2019-06-28来源:BBC

voice 1: The captain sent a radio message to authorities on land. He told them what had happened. He asked the authorities to send help. But the spill happened far away from land. There was not an easy way for rescue and cleaning crews to travel to the ship quickly. Workers could not stop the leaking. They tried to contain the oil. But they did not succeed. The ship leaked oil into the ocean for two days. More than forty-one million gallons of oil spilled into the ocean.
声音1:船长向陆地上的有关部门发出了无线电讯息。他告诉了他们所发生的事情。他希望有关部门提供帮助。但是,漏油地点离陆地特别远。救援人员和清理人员迅速赶往油轮出事地并不容易。工作人员无法阻止泄漏。他们曾试图阻止石油的持续泄漏。但是,他们没能成功。油轮里的石油不断泄漏进海洋,这一过程持续了两天。共有超过4100万加仑石油泄漏进海洋。

voice 2: The wind and waves moved the oil to land. The oil covered one thousand nine hundred kilometres of the rocky coast. The oil affected the animals living in the water and on the coast. Birds could not fly because of the oil on their wings. The oil entered the bodies of fish, and other animals living in the water. Their bodies could not work correctly. They could not swim, fly, eat or stay warm. The oil harmed large and small animals. Hundreds of thousands of animals died.
声音2:风浪将石油吹向陆地。石油覆盖了1900公里岩质海岸。石油泄漏对生活在该水域和海岸的动物造成了影响。鸟类飞不起来,因为石油在它们的翅膀上。石油还进入了鱼类体内以及其它生活在该水域的动物体内。它们的身体无法正常工作。它们不能游泳、飞翔、进食或保暖。石油泄漏还对大型动物和小型动物造成了损害。导致数十万只动物死亡。
