大家好我是Carl Azuz。

First up this Thursday on CNN STUDENT NEWS: a tragic incident on the busiest railroad in North America, Amtrak Northeast Corridor connects Washington, D.C. to Boston, Massachusetts.

首先今天周四的CNN學(xué)生新聞?wù)f的是美國北部的一條繁忙的鐵路上的事故。這條鐵路鏈接著華盛頓特區(qū)到馬薩諸塞州的波士頓地區(qū)。

On Tuesday, train number 188 was carrying 238 commuters and five crew members from the capital to New York. When it got near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the train derailed. One witness said there`s a place where the track curves around a warehouse, and then it looked like the engine kept going straight, off the track, followed by the cars it was pulling, seven of them came off the track. At least seven people were killed.

周二時候，188號列車搭載著238名乘客和5名機(jī)組成員從首都紐約出發(fā)，在經(jīng)過賓夕法尼亞州費城附近的時候出軌。一名目擊者稱列車途經(jīng)階段是一條彎路鐵軌然而列車卻直著沖了過去隨后脫軌，其中七名乘客被甩出車廂。至少七人死亡。

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. It says it preliminary data shows the train was traveling at a 100 miles per hour at the time it derailed. That`s twice the speed limit on that section of the track. Passengers were thrown from their seats against walls, doors, each other. More than 200 people were injured, several of them thanked first responders who arrived within minutes to rescue victims.

美國國家運輸安全委員會正在對事故進(jìn)行調(diào)查。其表示根據(jù)最初數(shù)據(jù)顯示列車脫軌當(dāng)時行駛速度高達(dá)100公里每小時。這個速度是該段限速的兩倍。車廂內(nèi)乘客被甩到車廂墻壁上，門上，互相亂撞。大約有200多人受傷，其中幾名乘客對事發(fā)后幾分鐘之內(nèi)趕到的救援人員表示了感謝。
