CNN News 印度首都新德里空气污染严重 美联航取消飞往新德里航班 20171122
In the Southeast Asian country of India, exhausts from old cars and motorcycles, pollutions from industries, dust smoke from cooking and fires from when farmers burn their crops double, all of this contributes to the 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.
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 . For those with flight tickets, United is offering travel waivers, to allow passengers to choose another flight without paying for the change.
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.
参考译文:
在南亚国家印度,老旧汽车和摩托车排放的废气、工业污染、烹饪食物产生的油烟以及农民燃烧农作物时加倍产生的火焰等,这一切都是印度首都新德里产生有毒空气污染的原因。目前新德里人口超过2500万,其中许多人都在遭受空气污染的影响,一名医生称污染状态相当于一天吸50支烟。
现在,美国联合航空公司已经取消飞往新德里的航班,原因是对糟糕的空气质量感到担心。至少周一这天,美联航没有航班在新德里降落,也没有航班从该地起飞或与该地有连接。美联航应对新德里空气情况的方法同其应对恶劣天气或火山爆发等事件的方法一样。美联航将为已购票乘客提供旅行豁免,使他们可以选择其他航班而不用支付改签费用。
新德里目前处于公共卫生紧急状态,学校关闭、从其他地方出发的火车不能进入首都、建设项目也已停工。污染对新德里来说并不陌生。可以说,污染已经是首都生活的一部分了,今年的这个时候尤为如此。但是这并不意味着当地居民可以习惯或是避免受苦。
