CNN News: 烧了210天!澳大利亚新州这场大火终被熄灭

 
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，我是卡尔·阿祖兹。很高兴的告诉大家我上周五参加了一个活动，这太棒了。非常感谢您让CNN 10成为您周五节目的一部分。我们的国际报道从澳大利亚开始，那里有一些好消息，一些坏消息，然后还有更多的好消息。

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. 
 
我解释一下。新南威尔士州是澳大利亚东南部的一个州。我们今年早些时候报道过，尽管澳大利亚的每个州都受到了影响，但这里遭受的火灾最为严重。现在是夏天，这个国家通常会经历火灾季节，但这次因为持续的干旱而变得更糟。

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.
 
数千万英亩土地被烧毁。至少28人死亡。大约3000座房屋被毁，数百万甚至数亿只动物受到影响。有什么好消息呢？好吧，在新南威尔士州，火灾终于要结束了。
 
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. 

消防官员表示，所有的野火都得到了控制，虽然还有一些仍在燃烧，但火势已经控制，并阻止了蔓延。消防队员表示，到目前为止，这真是让令人痛苦、疲惫和焦虑的丛林火灾季节，但火势得到控制将使紧急救援人员现在能够集中精力帮助人们重建家园。

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.
 
还有一则坏消息。最近，一股热带气旋沿新南威尔士州海岸移动。导致破坏性风以及危险的海浪，并引发了严重的洪水。暴风雨导致几个城镇的居民撤离。该地区许多学校停课，天气预报称未来几天将有严重的雷雨天气。
 
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. 
 
但飓风的好处是，自上周五以来，它已经帮助扑灭了30多处火灾。新南威尔士州农村消防局称这是他们一段时间以来听到的最好的消息。
