Just a random observation to start today`s edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS -- Fridays are awesome!

讓我們開始今天的CNN 學(xué)生新聞，今天是周五，太棒了!

We`re starting today`s ten minutes of news coverage in the U.S. state of California. There are currently nine large wildfires burning there. Tens of thousands of acres have been destroyed, hundreds of buildings and homes have been lost, and almost ten thousand firefighters are involved in trying to blazes.

今日的10分鐘新聞從美國的加利福尼亞州開始。最近這里發(fā)生了9起森林大火。成千上萬英畝的森林被燒毀，同時上千幢建筑物和房屋被銷毀，約有1萬名消防員參與了火災(zāi)營救工作。

This state is no stranger to these disasters. Throughout the summer, lightning strikes, camp fires, sometimes arson sparks them. And the danger‘s so widespread because about a third of California`s homes are in areas prone to wildfires, according to the U.S. Forest Service.

該州曾發(fā)生過數(shù)起類似的災(zāi)難事件。整個夏天，雷擊、篝火、縱火導(dǎo)致了火災(zāi)事件。根據(jù)美國林務(wù)局報(bào)道，火災(zāi)導(dǎo)致的危害范圍很大，因?yàn)榧又菁s有1/3的居民地區(qū)易發(fā)生大火。

Though this year season has been destructive, its fires are not setting records at this point. Still, a severe drought has parched parts of California for years, combined with the warm, dry Santa Ana winds that blow westward in the fall could make things worse.

盡管今年火災(zāi)破壞性很大，但火災(zāi)次數(shù)沒有刷新紀(jì)錄。但是由于加州已經(jīng)干旱數(shù)年，同時由于溫暖、干燥的圣塔安娜風(fēng)的影響，情況仍變得非常糟糕。

Here`s a perspective on one of the wildfires that`s currently out of control.

以下是關(guān)于一場失控大火的報(bào)道。
