CNN News: 重霧霾襲擊新德里

In the Southeast Asian country of India, exhausts from old cars and motorcycles, pollutions from industries, smoke from cooking and fires from when farmers burn their crops double, all of this contributes to the toxic air pollution in the Indian capital of New Delhi. More than 25 million people live there and many of them are suffering with air conditions that one doctor compared to smoking 50 cigarettes a day.

在東南亞國家印度，廢舊汽車排放的尾氣、工業(yè)排放的廢物、做飯產(chǎn)生的濃煙以及農(nóng)民燃燒秸稈造成的火災(zāi)，所有這些都造成了印度首都新德里惡劣的空氣環(huán)境。有2500萬人居住在那里，很多人忍受著糟糕的空氣環(huán)境。一個(gè)醫(yī)生比喻到好像每天吸50支煙。

Now, United Airlines has suspended its flights to the city because of what it called poor air quality concerns. At least through Monday, no United flights are landing in, taking off from or connecting in India`s capital. The company is treating conditions there like it treats severe weather or other events like a volcanic eruption. For those with flight tickets, United is offering travel waivers, to allow passengers to choose another flight without paying for the change.

現(xiàn)在，由于空氣質(zhì)量問題，美國聯(lián)合航空公司已經(jīng)暫停了飛往新德里的航班。至少周一，沒有航班在新德里著陸或者起飛。航空公司正在處理情況，就像處理惡劣天氣或者火山噴發(fā)事件。對(duì)于已經(jīng)購買機(jī)票的乘客，航空公司提供了旅行豁免，乘客可以免費(fèi)選擇其他航班。

New Delhi is under a public health emergency, schools have been closed, tracks from other areas are not allowed to enter the capital, construction projects have been put on hold, pollution is not something that`s new for the city. It`s a part of life there, especially this time of year. But that doesn`t mean that residents can get used to it, or avoid suffering from it.

新德里處于公共衛(wèi)生緊急事件，學(xué)校停課，任何外來的交通工具不允許進(jìn)入新德里，建筑項(xiàng)目被擱置，污染在這個(gè)城市已經(jīng)司空見怪。污染是新德里生活的一部分，尤其是在每年這個(gè)時(shí)候。但是這并不意味著居民們要學(xué)會(huì)適應(yīng)或者避免遭受。
