashore.

颶風邁克爾現(xiàn)正向佛羅里達的狹長地帶移動，預報人員稱颶風可能將于周三下午晚些時候登陸。12萬人已經(jīng)奉命撤離，但是當?shù)毓賳T認為真正撤離人數(shù)遠沒有那么多。很多商鋪交易已在周二關(guān)閉，汽油也變得緊缺。雖然預計有狂風來襲，但是人們主要擔心的是海平面急劇上升在颶風登陸時會對地勢低的社區(qū)造成破壞。

The International Monetary Fund has warned that there is a real risk of a new and widespread shock to the world economy. In a report issued ahead of the meeting in Indonesia with the World Bank, the IMF said dangerous undercurrents were evident because of the increasing trade tensions and mounting interest rates. Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed has this assessment.

國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)警告稱世界經(jīng)濟將面臨著大規(guī)模沖擊的新風險。在與世界銀行舉行印尼年會前，IMF在一份報告中表示，由于貿(mào)易緊張加劇和利率上漲，暗流洶涌顯而易見。以下我臺經(jīng)濟欄目編輯艾哈·邁德的觀點。

This second sober warning in 24 hours shows just how seriously the IMF is taking the possibility of a sharp reversal of economic fortunes around the world. Yesterday the body downgraded growth forecast for this year and next, blaming increasing trade tensions. Today, in a major report to mark the 10th anniversary of the financial crisis, the IMF said risks were increasing not just around trade disputes, but around a growing complacency that stock markets could only travel in one direction upwards.

在24小時內(nèi)發(fā)布第二次嚴肅警告，這表明了IMF對世界經(jīng)濟命運發(fā)生逆轉(zhuǎn)的可能性的重視。昨天，該機構(gòu)下調(diào)了今年和明年的增長預期，并將其歸咎于日益嚴峻的貿(mào)易緊張局勢。今天，在紀念金融危機10周年的一份重要報告中，IMF稱風險的增加不僅存在于貿(mào)易爭端之中，還在于人們認為股市只會上漲的日益自滿之中。

A new report by a leading medical journal says the majority of countries are failing to address the needs of that more than a billion people worldwide affected by mental health disorders. The study published in the Lancet journal says this failure is exacerbating poverty, social cohesion and economic progress. With more details, our global health correspondent Smitha Mundasad.

一家主要醫(yī)學雜志的一份新報告稱大部分國家都沒能成功處理全球超過10億人的心理健康問題。這份發(fā)表于《柳葉刀》雜志的研究稱這種情況正在惡化貧困狀況、削弱社會凝聚力并阻礙經(jīng)濟發(fā)展。以下是我臺全球健康臺記者史密莎·蒙德賽德的報道。

Researchers say this could cost the global economy some sixteen trillion dollars by 2030. They warned that in many countries, people routinely face abuse or detention for mental health issues, and few get the full support they need. They make several recommendations, including more use of digital innovations to diagnose and help people. The report also suggests more psychological support is delivered in the community by non-specialists such as teachers, religious leaders, and the police.

研究人員表示在2030年前，這會對全球經(jīng)濟造成約16萬億美元的損失。他們警告稱，在很多國家，人們常常面臨心理健康問題的傷害和困擾，很少有人得到所需的全面治療。他們提出了幾點建議，比如更多的使用數(shù)字化技術(shù)革新來診斷并幫助患者。報告還建議教師、宗教領(lǐng)導人以及警察等非專業(yè)人員向社區(qū)提供心理健康支持。
