Let`s get started. One of the biggest stories we`ve covered this academic year centers on the millions of migrants and refugees streaming into Europe, the most since World War II. Some are leaving war-torn countries behind them. Some are running from terrorists and their control. Some are just looking for a better life than their home countries have to offer.
节目开始，今年我们关注的最重要的事件之一就是难民和移民涌入欧洲，这是自第二次世界大战以来，人口最多的一次。这些人们离开了被战争摧残的家园，有些人是为了摆脱恐怖分子的控制，而另外一些人是为了追求更加美好的生活。
Many of these people are trying to get to Europe by cross the Mediterranean 1 Sea. It`s dangerous. They`re often overloaded 2 on small botes and over the past week, at least 65 people have died trying to cross. But hundreds are still missing from several shipwrecks 3. And officials are afraid that more than 700 lives might have been lost.
很多人试图跨越地中海到达欧洲。这非常的危险。在过去的数周，这些人经常乘坐过载的小船，在试图横跨地中海期间，至少有65人丧生。但是由于沉船事件，数百人还下落不明。官员们表示，丧生人员的数目可能已经超过了700人。
It could have been worst. Italian authorities say they`ve rescued more than 14,000 people in the Mediterranean, just in the past week. The overcrowded boats aren`t the only thing officials have to watch for.
结果非常的糟糕。意大利当局表示仅在过去一周，他们就从地中海中救出了14,000余人。官员们需要关注的并不仅仅是那拥挤的小船。
The route from Libya to Europe across these waters is really exploding, especially since Greece and Turkey cracked down on their shores. You could be talking about 100,000 people trying to cross the Mediterranean.
自从希腊和土耳其海岸不设防之后，通过水路从利比亚到达欧洲，这条路线非常的火爆。大约有10万余人试图穿越地中海到达欧洲。
But that`s not the only problem. ISIS are trying to get in on it.
但是这并不是唯一的问题。IS企图从中干扰。
