CNN News:數(shù)百名非法移民溺亡地中海海域

大家好，我是Carl Azuz。

Hope your week is off to a good start.

希望大家能夠這周有個很好的開始。

First up today on CNN STUDENT NEWS, tragedy at sea. Last week, hundreds of people boarded a boat from Libya headed to Europe. It sent out an SOS on Saturday night and as a rescue ship approached, the migrants moved toward it, crowding one side of their own boat, causing it to capsize in frigid waters.

首先今天CNN學生新聞的首條新聞說的是海難。上周時候數(shù)百名乘船從利比亞出發(fā)前往歐洲。在周六晚上一只救援船只接近的時候發(fā)出求救信號，船上移民擠到船的一側導致船只翻船。

Italian Coast Guard officials say they`ve recovered some survivors, but hundreds of people are feared dead.

意大利海岸警衛(wèi)隊官員表示他們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些幸存者，但是恐怕有數(shù)百人已經(jīng)死亡。

This years, there`s been a series of disasters like this. Thousands of migrants h been rescued. Hundreds have died in dangerous Mediterranean crossings on unsafe ships.

今年發(fā)生了一系列類似的災難事件。數(shù)千名非法移民被救。數(shù)百名非法移民在搭乘不安全船只經(jīng)過地中海海域時死亡。

Some are looking for a better life in Europe. Some are running from violence and instability in countries like Libya. Some are being trafficked as slaves.

一些人希望能在歐洲過上好日子。一些人希望逃離利比亞或者類似其他國家的暴亂和動蕩。一些人被販賣去做奴隸。

European leaders are holding emergency meetings and increasing the number of patrol ships to address the problem.

歐洲領導人召開緊急會議，增加巡邏船來解決這一問題。
