Death toll rises after Taiwan 6.2 quake
臺灣發生6.2級地震 死亡人數還在上升
The death toll of a 6.2 magnitude earthquake on the island of Taiwan rises to at least three as of Monday. Closed circuit television footage broadcast on local media showed visitors running out of buildings as the earthquake hit. The Sunday quake damaged roads and infrastructure, and three provincial highways were severely blocked. Significant damage was also done to this traditional tea house in the city of Nantou. The quake struck almost 40 kilometers southeast of T'ai-chung city. It also rattled the island's capital of Taipei. Taiwan sits near the so-called ring of fire region of seismic activity around the Pacific Ocean.
周一臺灣發生6.2級地震，死亡人數至少上升至3人。當地媒體播放了地震來襲時，閉路電視記錄人們逃出建筑時的畫面。周日的地震已造成道路和基礎設施損壞，三個省級高速公路嚴重阻塞。南投市這家傳統茶館也遭到嚴重破壞。地震發生在臺中市東南約40公里處，同樣引發省會臺北市的恐慌。臺灣位于環太平洋火山地震活動帶附近。
Record floods hit parts of Europe
歐洲國部分家遭歷史性特大洪水
Onlookers gather at a vista point overlooking the record flooding in the German city of Passau. The Danube's water level reached a record high of 12.2 metres there on Monday, last seen in the 16th century. Most if not all of the city's streets are underwater, with rescue workers making their way through town by motorboat. Authorities have declared a state of emergency for the region.
在德國城市帕紹一觀景點，人們圍在一起遠眺歷史性的特大洪水。周一，多瑙河的水位達到創紀錄的12.2米高，之前是在16世紀發生過。城市的大部分街道被水淹沒，救援人員駕駛摩托艇在城鎮通行。當局已宣布該地區進入緊急狀態。
Meanwhile, the worst floods to hit the Czech Republic in a decade have disrupted public transport and forced school closures. And there is no end in sight to the rising water levels on the Vltava River that cuts through Prague's historic centre. The subway network was also halted for the first time since massive floods submerged the city in 2002 and caused billions of dollars of damage. Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas declared a state of emergency for most of the nation on Sunday and pledged over $15 million dollars in relief efforts.
與此同時，捷克共和國也遭遇十年間最嚴重的洪水，公共交通被擾亂，學校強制關閉。穿過布拉格歷史中心的伏爾塔瓦河，正在上升的水位仍沒有停止的跡象。自2002年巨大洪水淹沒該城市并導致數十億美元損失以來，地鐵網絡也是首次停止。周日，捷克總理內卡斯宣布國家大部分地區進入緊急狀態，并承諾超過1500萬美元的救助。
Death toll rises in Chinese poultry slaughterhouse fire
吉林禽業公司爆炸引發火災 死亡人數還在上升
Firefighters rush to the scene when a poultry slaughterhouse erupts in flames in northeast China. The death toll from the blaze has now been raised to at least 119. The President has called for an investigation. Local police say a gas leak may have caused the explosion. Many were trapped behind locked doors but some managed to escape.
中國東北部一家禽屠宰場發生火災，消防人員迅速趕往現場。目前大火至少已造成119人死亡。國家主席要求對事件展開調查。當地警方稱氣體泄漏可能是爆炸造成的原因。房門被鎖，許多人被困在里面，但還有一些設法逃了出來。
UNIDENTIFIED EMPLOYEE AT SLAUGHTERHOUSE, SAYING: "It was so fast, we first saw a flash, then a big "bang". We knew it was bad, so then we all ran. We didn't know what happened, we didn't know it was an explosion." China state broadcaster CCTV shows authorities trying to cope with the disaster. More than 300 workers were in the plant at the time.Authorities say at least 60 people have been taken to the hospital. The exact number of people unaccounted is still unclear. China's record on fire safety has come under increased scrutiny. Fire exits in factories are often locked or blocked and regulations can be easily skirted by bribing officials.
家禽屠宰場不明身份的員工說：“太快了，開始我們看到一道閃光，然后“砰”的一聲。我們知道情況不妙，所以都往外跑。我們不知道發生了什么，也不知道是爆炸?！敝袊醒腚娨暸_報道稱當局正在試圖應對災難。爆炸發生時工廠里有300多名工人。當局稱至少有60人被送往醫院。目前失蹤人員的數量尚不清楚。中國已經加強對消防安全的審查，但工廠的消防出口經常被封鎖或阻塞，并且通過賄賂官員就可以輕而易舉的避開法律法規。
