飓风的

One week after the initial tragedy, though, I traveled to Houston, joining Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as George H. W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, as they announced fund-raising efforts on behalf of the hurricane's victims and visited with some of the twenty-five thousand evacuees who were now sheltered in the Houston Astrodome and adjoining Reliant Center.

在最初的灾害发生后一个星期，我拜访了休斯顿，加入了克林顿、小布什夫妇一起，他们宣布要为飓风的死难者筹款，并看望了当时在休斯顿天文运动中心和附近的展会中心的2万5千名疏散者中的其中一部分。

They're not going to be make-work jobs, but jobs doing the work that America desperately needs done, jobs rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, repairing our dangerously deficient dams and levees so that we don't face another Katrina.

这计划并不是要为有工作职位而设职位，这些工作职位是为美国迫切需要做的工作而设的，这些工作重建我们毁坏的道路和桥梁，修理我们十分危险地有缺陷的水坝和堤坝；所以卡翠娜飓风的悲剧不会重演。

Ike first slammed into the Turks and Caicos and the southernmost Bahamas islands as a Category 4 hurricane, but thousands rode out the storm in shelters and there was no immediate word of deaths on the low-lying islands.

艾克首先以4级的强度袭击了土耳其和凯科斯群岛，以及巴哈马南部的大部风小岛，但是，数以千计的人在避难点躲过了飓风的侵袭，在这些低洼的岛国没有立即死亡的人数报告。

All woodwork, flooring and paneling have been refinished and the exterior repainted in the original white with green trim. A new roof, a prototype for other historical properties, was completed in 1996 and meets current hurricane specifications.

地板和门窗都重新用木工完成了，外面也重新用原始的白色和绿色的边粉刷了。1996年完成了其它历史建筑的原型的新屋顶，并有了防御现在飓风的详细说明。

Second, much of the blame for the wretched response to the hurricane belonged to Democrats: Louisiana's dithering governor, Kathleen Blanco, and the mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, who let school buses that could have been used to evacuate people sit idle until they were half-submerged.

其次，对于飓风的反应中，许多针对不幸民众发出的指责是来自民主党阵营的：路易斯安那的州长布兰科优柔寡断以及新奥尔良的市长雷？纳金让那些本可以用于疏散民众的校车晾着，直到他们半淹在水里才发动。

Asked if the president's decision to visit the tornado-stricken areas Saturday was influenced by the political fall-out from Hurricane Katrina, White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino said that was never part of the discussion.

当被问及总统星期六访问遭受龙卷风袭击地区的决定是否是由于受到卡特里娜飓风的政治影响而作出的的，白宫发言人Dana Perino表示这从来都不是讨论的内容。

Bell acknowledged that U.S. operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and the massive cleanup from Hurricane Katrina made it necessary for America to make sure U.S. troops in other parts of the world were well-supplied. But he said he was confident his troops had enough training and material.

Bell承认，美国目前在伊拉克、阿富汉的事务和清理Katrina飓风的影响，使得美国需要进一步确认在世界其他地区的部署是否得到了很好的支持（按：我的理解是他承认受到了一定的影响），但是他相信他的军队已经得到了足够的训练和物资。

Hurricane Jimena is expected to make landfall sometime tonight in Mexico, possibly as a strong Category 4 storm. The hurricane has winds near 155 miles an hour. Emergency workers are pleading with people in the line of the storm to pack up and head out of the area.

Jimena飓风预计在今晚登陆墨西哥，风力强度可能达到四级飓风，风速接近每小时155英里，紧急救助人员正劝说处于飓风经过区域的当地居民，收拾好东西撤离。

These areas are quite diverse: Huntsville benefits from an aerospace and defence legacy, as well as from military base realignments that will centralise several commands in the area; Mobile has ThyssenKrupp's plant as well as continued recovery from the effects of Hurricane Katrina; Auburn-Opelika has Auburn University, recipient of some $47m in stimulus money; and Phenix City abuts a large Kia plant in Georgia and is near Fort Benning, also due to grow thanks to base realignment.

这些地区都各具优势：亨茨维尔市受益于航天工业与国防，同时受益于军事基地的组建因而将在该地区处于主导地位；莫比尔市有蒂森克虏伯公司的工厂，同时在卡特里娜飓风的影响结束后经济得到持续恢复；奥本-欧佩莱卡市拥有奥本大学，能收到每年4700万美元的资金消费；而凤凰城毗邻位于乔治亚州的起亚公司的工厂，同时紧挨本宁堡，同时也得益于基地组建。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
