BBC在线收听下载:飓风“多里安”肆虐巴哈马

2019-09-05来源:和谐英语
BBC News. Hello, I'm Jerry Smit.
A powerful hurricane is continuing to cause major destruction in the north of the Bahamas, a day after it first made landfall with houses underwater, cars overturned and power lines down. Hurricane Dorian has left many people in the Abaco islands homeless and the storm is now moving slowly westward across grand Bahamas. Officials have told residents to remain in shelters. Forecasters have warned of a life-threatening storm surge of up to seven meters. Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis had this message for his country's residence.
一场强飓风在巴哈马群岛北部造成持续重大破坏。这场飓风在一天前首次登陆,房屋被淹没,汽车被掀翻,电线也被切断。飓风多里安使阿巴科群岛的许多人无家可归,现在风暴正缓慢地向西穿过巴哈马群岛。政府官员告诉居民们不要外出。气象预报员警告说,可能会出现高达7米的致命风暴潮。巴哈马总理休伯特•明尼斯向本国公民发表了这一讲话。

This is a deadly storm and a monster storm. I can only say to them that I hope this is not the last time they will hear my voice. And may God be with them.
这是一场致命的怪物风暴。我只能对他们说,我希望这不是他们最后一次听到我的声音,愿上帝与他们同在。

One of the leaders of an impending parliamentary rebellion against no-deal Brexit says the B ritish government wants to lose the vote so it can purge the governing Conservative Party. The former Justice Secretary David Gauke told the BBC that the government's apparent strategy was to sack rebel MPs and exclude them as candidates in the resulting general election. Opposition politicians are expected to attempt to block a no-deal Brexit when parliament reconvenes tomorrow, but they will not reveal details. But the former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair has urged Labour MPs to vote against holding a general election if the government seeks one, comparing the prospect to an elephant trap.
一名反对“无协议脱欧”的议会抗议活动的领导人表示,英国政府希望输掉投票,这样就可以清除执政的保守党中的反对者。前司法大臣戴维• 高克告诉BBC,政府的策略明显是想解雇反对的议员,并在大选中撤销他们作为候选人的资格。反对派政客预计将在明天议会重新开会时阻止无协议脱欧,但他们没有透露细节。前工党首相托尼•布莱尔敦促工党议员,如果政府想要举行大选的话,他们要投票反对,他将选举比作一个明显的陷阱。

It's counter-intuitive for opposition parties to refuse an election. But in this exceptional case, it's vital they do so. The Brexiteers are laying a trap to seem as if pushed into an election whilst actively preparing for one. Boris Johnson knows that if no-deal Brexit stands on its own as a proposition, it might well fail, but if he mixes it up with the Brexit question and the Corbyn question together in a general election, he could succeed.
反对党一般不会拒绝选举,但在这种特殊情况下,他们这样做是至关重要的。英国脱欧派正在设下陷阱,表面上看是被动进行选举,实则是在积极准备。鲍里斯•约翰逊知道,如果无协议脱欧成为一个独立的议题,很可能会失败。但如果他在大选中把英国脱欧问题和共党领袖科尔宾问题混为一谈,他可能会成功。

Prosecutors in the Czech Republic have halted an investigation into alleged fraud by the Prime Minister Andrej Babis. The state attorney's office said he had changed his mind about the case. Mr. Babis' ANO Party won the election in 2017, but other parties have been reluctant to join him in a coalition government while the case was hanging over his head. Rob Cameron reports.Mr. Babis and several family members have been formally charged by police with misappropriating two million euros in EU small business funds for his huge Agrofert conglomerate before he entered politics, allegations the Czech prime minister resolutely denies. But it's not the end of this four-year saga, one that has dogs the billionaire businessman's political career. The local prosecutor's superiors will now examine the decision and a spokesman for the supreme state prosecutor's office said it could become involved.
捷克共和国检察官停止了对安德烈•巴比斯总理涉嫌欺诈案的调查。州检察官办公室表示,他已经改变了对此案的看法。巴比斯所在的ANO党赢得了2017年的大选,但在此案悬而未决之际,其他政党一直不愿加入他的联合政府。以下是罗伯•卡梅伦的报道。警方曾正式指控巴比斯和他的几名家庭成员控诉他在从政前挪用了200万欧元的欧盟小企业资金,用于他的爱格富集团。捷克总理坚决否认了这些指控。这场延续四年事件并没有结束,仍困扰着这位亿万富翁商人的政治生涯。当地检察官的上级将对终止调查巴比斯的决定进行审查,最高国家检察官办公室的一位发言人表示他们可能会参与审查。
