美国有线新闻 CNN 夏威夷火山熔岩切断公路 烟雾笼罩周边区域

First today on CNN 10, a special weather statement for part of Hawaii. It's not rain. It's not storms. It's ashfall from the erupting Kilauea volcano that's likely in the southern part of Hawaii's big island.

今天CNN10分钟新闻首先来关注夏威夷部分地区发布的特别天气通告。这则通知与雨水和风暴均无关。而是基拉韦厄火山喷发所产生的火山灰沉降层很可能在夏威夷大岛南部地区出现。

A couple of reasons for this. One, the volcano continues to erupt, spewing ash into the air. Two, trade winds are blowing from the northeast, pushing that ash south.

出现这种现象有几个原因。其一，基拉韦厄火山持续喷发，不断向天空喷发火山灰。其二，来自东北部地区的信风将火山灰吹向南部地区。

The National Weather Service says the air will get more dusty and that residents, especially people with respiratory problems should do what they can to minimize their exposure.

美国国家气象局表示，空气中的灰尘会越来越多，居民、尤其是有呼吸疾病的人群应该尽可能最大程度地减少暴露在灰尘之中。

Ash can irritate the skin and eyes. And this is just the latest problem that people have had to deal with, since Kilauea started erupting on May 3rd.

灰尘会刺激皮肤和眼睛。基拉韦厄火山从5月3日开始喷发，这只是人们不得不应对的最新问题。

Miles east of the volcano itself, fast-moving magma spilled over a major highway Tuesday night, increasing fears that some people could become trap without an escape route if they don't evacuate¹. Two shelters and a church had been opened in the area where people and their pets can take refuge and hundreds of residents have. The danger from this eruption² has drifted across the Pacific.

周二晚上，快速移动的岩浆蔓延到火山以东数英里处的一条主要公路上，这使人们越来越担心如果他们不撤离，那他们可能会因没有撤离路线而被困住。该地区开放了两个避难所和一家教堂，人们可以带着宠物去那些地方避难，目前已有数百名居民前去避难。这场火山喷发所造成的危险可能影响整个太平洋地区。

Volcanic³ haze⁴, which can also cause respiratory problems, has reached the U.S. territory of Guam. That's 4,000 miles away from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano, and the sea itself around the big island is feeling the effects of this eruption.

火山烟雾也可能引发呼吸问题，而该烟雾已经扩散至美国领土关岛。该地距离夏威夷基拉韦厄火山有4000英里远，另外夏威夷大岛周围海域也已经感受到了此次喷发造成的影响。
