LearnAndRecord 2022-07-26
近日,英国货车藏39尸惨案仍未查明之时,法国执法机构在例行检查中又一次发现在一辆冷藏货柜车(a refrigerated truck)中藏有8名自称来自阿富汗(Afghanistan)的非法移民,前往的目的地也是英国。

Eight migrants found alive in UK-bound refrigerated truck at Calais

Euronews

Eight migrants, including two children, have been found with hypothermia in a refrigerated truck at the cross-Channel port of Calais, the AFP news agency said.

注:Calais 加来(法国城市)


bound


bound表示“前往,开往”,英文解释为“If a vehicle or person is bound for a particular place, they are travelling toward it.”,通常用法:be bound for,举个🌰:

The train was bound for Hangzhou.

这火车是开往杭州的。



如果你留意的话,坐地铁时会有这个用法。例如上海地铁2号线上,经常会听到的:

本次列车终点站广兰路,到浦东国际机场方向的乘客请在广兰路换乘。The terminal station is Guanglan Road. You can transfer to the train bound for Pudong International Airport at Guanglan Road.


hypothermia


hypothermia /ˌhaɪpəʊˈθɜːmɪə/ 表示“(因持续寒冷而)体温过低”,英文解释为“a serious medical condition in which a person's body temperature falls below the usual level as a result of being in severe cold for a long time”举个🌰:

In this current cold spell, many old people are dying needlessly of hypothermia.

在现在这段寒流期间,很多老人都因为体温过低而无端丧生。



The rescued migrants, who say they are from Afghanistan, were found during an inspection of the truck before it was loaded on a ferry to Britain, according to the public prosecutor's office in Boulogne-sur-Mer.

注:Boulogne-sur-Mer is a city in northern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department of Pas-de-Calais.


The fire brigade said the group was treated for "mild hypothermia" and taken to hospital.


the fire brigade


表示“消防队;消防队员”,英文解释为“an organization of people who are trained and employed to put out fires and to rescue people from fires; the people who belong to this organization”,类似的于fire service/ fire department.


brigade本身有“(主张相同或其他某方面相似的)伙,帮,派”(sed, always with a word or phrase in front of it, to describe a group of people who share the same opinions or are similar in some other way)以及“旅(陆军编制单位)”(a large group of soldiers that forms a unit of an army)的含义,如:the anti-smoking brigade 反吸烟派。



Two Romanian drivers of the truck were taken into custody.


Essex truck deaths

The Calais discovery came days after the bodies of 39 people were found in a truck in Essex, UK.

Essex Police originally said those found in the lorry were "believed to be Chinese nationals", but after the Vietnamese Embassy in London said it had received calls from citizens fearing they had relatives on the truck, the force said that they could not "realistically speculate" on the nationality of the victims.

表示“保释,保释金”,英文解释为“Bail is a sum of money that an arrested person or someone else puts forward as a guarantee that the arrested person will attend their trial in a law court. If the arrested person does not attend it, the money will be lost.”举个🌰:

He was freed on bail pending an appeal.
