New York suburbs hit by flash floods after record rainfall
創紀錄暴雨致紐約郊區爆發洪水
Major roads in the US are turned into rivers. Vehicles submerged up to their windows are abandoned in New York subways as the waters rise. Heavy rain dumped more than 30 cm of water across the Long Island, triggering flash floods. It's believed to be the most the area's ever seen in a 24 hour period.
美國主要道路變成一片汪洋大海。隨著水位上漲，被淹沒至窗戶的車輛被遺棄在紐約地下人行道。暴雨導致長島超過30厘米深的積水，引發了突發洪水。據信這是該地區有史以來經歷的24小時內最大的降水量。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNIDENTIFIED LONG ISLAND RESIDENT, SAYING: "In all the years I am living here I have never, ever seen anything like this, ever. Never 12 inches of rain. Never."
未透露姓名的長島居民：“我在這里居住了這么多年，從來沒見過這么嚴重的積水。12英寸的積水。前所未有。”
The worst of it came during the morning rush hour, causing major problems for commuters. One traveller in New Jersey though refused to give up, pushing his car through waist deep muddy water. Many major routes and the Long Island Rail Road were forced to close because of flooding. At least one death was reported in Long Island. Flash floods also hit Nebraska. Here at the Good Smaritan Hospital it was a different kind of emergency from usual. Surveillance cameras capture the moment when floodwaters barrelled through the cafeteria, sending one worker scrambling to get out.
最糟糕的狀況出現在早高峰時段，給通勤者帶來重大麻煩。然而，新澤西一名乘客不想放棄，在及腰深的泥水中推車前行。許多重要道路和長島鐵路由于洪水被迫關閉。據報道長島至少1人死亡。突發洪水還襲擊了內布拉斯加州。在施救者醫院則是不同尋常的緊急狀況。監控攝像頭拍攝到了洪水淹沒自助餐廳，導致一名工作人員倉惶逃命的情景。
Ukraine army recaptures town near rebel stronghold
烏克蘭重新占領叛軍堡壘附近城鎮
Ukrainian Army tanks in the eastern city of Uglegorsk; the national flag waving high. The army recaptured the town on Tuesday from pro-Russian separatists, and began to close in on the rebel stronghold of Dontesk, only a half hour's drive away. Residents of Uglegorsk say at least five civilians were killed in the operation.
烏克蘭軍方坦克已開入東部城鎮Uglegorsk，國旗高高飄揚。周二，軍方重新從親俄分裂分子手中奪取了該城鎮，并開始逼近叛軍堡壘頓涅茨克，驅車只有半小時的路程。Uglegorsk居民表示，至少5名平民在行動中遇難。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) UGLEGORSK RESIDENT, SAYING: "There was a massive shooting. It seemed like there weren't many fighters, but the storming was horrid." And apart from the death toll, it left behind enormous damage.
Uglegorsk居民：“他們進行了大范圍的射擊。看上去戰士并不很多，但是炮火卻很猛烈。”除了造成人員傷亡外，戰爭還造成了重大損失。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) UGLEGORSK RESIDENT, SAYING: "There's no electricity, nothing. No windows, no roof. The winter is close, what are we to do? "
Uglegorsk居民：“沒有電力供應，什么都沒有。沒有窗戶，沒有屋頂。冬天已經來臨，我們應該怎么辦？”
As government forces tighten the noose on separatists, shelling hit the center of Donetsk for the first time in the conflict, killing one person. This, as a large Russian aid convoy rumbles towards the border, worrying the central government in Kiev. Ukraine is fearful the convoy could be a covert military intervention by Moscow to help the rebels -- just when they appear on the verge of defeat.
隨著政府力量加緊對分裂分子的包圍，自沖突開始以來，炮火首次擊中頓涅茨克中心，造成1人死亡。由于俄羅斯浩浩蕩蕩的救援物資車隊已經靠近邊境，炮火使基輔中央政府非常擔憂。烏克蘭擔憂車隊是莫斯科試圖幫助叛軍的變向軍事干預，尤其是在叛軍即將被擊敗之際。
Thousands of Israelis rally in support of Gaza offensive
數千名以色列人集會支持加沙襲擊
Thousands of Israelis gather in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square Thursday to support residents of southern Israel. The region is a frequent target of rockets launched by militants in Gaza. Many wave signs and banners in support of Israel's month long offensive. But with a new five-day ceasefire in effect, some are calling for the Israeli government to do more to stop rocket attacks.
周四，數千名以色列人聚集在特拉維夫的拉賓廣場，支持以色列南部人民。該地區經常成為加沙地帶激進分子火箭彈襲擊的目標。許多人揮舞著標語和旗幟支持以色列長達一個月的襲擊。但是新的為期五天的停火即將生效，一些人呼吁以色列政府采取更多措施制止火箭彈襲擊。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) DROR SHAMIR, RESIDENT OF GIVATAYIM, ISRAEL SAYING: "We came, actually, to say that we have people who are around 12 years (old), 14 years (old) or under, everyday these rockets. And they have 15 seconds, 15 unbelievable seconds to find a shelter. And these children here, they are afraid."
以色列GIVATAYIM居民DROR SHAMIR：“我們來這里是想說，我們有很多12歲，14歲甚至更年幼的人每天都遭遇火箭彈襲擊。他們只有短暫的15秒鐘的時間來尋找庇護所。這些孩子們非常害怕。”
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OREN ALONY, RESIDENT OF HEDERA, ISRAEL, SAYING: "We have had enough. We are coming together today to tell to our Prime Minister, 'If you have to fight, fight. Don't talk. You have nothing to talk about. There are terrorists organizations. We have nothing to talk with them."
以色列HEDERA居民OREN ALONY：“我們已經受夠了。我們今天聚集在一起告訴我們的總理，‘如果我們必須反抗，那就反抗。不要只說不做。沒有什么好說的。他們是恐怖組織。我們跟他們無話可說。’”
More than a month of intense conflict between Israel and Hamas Islamist militants has left nearly 2,000 Palestinians dead, many of them civilians. 64 Israeli soldiers and three Israeli citizens have also been killed. The temporary truce comes after both sides agreed to give Egyptian-brokered peace negotiations in Cairo more time to try to end the conflict in Gaza.
以色列和哈馬斯伊斯蘭激進分子之間超過一個月的劇烈沖突已經造成接近2,000名巴勒斯坦人死亡，其中許多是平民。還有64名以色列士兵和3名以色列平民遇難。雙方達成臨時休戰協議，希望給予埃及促成的在開羅舉行的和平談判更多時間，終止加沙地帶的沖突。
