CNN News:美國東北部遭凍雨襲擊 連環(huán)車禍頻發(fā)

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Back after the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday this is CNN STUDENT NEWS. We`ve got a bit of history coming up. First, though, a nasty ice storm in the U.S. northeast. The mayor of Danberry, Connecticut called it Icezilla. Freezing rain glazed parts of the region over the weekend. It made driving extremely dangerous. Some highways had to be closed.

歡迎從馬丁路德金紀念日回來，這里是CNN學生新聞。今天我們來講一些歷史。首先，美國東北部出現(xiàn)了令人討厭的暴風雪。康涅狄格州Danberry市長稱它為“冰雪特區(qū)”。上周末出現(xiàn)了凍雨，使得駕駛非常危險。一些高速公路不得不關閉。

One pileup in Pennsylvania involved 60 cars and trucks. One person was killed in the wreck and 30 were hurt.

賓夕法尼亞受天氣影響發(fā)生連環(huán)車禍，60多輛汽車和卡車相撞。一人在車禍中喪生，30人受傷。

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was just a big load of cars, lot of mayhem and chaos going on.

這是一系列的撞車事件，更多的混亂還在發(fā)生。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s horrible. It`s horrible, man. I`ve been sitting - since 07:30.

這場車禍非?？植?，特別可怕，從早上七點半一直堵車。

AZUZ: Several other people died in road accidents. Conditions were treacherous from Connecticut to Maine, much of it caused by black ice, when a think often invisible layer freezes over roads. It caused a pileup on the West Coast as well. Involving dozens of vehicles on Interstate 84 in Oregon.

還有一些人在交通事故中喪生。從康涅狄格州到緬因州這段路程非常危險，地面結(jié)冰，而人們往往看不清結(jié)冰的路面。在西海岸同樣也發(fā)生了連環(huán)車禍，俄勒岡84號洲際公路上有數(shù)十輛車連環(huán)相撞。

There was an incredible story of survival, though, as his pickup was crushed between two tractor trailers, Keilab Whitby (ph) said he just closed his eyes and prayed. Whitby walked away from this with only a bruise and some scratches.

這種車禍令人非常吃驚，他的皮卡車頭部夾在了兩輛拖拉機拖車之間。Keilab Whitby說他只能閉上眼祈禱。Keilab Whitby帶著身上的劃痕和傷口走了很遠的路。

After hearing stories like that and remembering the brutal cold of last winter it might be hard to believe that 2014 was the warmest year recorded since 1880.

在聽到這個故事之后很難相信說2014年是自1880年來最溫暖的一年這種說法。
