AZUZ: In the Coral Sea off the eastern coast of Australia, a U.S. battleship has been observedfor the first time since it was sunk during World War II. These are the remains 1 of the USSLexington, also known as Lady Lex. It's one of the first aircraft carriers ever built and it tookpart in what's considered the first carrier battle, the Battle of the Coral Sea. It was an alliedvictory over the forces of Japan, even though the USS Lexington eventually sank after beinghit by a bombardment of Japanese torpedoes 2. Other U.S. ships in the area were able to rescue more than 2,000 sailors from Lady Lex. Twohundred sixteen members of its crew were lost, along with 35 aircraft that were aboard it.The ship is relatively 3 well-preserved, and because it's considered a war grave by the U.S. Navy, it will not be raised from its resting place two miles below the ocean surface. It waslocated by a team of explorers led by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.


阿祖兹:在澳大利亚东海岸附近的珊瑚海,一艘在二战时期沉没的美国战舰首次被发现。这些是美国航空母舰“列克星敦”号的残骸,该航母也被称为“列太太”。这艘航空母舰是美国海军最早建造的航母之一,它参加了被认为是史上首次航母大战的珊瑚海之战。美国航空母舰“列克星敦”号帮助盟军战胜了日本部队,但是在日军的鱼雷轰炸中被击中并最终沉没。当时在该区域的其他美国船只从“列太太”号上救出了2000多名水手。舰上216名海员和35架飞机失踪。这艘航母相对来说保存完好,由于其被认为是美国海军的战争公墓,所以该航母不会从其在海底的安息之地被打捞上来。这艘航母是由微软联合创始人保罗?艾伦领导的探索团队发现的。


Schools in the U.S. state of West Virginia are expected to be back in session as early as Wednesday, following a nine-day strike by teachers and school staff. It started on February 22nd when 20,000 teachers walked out of schools. They were demonstrating for higher wages and better benefits, particularly concerning a state employee health insurance program. The state's governor, Jim Justice, agreed to set up a task force to look into that program. Meantime, he signed a bill on Tuesday that gives a 5 percent pay raise to all state employees. That includes teachers and school staff. A state senator says it's the largest pay raise in West Virginia's history, and that it only paid for by reducing government spending on other programs. Some state legislators are concerned about that. The National Education said before the pay raise that West Virginia ranked 48th out of the 50 states in what it paid teachers.


美国西弗吉尼亚州学校最早将于周三重新开课,此前教师和学校职员进行了为期9天的罢工。罢工从2月22日开始,2万名教师离开学校。教职员工举行示威,要求提高工资和更好的福利待遇,他们尤为关注州雇员健康保险计划。该州州长吉姆?贾斯提斯同意成立工作小组调查该计划。同时,他于周二签署法案,给所有州雇员涨薪5%。涨薪人员包括教师和学校职工。一名州参议员表示,这是西弗吉尼亚州史上最大幅度涨薪,这笔支出只能通过缩减其他项目的政府支出来提供。一些州议员对此感到担心。美国全国教育协会此前指出,西弗吉尼亚州教师的收入在全美50个州中排名第48位。
