「A healthy attitude is contagious, but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.」
– Tom Stoppard, Playwright
「健康的態度是有感染力的，但不要等待被人感染，而是成為帶原者。」
– 湯姆·史塔佩 (劇作家)
Hello, this is David Austin with the BBC News. The authorities in Northern California say they've found the remains of another thirteen people killed by the worst wildfire in the history of the state. It brings the total known to have died in the blaze in and around the obliterated town of Paradise to 42. In Southern California, powerful winds are fanning another huge fire. Dan Johnson sent this report. Some people were found in their homes, others by their cars or at the wheel, overcome as they tried to escape. More than a hundred are believed to be still missing so there are fears the number of dead could rise further. Closer to Los Angeles, some people have been allowed back into devastated neighborhoods to assess the damage. President Donald Trump declaring a major disaster means there's extra money to support those affected. Thousands of firefighters are still working because new fires keep breaking out. Fanned by hot, dry winds, it could be weeks before they're all finally put out.
大家好，我是大衛·奧斯汀，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。北加州官員表示稱，他們又找到了13具屍體，加州遭遇了史上最嚴重火災。天堂鎮遭遇了毀滅性打擊，天堂鎮以及周邊地區的已知遇難人數達到42人。在南加州，猛烈的大風正在助長另一場大火，以下是丹·詹森的報導。許多遇難者在逃離時死在了車裡，一些在車旁邊或駕駛座。據信還有100人仍下落不明，遇難者人數恐怕還會繼續上升。在洛杉磯附近，一些民眾被允許返回燒毀的街區檢查受損狀況。川普宣布這是一場重大災難，這也意味著政府將增加資金投入，幫助受災居民。數千名消防人員仍在工作，因為不停地有新的火情爆發。受熱幹風的影響，徹底撲滅這些大火還需要幾周的時間。
Israel says airstrikes have now targeted more than a hundred sites in the Gaza Strip, including the military intelligence headquarters of Hamas in northern Gaza. Tom Bateman reports from Jerusalem. Rocket alert sirens were again sounding in southern Israeli towns at dawn after around three hundred and seventy rockets and mortars were fired from Gaza since yesterday afternoon. In the town of Ashkelon, a man was found dead in the rubble of a building, while a nineteen-year-old soldier was seriously wounded when an anti-tank missile hit a bus. Health officials in Gaza said three Palestinians were killed as Israel targeted dozens of what it said were militant sites. Hamas said if there were further strikes, it would expand the circle of fire against Israel, while Israel threatened to retaliate with an iron fist.
以色列表示空襲現已覆蓋加薩走廊的100多個目標，包括加沙北部的哈馬斯軍事情報中心，以下是湯姆·貝特曼從耶路撒冷發回的報導。以色列南部城鎮在黎明時又想起了火箭彈警報。自昨天下午，加沙發射了大約370枚火箭彈和迫擊炮彈。在阿什凱隆鎮，一男子被發現死於建築廢墟中，一名19歲的士兵在一枚反坦飛彈擊中一輛巴士時嚴重受傷。加沙衛生官員表示，在以色列襲擊眾多他們所謂的激進分子據點後，三名巴勒斯坦人喪生。哈馬斯表示如果襲擊進一步發展，他們將會擴大對以色列的襲擊範圍，以色列威脅稱將會用「鐵拳」予以報復。
The Democratic Party's candidate Kyrsten Sinema has won the Senate race in the southern US state of Arizona, narrowly edging out her Republican rival Martha McSally. David Willis has the details. Kirsten Sinema's victory in a fiercely fought election whose outcome was too close to call for nearly a week makes her the first Democrat to represent Arizona in the US Senate in almost a quarter of a century. Her victory over Martha McSally means the Democrats now hold forty-seven seats in the US senate with two still undecided. Republican Party has fifty-one and the final makeup of the Upper House will be determined by a recount in Florida and a run-off election in Mississippi. World news from the BBC.
民主黨候選人凱斯頓·席內瑪贏得了美國亞利桑那州參議院競選，險勝共和黨對手瑪莎·麥莎莉，以下是大衛·威利斯的詳細報導。凱斯頓·席內瑪在激烈的競選中取得勝利，兩人的選票在一周時間以來都非常接近，她也成為了近25年來第一名在美國參議院中代表亞利桑那州的民主黨人。她在競選中打敗了瑪莎·麥莎莉，這也意味著民主黨佔據參議院47個席位，另有兩個席位空缺。共和黨現有51個席位，參議院的最終陣容還要看佛羅裡達的重新計票和密西西比的決選結果，BBC國際新聞。
