CNN News: 燒了210天!澳大利亞新州這場大火終被熄滅

 
Hi, I'm Carl Azuz. I was just at a Friday last week and I'm happy to report, it's awesome. Thank you so much for making CNN 10 part of your Friday. Our international coverage starts in Australia where there's been some good news then some bad news, then more good news. 
 
大家好，我是卡爾·阿祖茲。很高興的告訴大家我上周五參加了一個活動，這太棒了。非常感謝您讓CNN 10成為您周五節(jié)目的一部分。我們的國際報道從澳大利亞開始，那里有一些好消息，一些壞消息，然后還有更多的好消息。

Let me explain. New South Wales is a state in southeastern Australia. It was the hardest hit state by the bush fires we reported on earlier this year though every Australia state's been effected by them. It's summer there now and the country typically sees a fire season but this one was made worse by an ongoing drought. 
 
我解釋一下。新南威爾士州是澳大利亞東南部的一個州。我們今年早些時候報道過，盡管澳大利亞的每個州都受到了影響，但這里遭受的火災(zāi)最為嚴重?，F(xiàn)在是夏天，這個國家通常會經(jīng)歷火災(zāi)季節(jié)，但這次因為持續(xù)的干旱而變得更糟。

Tens of millions of acres burned. At least 28 people have been killed. About 3,000 homes have been destroyed and millions possibly hundreds of millions of animals have been effected. So what's good in all that? Well in New South Wales it could be coming to an end.
 
數(shù)千萬英畝土地被燒毀。至少28人死亡。大約3000座房屋被毀，數(shù)百萬甚至數(shù)億只動物受到影響。有什么好消息呢？好吧，在新南威爾士州，火災(zāi)終于要結(jié)束了。
 
Fire officials say all of the wildfires there have been contained meaning some are still burning but they've all been surrounded and stopped from spreading. Firefighters say it's been a traumatic, exhausting and anxious bush fire season so far but that the containment of the blazes will allow emergency workers to now focus on helping people rebuild. 

消防官員表示，所有的野火都得到了控制，雖然還有一些仍在燃燒，但火勢已經(jīng)控制，并阻止了蔓延。消防隊員表示，到目前為止，這真是讓令人痛苦、疲憊和焦慮的叢林火災(zāi)季節(jié)，但火勢得到控制將使緊急救援人員現(xiàn)在能夠集中精力幫助人們重建家園。

OK, more bad news. A tropical cyclone recently rolled along the coast of New South Wales. It brought damaging winds, dangerous waves and it caused major flooding. The storms heavy rains led to the evacuation of several towns. Many schools in the region closed and there are severe thunderstorms in the forecast for the days ahead.
 
還有一則壞消息。最近，一股熱帶氣旋沿新南威爾士州海岸移動。導(dǎo)致破壞性風(fēng)以及危險的海浪，并引發(fā)了嚴重的洪水。暴風(fēng)雨導(dǎo)致幾個城鎮(zhèn)的居民撤離。該地區(qū)許多學(xué)校停課，天氣預(yù)報稱未來幾天將有嚴重的雷雨天氣。
 
But the good thing about the cyclone, which is what hurricanes are called in the south Pacific, is that it's helped put out more than 30 fires since last Friday. The New South Wales Rural Fire Service called that the most positive news they've had in some time. 
 
但颶風(fēng)的好處是，自上周五以來，它已經(jīng)幫助撲滅了30多處火災(zāi)。新南威爾士州農(nóng)村消防局稱這是他們一段時間以來聽到的最好的消息。
