CNN News:馬薩諸塞州受暴雪洪水雙重襲擊

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Hi, I`m Carl Azuz. Glad you are watching CNN STUDENT NEWS. Millions in New York and New Jersey are asking what blizzard - while millions in New England are saying, this one. The forecast was off in some areas, but not Massachusetts. Boston got hit with one of its heaviest winter storms ever, and several other cities in the state recorded 30 inches of snow by yesterday afternoon with more on the way.

我是 Carl Azuz，歡迎收看CNN學生新聞。紐約和新澤西地區(qū)的數(shù)百萬居民都在問什么是暴風雪，新英格蘭區(qū)的數(shù)百萬居民回應說，這就是。天氣預報預測出部分地區(qū)的暴風雪極端天氣襲擊但是沒有預測出馬薩諸塞州也會遭受此類天氣襲擊。波士頓經歷了入冬以來最嚴重的一次極端天氣襲擊。該州其他幾個城市昨天下午也降下了30英寸記錄性降雪。更多降雪仍在繼續(xù)。

Coastal communities flooded. The storm surge, a wall of water pushed by a storm broke through the seawall in the town of Marshfield, Massachusetts. One emergency official said the entire self-part of the town was cut off by flooding.

極端天氣還帶來了洪水，淹沒沿海社區(qū)。風暴潮來了，一墻高的洪水被風暴推著前進打破了馬塞諸塞州馬什菲爾德鎮(zhèn)。緊急狀況機構官員稱該城鎮(zhèn)整個獨立系統(tǒng)已經被洪水切斷。

And forceful winds knocked out power to the entire island of Nantucket. But though the National Weather Service predicted a raging blizzard also in New York and New Jersey. It wasn`t so bad there. Some people call it, snowperbolic (ph).

強勁大風切斷了楠塔基特島整個電力供應。盡管如此，國家氣象局預計紐約和新澤西地區(qū)仍將有暴風雪襲擊。這還不是太糟糕，一些人把它稱作snowperbolic。

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio had a better safe than sorry response, and some meteorologists apologized for getting it wrong and alarming residents. Why is the weather so hard to predict?

紐約市長白思豪回應稱寧要安全，不要后悔。一些氣象專家為預報有誤表示道歉。為什么氣象預測工作這樣難做呢?
