CNN News:冰島發(fā)布預(yù)警稱火山有可能再度噴發(fā)

This is CNN STUDENT NEWS. Ten minutes of current events from around the world. No commercials. I`m Carl Azuz. At the CNN Center. Welcome to the show. First up this Wednesday, a story out of Iceland. Scientists say conditions are getting dicey at the country`s Bardabunga Volcano. It`s the biggest one in Iceland. And there was an increased risk last night that it was about to erupt. How do researchers know? Earthquakes. One of them, the strongest in the region since 1996. They say it looks like there`s a lot of magma movement in the mountain.

這里是CNN學(xué)生新聞，為您播報(bào)十分鐘世界上最近發(fā)生的最新新聞，不包含商業(yè)廣告。我是Carl Azuz,在CNN新聞中心，歡迎收聽我們的節(jié)目。首先這個(gè)周三從冰島傳來的消息?？茖W(xué)家指出在冰島的Bardabunga火山情況越來越危險(xiǎn)。Bardabunga火山是冰島最大的火山。昨晚火山噴發(fā)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)又有上升。研究人員是怎樣知道的呢?地震。其中一次最大的火山噴發(fā)是在1996年。他們說，當(dāng)時(shí)看起來就像山上在進(jìn)行大規(guī)模巖漿運(yùn)動(dòng)。

It`s not located near a highly populated area, but one reason why people are concerned has to do with flight. When a different Icelandic volcano erupted in 2010, the ash-clouded spewed shut down a lot of European airspace. That affected more than 10 million people in the region and cost businesses billions of dollars.

火山所在地點(diǎn)并不是人口密集區(qū)，但是與人們息息相關(guān)的是飛機(jī)航線。當(dāng)2010年冰島另一座火山噴發(fā)的時(shí)候，火山灰彌漫整片天空，導(dǎo)致大片歐洲飛行領(lǐng)域關(guān)閉，該地區(qū)超過1000萬人受到影響，造成經(jīng)濟(jì)損失近十億美元。

A monsoon has brought chaos to South East Asia. This is a wind system that blows into India from the southwest during the summer, and it brings tremendous amounts of rain in June and July. This monsoon season has been particularly bad. The flooding and the landslides it`s caused have killed more than 50 people in India, and more than 100 in neighboring Nepal. Dozens are still missing. The rain has been so intent in some areas that it`s overwhelmed rivers and spilled out through nearby villages and flashfloods. There`s been damage to thousands of homes, tens of thousands of families have had to leave their homes. In some areas, people had to wait for a rescue on rooftops or climb trees to stay above the rising waters.

一場(chǎng)季風(fēng)給東南亞帶去了不小的混亂。這是一種從西南吹向印度的夏季風(fēng)，在六月份和七月份帶來大量降雨。這種季風(fēng)季節(jié)尤為糟糕，引發(fā)的洪水和泥石流已經(jīng)造成印度至少50人死亡，在鄰國尼泊爾則造成至少100人死亡，數(shù)十人仍不知下落。在一些地區(qū)雨水還在繼續(xù)，導(dǎo)致河水上漲溢出淹沒附近村莊，引發(fā)山洪。同時(shí)也毀壞了成千上萬的房屋，成千上萬的居民不得不離開家園。在一些地區(qū)，人們爬到洪水以上的屋頂或者樹上等待救援人員的到來。
