CNN News: 十年来最强飓风“马修”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学生新闻的头条新闻是关于两场台风。我是卡尔·阿祖兹。

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.

当我们在录制今天节目时，日本冲绳岛遭遇超级台风佳芭。其最大风速为165公里/时，这相当于5级飓风——最强飓风。台风佳芭可能会经过数个岛屿，并可能在韩国南部附近转向日本北部内陆。

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，飓风马修，四级风暴，在袭击牙买加以及海地之后，将向古巴东部推进。飓风马修以140公里/时的速度，慢速前行，其在遇害岛屿停留时间越长，就会带来更多的降雨以及山洪、泥石流等更大的威胁。

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

在加勒比海地区，机场已经关闭。风暴避难所已经开放，同时邮轮已改变航线避免遭遇飓风侵袭。
