In the day's other news：A monstrous explosion shook Beirut, Lebanon, and shattered much of the city's port.The health minister reported that at least 70 dead and more than 3, 000 injured.Video showed an enormous blast and shockwave that damaged buildings miles away.Officials said that 2, 700 tons of ammonium nitrate blew up.Special correspondent Rebecca Collard is in Beirut. She spoke with us a short while ago.Rebecca, thank you so much for talking with us. So, what exactly is known about what happened?Well, actually, Judy, a lot is still not known about what happened today.The initial report said that this was some sort of a fireworks cache that was being held in a port that caught fire.But I can tell you, where I am now…and I'm very close to my apartment…we're miles from the blast site, and even here, you can see we have almost no electricity.Many of the buildings here that are even more than a dozen stories high have the top windows blown out.The walls are off of things. There is glass all over the street.So, the most recent thing that we have heard now is that there was some sort of chemical being that was held in that facility.And that chemical caught fire. And because of that, we saw this massive explosion,and we're really talking, if you look at these photos, this video of the explosion, a massive explosion,then, afterwards, this huge plume of smoke coming from this area in Beirut's port.And as you describe, massive aftereffect, loss of life, so many injuries, we're hearing.
在今日新闻里，一场巨大的爆炸震撼了黎巴嫩贝鲁特，摧毁了该市的大部分港口。卫生部长报告称该爆炸导致至少70人死亡以及3000多人受伤。视频显示，巨大的爆炸和冲击波毁坏了几英里之外的建筑。相关官员表示有2700吨硝酸铵爆炸。特别记者丽贝卡・科拉德在贝鲁特为我们报道，她此前和我们连线。丽贝卡，非常感谢和我们连线，那么，情况究竟是怎样的呢？嗯，其实，朱迪，关于今天发生的事情还有很多信息不太明了。报告最初称是一些放置在港口的烟花导致了此次爆炸，不过我可以告诉你，我现在所在的地方……这里离我的公寓很近，距离爆炸地点几英里，即使这么远的距离，你可以看到，这边的电已经停了，这里的一些甚至有十多层楼高的建筑顶层的窗户都被炸毁了，墙上也在掉东西，街道上到处都是玻璃。所以，我们目前听到的最新消息是，那个设施里有某种化学物质，而该化学物质起火了，正因如此，我们看到了这次的大爆炸。我们一直在谈论，如果你看了这些照片的话，还有这次爆炸的视频，真的是一场大爆炸，之后，巨大的浓烟从贝鲁特港口这边冒了出来。正如你所描述的，巨大的余波，很多人受伤，请继续。
