CNN News: 十年來最強颶風(fēng)“馬修”肆虐加勒比海

A tail of two storms is where we begin today`s edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS. I`m Carl Azuz.

今天CNN學(xué)生新聞的頭條新聞是關(guān)于兩場臺風(fēng)。我是卡爾·阿祖茲。

When we produce today`s show, the Japanese island of Okinawa was getting hit with a super typhoon. It`s name is Chaba. Its maximum sustained winds were about 165 miles per hour. That made it the equivalent of a category five hurricane, the strongest type. Several islands were in Chaba`s expected path, which was expected to turn east near South Korea and roar across the northern Japanese mainland.

當我們在錄制今天節(jié)目時，日本沖繩島遭遇超級臺風(fēng)佳芭。其最大風(fēng)速為165公里/時，這相當于5級颶風(fēng)——最強颶風(fēng)。臺風(fēng)佳芭可能會經(jīng)過數(shù)個島嶼，并可能在韓國南部附近轉(zhuǎn)向日本北部內(nèi)陸。

And in the Caribbean, Hurricane Matthew, a category four storm last night, was expected to brush by Jamaica and hit Haiti overnight before moving over Eastern Cuba. Matthew was traveling slowly, with 140-mile-per-hour winds, the longer it hovers over an island, the more rain it can bring and the bigger its threat of causing flash floods and mudslides.

昨晚，加勒比海，颶風(fēng)馬修，四級風(fēng)暴，在襲擊牙買加以及海地之后，將向古巴東部推進。颶風(fēng)馬修以140公里/時的速度，慢速前行，其在遇害島嶼停留時間越長，就會帶來更多的降雨以及山洪、泥石流等更大的威脅。

Throughout the Caribbean, airports have been closed. Storm shelters open and cruises rerouted to avoid the hurricane.

在加勒比海地區(qū)，機場已經(jīng)關(guān)閉。風(fēng)暴避難所已經(jīng)開放，同時郵輪已改變航線避免遭遇颶風(fēng)侵襲。
