CNN News:美国东北部遭冻雨袭击 连环车祸频发

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.

欢迎从马丁路德金纪念日回来，这里是CNN学生新闻。今天我们来讲一些历史。首先，美国东北部出现了令人讨厌的暴风雪。康涅狄格州Danberry市长称它为“冰雪特区”。上周末出现了冻雨，使得驾驶非常危险。一些高速公路不得不关闭。

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

宾夕法尼亚受天气影响发生连环车祸，60多辆汽车和卡车相撞。一人在车祸中丧生，30人受伤。

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

这是一系列的撞车事件，更多的混乱还在发生。

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

这场车祸非常恐怖，特别可怕，从早上七点半一直堵车。

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.

还有一些人在交通事故中丧生。从康涅狄格州到缅因州这段路程非常危险，地面结冰，而人们往往看不清结冰的路面。在西海岸同样也发生了连环车祸，俄勒冈84号洲际公路上有数十辆车连环相撞。

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.

这种车祸令人非常吃惊，他的皮卡车头部夹在了两辆拖拉机拖车之间。Keilab Whitby说他只能闭上眼祈祷。Keilab Whitby带着身上的划痕和伤口走了很远的路。

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.

在听到这个故事之后很难相信说2014年是自1880年来最温暖的一年这种说法。
