“卡特里娜”飓风走了,它留给美国的是重创:上千人死亡,著名工业城市新奥尔良几乎浸泡在海水中,城市瘫痪,百万人流离失所,经济损失超过250亿美元……这是美国历史上罕见的灾难。有人把这次飓风灾害与去年底发生的印度洋海啸相比,称之为“美国的海啸”,也有人说这是“天灾9·11”。 The hurricane Katrina left the United States hit hard: thousands of people died, the well-known industrial city of New Orleans nearly soaked in seawater, the city was paralyzed, millions were displaced and the economic losses exceeded 250 billion U.S. dollars ... It is a rare disaster in American history. Some people call this hurricane disaster an end to the Indian Ocean tsunami late last year, calling it a “tsunami in the United States.” Others said it was “natural disaster 9.11.”
