CNN News:2014年底道瓊斯工業(yè)指數(shù)盈利 美國(guó)校園遭流感襲擊

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS. I`m Carl Azuz. This is our last show of 2014.

歡迎收看CNN學(xué)生新聞，我是Carl Azuz，這是我們2014年最后一期節(jié)目。

Before we head up for the holidays, we`ve got a few things to catch you up on, one of them, the U.S. stock market. Yesterday was the best day of the year for the Dow Jones Industrial Average of 30 important stocks. It rose 420 points. Why? Well, the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of the U.S. made comments suggesting that the U.S. economy is on track to keep growing. Investors like that.

在我們迎接假期之前我有幾件事情要告訴你。其中一件就是美國(guó)股票市場(chǎng)。昨天對(duì)于30個(gè)重要股票中道瓊斯工業(yè)平均指數(shù)來(lái)講是一年中最好的一天，上升了420點(diǎn)。為什么呢?是因?yàn)槁?lián)邦儲(chǔ)備。美國(guó)中央銀行作出評(píng)論暗示美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)有望繼續(xù)保持增長(zhǎng)。投資者喜歡這一講話(huà)。

Also, the Russian ruble`s showing signs that it`s stabilizing. That`s good news for Europe. International markets are connected, so a jump in one can help others. Markets from Europe to Asia were making gains.

同時(shí)，俄羅斯盧布出現(xiàn)穩(wěn)定跡象。這對(duì)于歐洲來(lái)講是非常好的新聞。國(guó)際市場(chǎng)是相互連接在一起的，所以一個(gè)國(guó)家經(jīng)濟(jì)出現(xiàn)好轉(zhuǎn)跡象可以幫助帶動(dòng)其他國(guó)家經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。歐洲到亞洲的經(jīng)濟(jì)市場(chǎng)都可以得到好處。

Another story in the headlines: the flu. The Centers for Disease Control says it`s widespread at 14 states, in one county in northwest Georgia, 17 percent of students were out sick, and 16 percent of teachers. So, the superintendent closed all ten schools days before the scheduled Christmas break.

還有一條頭條新聞就是流感。美國(guó)疾病控制中心表示流感范圍已經(jīng)擴(kuò)大到了14個(gè)州，在喬治亞州西北部的一個(gè)縣，有17%的學(xué)生和16%的老師感染流感病毒。所以，10所學(xué)校在圣誕假期來(lái)臨之前關(guān)閉。

Similar situations in other states from North Carolina to Minnesota. Flu season usually starts in the fall, it peaks in January or February. This one could be worse, partly because officials say this year`s vaccine isn`t as effective as usual.

從北卡羅來(lái)納州到明尼蘇達(dá)州都出現(xiàn)了類(lèi)似狀況。流感季節(jié)通常開(kāi)始于秋天，在一月或者二月情況最嚴(yán)重。今年這場(chǎng)流感情況更加糟糕，部分原因是因?yàn)榻衲甑囊呙鐩](méi)有像往常一樣起到預(yù)防效果。
