Paris, France, is just over 40 square miles in area. That`s also about the size of an oil spill that`s spreading in the East China Sea.

法国巴黎的面积只有40多平方英里。大约等于中国东海石油泄漏的面积。

It started when an Iranian oil tanker collided with a freighter from Hong Kong. That happened on January 7. The oil ship caught fire, and stayed afloat, burning, until it exploded and sank a week later on January 14th.

事情起因是1月7日,一艘伊朗油轮与一艘来自香港的货轮相撞。之后这艘油船着火,然后一直持续燃烧在海上漂浮,直至一周后,1月14日爆炸沉默。

Officials believe all of its 34 crew members died in the accident. The tanker was carrying 136,000 tons of condensate oil. It`s a type used to jet fuel and it`s lighter in color than the thick black crude oil that`s been seen in other oil spills.

官员认为,所有34名船上人员都在事故中丧生。这艘油轮装载了136,000吨凝析油,这是一种用于喷气的燃料,颜色比其他石油泄漏所见的浓稠的黑色原油更轻。

But though environmentalists say some of the oil on board the ship probably burn in the fire, their concern that what remained could still hurt marine life in the area, like whales and porpoises. They`re also worried that the fuel that power the ship will leak as well, and that could make things worse. It`s very toxic.

但是,尽管环保人士表示船上的一些石油可能会在火灾中燃烧,但他们仍然担心可能会伤害该地区的海洋生物,比如鲸鱼和江豚。他们还担心,这艘船的燃料也会泄漏,这可能会使情况变得更糟。因为燃料有毒。

The oil slick, China says there are four of them, almost doubled in size this week. Other boats are in this area of the East China Sea, working to clean up the oil and environmental group Greenpeace expects any contamination to stay relatively close to the sunken ship, though winds have pushed the spill east toward Japan.

中国称有4处浮油,本周几乎翻了一倍。其他船只也在中国东海的这片海域,努力清理油污。环保组织绿色和平组织(Greenpeace)预计,污染可能在沉船附近的区域,但风向已将漏油推往东向日本。
