CNN News:澳大利亞小鎮(zhèn)發(fā)生森林大火 多處房屋被燒毀

For our first report, we`re taking you to the nation and continent of Australia. In the southeast part of the country, the Australian state of New South Wales, a massive bushfire recently roared up to Tathra, a small town on the Australian coast. It spread so fast that hundreds of people had to run to the beaches or take refuge in other towns nearby. One resident said she walked the beach for three miles with more than 200 other people to get away from the heat.

頭條新聞，我們將帶你們?nèi)グ拇罄麃?。在澳大利亞新南威爾士州的東南部，一場大規(guī)模的叢林大火在向澳大利亞海岸的小鎮(zhèn)Tathra咆哮。它蔓延得如此之快，以至于數(shù)以百計的人不得不跑到海灘或在附近的其他城鎮(zhèn)避難。一位居民說，她和200多人一起在沙灘上走了3英里，以避開炎熱。

People who live in Tathra say its cellphone reception is notoriously bad, even when there`s not disaster. And the lack of dependable information reportedly left some folks in the dark about how serious and how close the fire was before it hit.

居住在Tathra的人們說，即使沒有災(zāi)難，他們的手機信號也很糟糕。據(jù)報道，由于缺乏可靠的信息，一些人對火災(zāi)發(fā)生前的嚴(yán)重程度和結(jié)束時間一無所知。

But while local officials say a number of people needed to be treated for smoke inhalation, no one is missing and no one seriously injured. The bushfire destroyed around 70 homes, about 40 others were damaged, and that`s in addition to dozens of caravans or cabins that burned.

但當(dāng)?shù)毓賳T表示，許多人需要接受吸入煙霧的治療，但沒有人失蹤，也沒有人嚴(yán)重受傷。這場山火燒毀了大約70座房屋，大約40座房屋被毀，除此之外，還有數(shù)十座大篷車或小木屋被燒毀。

Firefighters were able to save 400 houses.

消防隊員能夠拯救400所房屋。

They were hoping to have the fire contained yesterday afternoon. That means they have walled off so that it doesn`t spread further. The next step for residents will be to return to their homes and see what needs to be done.

他們希望昨天下午把火勢控制住。這意味著火災(zāi)已經(jīng)被隔離開來，這樣就不會進一步擴散。居民的下一步是返回家園，看看需要做些什么。

Bushfires and forest fires are common disasters in Australia.

在澳大利亞，森林火災(zāi)和森林火災(zāi)是常見的災(zāi)害。
