Hurricane-force winds batter UK, threaten Europe
飓风肆虐英国 威胁欧洲
Hurricane-force winds cut power and wreaked havoc in England and Scotland, as Storm Xaver blasted towards mainland Europe. Strong winds battered Scotland, and killed a truck driver whose vehicle was swept on top of two cars in West Lothian. Four people were injured. Crews rescued stranded neighbors from their flooded homes in Rhyl, north of Wales. Margaret Smith took it all in stride:
飓风Xaver导致电力中断，在英格兰和苏格兰造成重大破坏，正在向欧洲大陆移动。狂风肆虐苏格兰，在西洛锡安将一辆卡车抛到两辆小汽车顶部，卡车司机死亡，4人受伤。北威尔士拉尔社区房屋被洪水淹没，救援人员正在努力营救被困居民。Margaret Smith坦然自若地面对这种境况：
(SOUNDBITE) (English) RHYL RESIDENT, MARGARET SMITH, SAYING: "I was a Girl Guide so I was well prepared. The water just came in, full stop. I was here in 1990 when the same thing happened. No problem."
拉尔社区居民MARGARET SMITH：“我是一名女童子军，所以我做好了充分的准备。大水刚刚进来淹没房屋。1990年同样的事情发生时我也在这里。没问题。”
Though some residents remained prepared, British authorities said the Thames Barrier would shut on Thursday night and warned people of - quote -"the most serious coastal tidal surge for over 60 years in England". In Germany, Northern regions braced themselves, as the storm approached the coastline, threatening winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour.
尽管一些居民做好准备，英国当局表示，泰晤士河防潮闸将于周四晚上关闭，警告人们“英格兰遭遇60多年来最严重的潮汐。”在德国，北方地区开始自救。飓风已经到达海岸线，风速高达每小时140千米。
