Sochi games enveloped in fog
索契冬奥会被大雾笼罩
First there were the unusually warm temperatures that seemed to be wreaking havoc on different venues, now there's fog --- thick, thick fog that seems to swallow up everything around it.
起初,罕见的温暖天气给不同的比赛场地带来严重破坏 。现在,大雾又笼罩了周围的一切 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) INTERNATIONAL SKI FEDERATION INSPECTOR, PETER KROGOLL, SAYING: "Because it was foggy the visibility was really low, so we only had about 20 to 30 meters visibility and so it was really unsafe to have any competitions today going on."
国际滑雪联合会检查员PETER KROGOLL:“由于大雾非常严重,能见度很低,只有20至30米,今天进行任何比赛都非常不安全 。”
It was so dense, in fact, that Olympic officials were forced to cancel the men's biathlon for a second day in a row. Throughout the day, athletes and journalists complained about the low visibility. Later in the day, officials said they were scrapping the day's snowboard cross competition, as well, while they wait for the air to clear.
实际上,大雾非常浓厚,奥运会官员连续第二天被迫取消男子组冬季两项比赛 。一天之中,运动员和记者们都抱怨糟糕的能见度 。晚些时候,官员们表示,当天他们又取消了单板滑雪越野赛,等待空气变好 。

12 illegal miners rescued in South Africa, others stay underground
南非12名非法矿工获救
A dozen South African illegal miners are brought to the surface Sunday after being trapped in an abandoned gold mine near Johannesburg. They were never supposed to go into the mine.
周日,被困约翰内斯堡附近一个废弃的金矿的12名南非非法矿工被救回地面 。他们原本不应该进入这座矿井 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) HEAD OF DISASTER AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES, MOSHIMA MOSIYA, SAYING; "This was a closed shaft, it was closed with concrete slabs, deliberately so to prevent people from entering, but they have somehow to open up a hole on the site and currently I think we are able to talk to the people that are trapped inside. We are enlarging the hole so that we can able to lift them out of the shaft."
灾难管理部门主管MOSHIMA MOSIYA:“这是一个关闭的通风井,已经用水泥板封闭了,就是为了防止有人进来 。但是他们不知怎么在这里打开了一个洞 。现在我们能够跟被困井下的人对话了 。我们将这个洞扩大,把他们从矿井中升上来 。”
Authorities say an unknown number remain underground -- and may fear arrest. Those brought to the surface were checked by medics and then handed over to the police. Illegal mining of abandoned shafts is common in South Africa. The miners often live underground in dangerous and precarious conditions. Fatal accidents are common, and underground battles between rival groups have also been reported. As the rescue operations end for the day -- there are no immediate reports of death or injury.
当局表示,仍有未知数量的矿工被困井下,他们可能担心被逮捕 。被救回地面的矿工接受了医疗检查,然后被移交给警方 。非法开采废弃矿井在南非非常普遍 。矿工们经常生活在地下危险的环境中 。致命事故非常普遍,敌对团体之间也经常在地下爆发打斗 。当天的救援行动结束时,还没有人员伤亡报道 。
