超过500名官员和救生员向倾覆的长江客轮鞠躬默哀,这起事故截止周日已导致431人死亡,11人失踪。请看本报昨日的报道:
More than 500 officials and rescuers bowed in mourning towards the battered cruise ship, which capsized during a storm on the Yangtze River last week. The death toll from the disaster reached 431 Sunday, with 11 still missing. Only 14 survivors, one of them the captain, have been found since the 2,200-ton ship carrying 456 people overturned in a freak tornado Monday night in Jianli in Hubei Province. Most of the passengers were elderly tourists.
报道中的capsize就是“倾覆”,指车或船侧翻或倒翻,相当于keel over。例如:
Don’t rock the boat or it will capsize!
不要摇晃小船,它会翻的!
