双语新闻:中国奋战节前混乱天气(图)
等待回家的人群

  The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday, is only 10 days away and millions of passengers are struggling to make the once-a-year trip home.

  现在离中国最重要的节日春节只有十天了,数百万人仍然为回一次家奋斗着。

  Almost 150,000 passengers were stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station on Saturday night after a power failure caused by snow, ice and sleet stopped more than 136 trains in Hunan Province on the trunk line between Beijing and Guangzhou.

  在一场冰雪造成的电力中断导致136辆列车停在湖南省后,周六晚大约有15万旅客滞留在广州火车站。

  Though the power supply resumed at 4:00 p.m. Saturday, 50 trains remain stranded between Hengyang City in Hunan and Guangzhou provinces.

  尽管电力供应已于周六下午4点恢复,50辆列车仍然在湖南衡阳和广州省中间滞留。

  An official with Guangzhou railway authorities said the number of stranded passengers in Guangzhou City alone could hit 600,000 on Monday if the situation continued.

  广州铁路局官员说如果这样下去的话到周一仅广州一地滞留旅客将达到60万。

  "Last night, 100,000 passengers packed the square in front of the railway station in heavy rain; another 50,000 crouched inside the building or under nearby crossovers," said an official in Yuexiu district of Guangzhou.

  广州越秀区官员说,“昨晚,有十万名旅客在大雨中挤在火车站前广场,另外五万人在天桥下面或者大楼内蜷缩着。”

  He said the authorities were trying to find shelter for the passengers at nearby schools, conference halls and other public facilities.

  他说官方正在努力在附近的学校、会议大厅和其他公共设施中给旅客寻找容身之处。
