CNN News:加州火灾蔓延 数千人被迫逃离家园

Welcome to CNN 10. We are kicking off the second week of coverage of our fall season. We know a lot of you are just now getting back into the swing of things. So we thank you for doing that with our show.

欢迎收看CNN 10分钟新闻。我们现在开始第二周秋季报道。我们知道你们很多人现在刚刚开始重新开始工作。所以感谢大家为我们的节目所做的一切。

I'm Carl Azuz. Last week America's Democrats had their time in the spotlight as their party convention was held Monday through Thursday. This week it's the Republican's turn as their event officially gets underway.

我是卡尔·阿祖兹。上个星期，美国民主党在星期一到星期四举行了民主党党代会，成为了公众关注焦点。本周是共和党党代会，他们的活动正式开始了。

Like the one before, it's expected to be a largely virtual convention with social distancing guidelines keeping delegates from having the giant stadium filled blowouts we're used to seeing. A scaled down gathering is still set to take place in Charlotte, North Carolina.

和之前一样，这次大会预计将是一场线上集会，有社交距离的指导原则，防止以前的体育场上爆发场面。但是一场规模缩小的集会仍将在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市举行。

And the convention will allow Republicans to officially nominate incumbent President Donald Trump and incumbent Vice President Mike Pence for a second term in office. Other goals of the event include laying out the party's priorities and drumming up voter support for the November 3rd election.

共和党大会将允许共和党正式提名现任总统唐纳德·特朗普和现任副总统迈克·彭斯连任。这次活动的其他目标还包括制定民主党的优先事项，为11月3日的选举争取选民支持。

Experts say President Trump is hoping the Republican National Convention will have more live programming and audience response than last week's Democratic National Convention. By tradition, the party that holds the White House holds its convention second but there's no tradition associated with a pandemic. Another example on how these are unusual times we're living in.

专家表示，特朗普总统希望共和党党代会比上周的民主党党代会有更多的现场直播和观众反应。按照传统，掌管白宫的政党会第二次召开党代会，但没有与流行病有关的传统。这是我们所处的不同寻常的时代的另一个例子。

Hundreds of wildfires are raging in California. Here's a quick by the numbers look. CAL FIRE, the State Department of Forestry and Fire Protections, says there have been roughly 12.000 lightning strikes in California since August 15th. They've been blamed for starting most if not all of the 615 new wildfires that have flared up in the past week.

数百处野火正在加州肆虐。看一组快速增长的数字。加州火灾，国家林业和消防部门表示，自8月15日以来，加州大约有12000次雷击。过去一周发生的615起森林大火中，大部分都是由自然灾害引发的。

More than one million, one thousand acres have been burned and firefighters are doing everything they can to contain these blazes. This doesn't necessarily mean putting them out. It means keeping them from spreading. That can be done by creating fire breaks, places where vegetation has been cleared out, for example, giving the blazes nothing to burn and nowhere further to go.

100多万英亩的土地被烧毁，消防队员正在尽一切努力控制火势。这并不一定意味着将火扑灭。而是防止大火蔓延。可以通过清除植被建立防火带实现。例如，让大火没有了可燃之地，也没有地方可去。
