本期主題【龍卷風(fēng)冰雹災(zāi)害】
    Tornado and hailstorm
    Almost 100 people lost their lives and nearly 800 were injured when a tornado and hailstorm hit Jiangsu province last week. Xinhua reported that the tornado struck near Yancheng around 2:30 pm on June 23. It destroyed houses, *flattened trees and *flipped cars. Tornadoes are not common in China, and many victims were caught unaware. The heavy *casualties were partly caused by the lack of underground *bunkers and early warning systems.
    據(jù)新華社報(bào)道,6月23日下午2點(diǎn)30分左右,江蘇省鹽城地區(qū)遭遇龍卷風(fēng)冰雹災(zāi)害,造成近100人遇難,800人受傷。龍卷風(fēng)冰雹摧毀房屋、壓倒樹木、掀翻車輛。龍卷風(fēng)在我國(guó)并不常見,很多受害者都沒有充分的準(zhǔn)備。造成嚴(yán)重人員傷亡的部分原因在于缺乏地下掩體以及早期預(yù)警系統(tǒng)。
    馬上學(xué):“極端天氣”指當(dāng)?shù)爻霈F(xiàn)異常現(xiàn)象,嚴(yán)重脫離平均狀態(tài)的天氣或氣候狀況。例如typhoon臺(tái)風(fēng)和tsunami海嘯等。
