原文及翻譯
Hurricane Ernesto strengthened into a Category 2 storm Thursday night as it barreled toward Bermuda after leaving hundreds of thousands of people in Puerto Rico without power or water. Sweltering heat enveloped the U.S. territory, raising concerns about people's health.
颶風(fēng)埃內(nèi)斯托于周四晚增強(qiáng)為 2 級颶風(fēng),向百慕大進(jìn)發(fā),導(dǎo)致波多黎各數(shù)十萬居民斷電斷水。酷熱籠罩著美國領(lǐng)土,人們的健康問題令人擔(dān)憂。
A hurricane warning was in effect for Bermuda, with Ernesto expected to pass near or over the island Saturday.
颶風(fēng)警報已對百慕大生效,預(yù)計埃內(nèi)斯托將于周六經(jīng)過該島附近或上空。
The storm was centered about 660 kilometers south-southwest of Bermuda late Thursday. Its maximum sustained winds had risen to 155 kph, and the storm was moving north-northeast at 22 kph over open waters.
颶風(fēng)中心位于百慕大西南偏南約 660 公里處,周四晚間最大持續(xù)風(fēng)速已升至 155 公里/小時,風(fēng)暴以 22 公里/小時的速度向東北偏北移動,掠過開闊水域。
"I cannot stress enough how important it is for every resident to use this time to prepare. We have seen in the past the devastating effects of complacency," said National Security Minister Michael Weeks.
“我再怎么強(qiáng)調(diào)也不為過,每個居民都要利用這段時間做好準(zhǔn)備。我們過去曾目睹過自滿造成的破壞性影響,”國家安全部長邁克爾·威克斯說。
Ernesto was forecast to possibly reach Category 3 strength Friday and then weaken as it approaches Bermuda, where it was forecast to drop 15 to 30 centimeters of rain, with up to 38 centimeters in isolated areas.
據(jù)預(yù)測,颶風(fēng)埃內(nèi)斯托可能在周五達(dá)到 3 級強(qiáng)度,并在接近百慕大時減弱,預(yù)計百慕大將降雨 15 至 30 厘米,局部地區(qū)降雨量最高可達(dá) 38 厘米。
