Brady, I really want to thank you for taking time to talk with us.
布雷迪，真的很感谢你能抽出时间和我们交谈。
I understand that it's been really hard to get in touch with, you know, people from the outside world.
我了解到，人们很难与外界的人取得联系。
Cell service has been spotty. There's limited to no Internet.
手机服务一直时好时坏。没法上网。
Can you just tell me a little bit about how difficult the communications have been?
你能跟我们说说与外界沟通有多困难吗？
Yeah. You know, in our modern world, it's a really strange feeling to be essentially cut off from the rest of the world.
好的。在现代世界， 彻彻底底与外界隔绝，这种感觉很奇怪。
And that, for me, has kind of come and gone as I've gone in and out of the worst parts of the hurricane zone here.
对我来说，在我进出受飓风影响最严重地区之间时，这种断联的感觉时隐时现。
But for many people, it's just basically a blackout.
不过对多数人来说，只是遇到了停电问题而已。
Like, I'll go into these towns and communities and find that the people there have no idea what might have happened 2 or 3 miles, 4 miles away.
比如，我会走进这些城镇和社区，发现那里的人们不知道2、3英里外、4英里外会发生什么。
And then, when I do leave to go file stories or, you know, reach back out to folks outside, I find that people are desperately trying to find their friends and family where the hurricane hit.
然后，在我离开这些地方，去归档报道，或联系外面的人时，会发现人们正在拼命寻找被飓风袭击的朋友和家人。
They don't always know where they are, whether they're safe, whether they left.
他们有时会不知道自己在哪里，不知道自己是否安全，是否要离开。
It's definitely been really sort of, like, a key factor of the last few days here -- just this desperation to know more and to check on people you love.
过去几天，这绝对是一个非常重要的因素--这种迫切想要知道更多信息和确认你爱的人是否安全的渴望。
Before we get more into hearing from the people you've spoken to in the past few days in your reporting on the ground in North Carolina, can you walk me through the path that Hurricane Helene took?
在我们进一步了解你过去几天在北卡罗来纳州实地报道时采访的人们之前，能不能跟我们说一下飓风海伦妮的途经路线？
When it made landfall, where that happened, and where did it go from there?
它什么时候登陆的，起源于哪里，从那里又去了哪里？
The storm came ashore in the Big Bend area of Florida.
这场飓风在佛罗里达州的大本德地区登陆。
Hurricane Helene ravaging the coastline, the strongest on record ever to hit the Big Bend area of Florida, coming ashore tonight as a monster Category 4 storm.
飓风海伦妮肆虐了海岸线，今晚它以怪物般的4级风暴形式登陆，这是有记录以来袭击佛罗里达州大本德地区的最强飓风。
It was moving fast, and so it kind of just barreled up through that part of Florida and into Georgia, past, you know, Atlanta, up around, you know, Greenville/Spartanburg area of South Carolina, and then just smacked into this -- into these mountains of Western North Carolina, and I should say also Tennessee, Eastern Tennessee.
它移动得很快，肆虐穿过佛罗里达州，进入佐治亚州，经过亚特兰大，到达南卡罗来纳州的格林维尔/斯帕坦堡地区，然后就进入了北卡罗来纳州西部的这些山脉地区，还有田纳西州东部的这些地区。
In Tennessee, catastrophic stormwater raging downstream. More than 30 people still missing.
在田纳西州，灾难性的暴雨肆虐涌向了下游。仍有30多人下落不明。
And I believe also parts of Virginia.
我相信弗吉尼亚州的部分地区也是如此。
We're obviously still grappling with, you know, how far-reaching the effects are.
显然，我们还在努力解决它那极其深远的影响。
But one thing is that it really moved fast, except it dumped a lot of rain here on a place that had already seen a lot of rain.
但有一点是，它真的移动得很快，它给这个已经下过很多雨的地方再次带来了大量降雨。
And all of those factors together were just, you know, obviously overwhelming.
所有这些因素加在一起，真的是让人难以承受。
