BBC环球慢速英语 第319期:切尔诺贝利核电站事故(8)

voice 2: Military workers built a protective cover for the power plant after it exploded. This covering keeps most of the harmful chemicals and radiation contained. However, people built the cover poorly. And it is starting to break. The chemicals inside will be radioactive for hundreds of years. But the cover will not last that long. If the cover on the power plant continues to break, another explosion may happen. There may be another dangerous accident.
声音2：核电站爆炸之后，军队人员为核电站建了一个防护罩。这一防护罩阻隔了大部分有害化学物质，同时遏制了辐射的扩散。但是，防护罩的质量很差。现在已经开始破裂。里面化学物质的放射性将持续数百年时间。防护罩要坚持不了那么长时间。如果核电站上空的防护罩持续破裂，可能会再次发生爆炸。也许会发生另一起危险事故。

voice 1: Ukrainian officials have designed a new cover for the power plant. This stronger cover will last much longer than the old cover. It will protect the area for about one hundred years. The cloud of radioactive smoke is gone today But it will continue to affect the world for many years.
声音1：乌克兰官员已经为核电站设计了一个新防护罩。这顶防护罩更坚固，使用时间会远远长于旧防护罩。新防护罩将在100年左右的时间里一直保护该地区。今天，放射性烟雾云已经消失。但是其仍将在未来数年的时间里继续影响世界。
