I'm Coy.

我是科伊。

This is CNN 10, the best 10 minutes in news because of you.

这是 CNN 10,因为有你而成为新闻界最好的 10 分钟。

It's Wednesday, May 8th.

今天是 5 月 8 日,星期三。

I'm looking forward to using one of your vocab words in today's show.

我期待在今天的节目中使用你的一个词汇。

Lots of stellar submissions, so thank you for boosting our vocabulary.

很多出色的提交,所以感谢你提高我们的词汇量。

First up, we start in Israel, where the country's military, known as the Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, has taken control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.

首先,我们从以色列开始,该国的军队,即以色列国防军,已经控制了拉法过境点的巴勒斯坦一侧。

That's a key point of entry for aid coming into Gaza.

这是援助物资进入加沙的一个关键切入点。

It's located on the border with Egypt.

它位于与埃及边境。

The assault began overnight on Tuesday with Israeli airstrikes on Rafah.

周二夜间,以色列对拉法发动空袭,袭击开始。

Medical officials there say 23 people were killed.

那里的医疗官员称,有 23 人死亡。

Soon after, the IDF rolled tanks into the area, replacing Palestinian flags with Israeli flags.

不久之后,以色列国防军将坦克开进该地区,用以色列国旗取代了巴勒斯坦国旗。

This new offensive comes as ceasefire negotiations between Israel and the terror organization Hamas, which runs Gaza, have hit a snag.

这次新的攻势正值以色列与管理加沙的恐怖组织哈马斯之间的停火谈判遇到障碍之际。

Hamas has agreed to a deal that would require them to release 33 Israeli hostages taken during its October 7th assault on Israel.

哈马斯已同意一项协议,要求他们释放在10月7日袭击以色列期间被劫持的33名以色列人质。

In exchange, Israel would release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and pause the war for an indefinite period to allow for the rebuilding of Gaza.

作为交换,以色列将释放数百名巴勒斯坦囚犯,并无限期暂停战争,以便重建加沙。

So far, Israel has rejected the deal.

目前,以色列拒绝了该协议。

The U.N. Secretary General is urging both sides to keep talking.

联合国秘书长敦促双方继续对话。

It would be tragic.

那将是悲剧

If weeks of intense diplomatic activity for peace in Gaza yield no ceasefire, no release of hostages, and a devastating offensive in Rafah.

如果数周来在加沙为和平而进行的紧张外交活动没有停火,没有释放人质,并在拉法发动毁灭性的攻势。

I reiterate my appeal for both parties to show the political courage and spare no effort to secure an agreement now.

我再次呼吁双方表现出政治勇气,不遗余力地立即达成协议。

To stop the bloodshed.

停止流血。

To free the hostages.

解救人质。

And to help stabilize a region which is still at risk of explosion.

并帮助稳定仍面临爆炸危险的地区。

Before moving into Rafah on Tuesday, Israel warned residents to evacuate.

在周二进入拉法之前,以色列警告居民撤离。

But earlier in the war, Israel had told Palestinians in northern Gaza to flee south towards that city.

但在战争初期,以色列曾告诉加沙北部的巴勒斯坦人向南逃往该城市。

So this new offensive is leaving people who originally fled to Rafah in dire circumstances with few options on where to go.

因此,这一新的攻势让原本在悲惨情况下逃往拉法的人们几乎没有选择去哪里。

Next, we head to Oklahoma, where giant hail, hurricane force winds, and devastating tornadoes tore through parts of the state Monday night, killing at least one person and injuring multiple others.

接下来,我们将前往俄克拉荷马州, 周一晚上,巨大的冰雹、飓风和毁灭性的龙卷风席卷了该州的部分地区,造成至少一人死亡, 多人受伤。

Tornadoes and inclement weather also causing considerable damage in Missouri and Tennessee.

龙卷风和恶劣天气也给密苏里州和田纳西州造成了相当大的损失。

The residents of Barnsdall, Oklahoma, are all too familiar with this kind of destruction.

俄克拉荷马州巴恩斯达尔的居民对这种破坏再熟悉不过了。

This tornado was the second in a little over a month to hit the small city with a population of about 1,000 people.

这场龙卷风是一个多月以来第二次袭击这座人口约 1000 人的小城市。

CNN's Lucy Kafanov is on the ground to show us the damage up close.

Behind me, a residential home.

The family will have to find another place to live.

这个家庭将不得不寻找另一个住处。

As we walk over here, this was a garage structure that also was a part of this property.

当我们走到这里时,这是一个车库结构,也是该房产的一部分。

And that tornado, the direct hit here, flattening this structure.

还有那场龙卷风,直接袭击了这里,夷平了这个建筑。

I don't know if you could see it behind me, but over there is a pickup truck.

我不知道你是否能在我身后看到它,但那边有一辆皮卡车。

It just gives you a sense of the scale of this destruction.

它只是让你了解这种破坏的规模。

This region is not yet out of the woods.

这个地区还没有走出困境。

Millions in the Midwest are still at risk of strong tornadoes ripping through the area, and millions more are vulnerable to damaging storms.

中西部地区的数百万人仍然面临着强烈龙卷风席卷该地区的风险,还有数百万人容易遭受破坏性风暴的袭击。

Boeing's Starliner needs a do-over.

We told you earlier this week that the new spacecraft was supposed to take off Monday night with astronauts on board for the first time.

本周早些时候,我们告诉过你,这艘新航天器应该在周一晚上起飞,宇航员将首次登上飞机。

But shortly before launch, there was an issue with the rocket that propels the capsule into space.

但在发射前不久,将太空舱送入太空的火箭出现了问题。

CNN's Kristin Fisher explains what happened.

CNN的克里斯汀·费舍尔 (Kristin Fisher) 解释了发生了什么。

About two hours before lifting off with two NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore on top inside that Starliner spacecraft, the ground teams discovered an issue with an oxygen relief valve on the second stage of the Atlas V rocket.

在两名美国宇航局宇航员苏尼·威廉姆斯和布奇·威尔莫在星际线飞船顶部升空前大约两个小时,地面团队发现阿特拉斯五号火箭第二级的氧气安全阀出现问题。

This is a valve that essentially releases some pressure from the oxygen, the liquid oxygen that's building up in the tank.

这是一个阀门,基本上从氧气中释放一些压力,氧气是在储罐中积聚的液态氧。

Liquid oxygen is one of the propellants that fuels the Atlas V into space.

液氧是阿特拉斯五号进入太空的推进剂之一。

And so the United Launch Alliance says this is typically a pretty minor issue that they've experienced before.

因此,联合发射联盟表示,这通常是他们以前经历过的一个非常小的问题。

They know how to troubleshoot.

他们知道如何排除故障。

If it had only been a payload on top, a non-human payload, like satellites or something like that, they would have gone ahead and launched.

如果它只是一个顶部的有效载荷, 一个非人类的有效载荷, 比如卫星或类似的东西,他们就会继续发射。

They say that those satellites would already be up in space now.

他们说,这些卫星现在已经在太空中了。

But because this was the first time that they actually had people on top, the first crewed test flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, they decided, out of an abundance of caution, to hold off.

但是因为这是他们第一次真正有人在上面,波音公司的Starliner宇宙飞船的第一次载人试飞,出于谨慎考虑, 他们决定推迟。

NASA and Boeing may try for another launch on Friday.

美国宇航局和波音公司可能会在周五尝试再次发射。

When it does take off, the spacecraft is headed to the International Space Station, where it will spend about a week before coming home.

当它起飞时, 飞船将前往国际空间站,在那里度过大约一周的时间然后返回。

NASA is welcoming a second company with which it can partner on missions to the ISS.

In South Africa, rescue operations are underway in the city of George after a multi-story building collapse left dozens of people trapped under debris.
