CNN News:数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.

希望大家能够这周有个很好的开始。

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学生新闻的首条新闻说的是海难。上周时候数百名乘船从利比亚出发前往欧洲。在周六晚上一只救援船只接近的时候发出求救信号，船上移民挤到船的一侧导致船只翻船。

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

意大利海岸警卫队官员表示他们已经发现了一些幸存者，但是恐怕有数百人已经死亡。

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.

今年发生了一系列类似的灾难事件。数千名非法移民被救。数百名非法移民在搭乘不安全船只经过地中海海域时死亡。

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.

一些人希望能在欧洲过上好日子。一些人希望逃离利比亚或者类似其他国家的暴乱和动荡。一些人被贩卖去做奴隶。

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

欧洲领导人召开紧急会议，增加巡逻船来解决这一问题。
