时间：2019-02-02 作者：英语课 分类：英语新闻视频
Some residents in West New York are calling it a miracle on 60th Street and Bergenline Avenue. A tree that some say resembles the Virgin 1 Mary. And onlookers 2 in the New Jersey 3 city that lies just a few miles outside of Manhattan are finding hope and faith in the image that was discovered by a woman who was passing by. The site was enough to bring West New York resident Nelly Guerrero to tears. (SOUNDBITE) Nelly Guerrero, West New York resident, saying (Spanish): "I feel very emotional and very happy. This is a miracle that I think has come here to West New York 'cause. there's a lot of delinquents 4, many crimes. One cannot go out at night because this is terrible." Alfonso Montiel says the tree is only a product of nature, but people's faith is what gives the symbol meaning. (SOUNDBITE) Alfonso Montiel, West New York resident, saying (English): "I think it's the belief of people. It's not really, it's something like that. It's what people feel, the faith of people." But Mary Alnodovar insists that it's a miracle. (SOUNDBITE) Mary Alnodovar, West New York resident, saying: "I've been here for many years. I've never seen this before. And I always pass through here. Nothing happen like this. That's why I got surprised and I tell my friend, 'You got to go. You got to go and see.' It's not a lie. It's true what you see over there." Others believe that the symbol is a message sent from the Virgin Mary and people who pass by should not talk, but listen. Kilmeny Duchardt, Reuters.
参考译文:在Bergenline大道60街，一些纽约当地的居民称这是个奇迹。一棵树有人说很像圣母玛利亚。一位路过的妇女发现了这副画像，在曼哈顿外仅几英里外的新泽西市，旁观者正在这副图像中寻找希望和信仰。图像所处的位置足以使西纽约居民Nelly Guerrero泪流满面。Nelly Guerrero说：“我非常激动，非常开心，这是一个奇迹，我想这是圣母玛利亚来到西纽约的原因，这里有许多的违法犯罪。晚上一个人不敢出门，因为这太可怕了。”Alfonso Montiel称这颗树只是自然的产物，只是人们的信仰赋予了图像特殊的意愿。西纽约居民Alfonso Montiel说：“我认为这是人们的信念，现实不存在的。这是人们的感觉，人们的信仰。”但Mary Alnodovar坚持称这是一个奇迹。西纽约居民Alnodovar说：“我来这里很多年了。我之前从没看到这个。我经常路过这里。并没有这图像。这就是我惊讶并告诉我朋友的原因，（她对朋友说）你应该去，你应该去看一下。这不是撒谎。你在那边看到的是事实。”有的人相信这个标记是圣母玛利亚传达的一个信息，路过的人不应该谈论，只需要聆听。
