The Pacific Island nation of Japan sees about 1500 tremors every year, one of them shook the central part of the country on Saturday night. Japan`s meteorological agency says it was magnitude 6.8. The U.S. Geological Survey put it at magnitude 6.2. Either way, it was strong. The quake injured dozens of people, at least seven of them seriously.
太平洋島嶼國家日本每年會發生約1500個地震，其中一個於星期六晚上發生在日本中心，日本氣象局表示此地震規模為6.8，而美國地質測量推定規模為6.2，總之，此地震很強烈，使許多人受傷，至少有七個人傷勢很嚴重。
It was centered in a remote area of the mountains, and it
seriously damaged or destroyed
several structures at the ski resort. Also, landslides. They flattened houses,
have blocked warped roadways. There have been aftershocks as well, one of them
measuring magnitude 4.1. But now tsunami warnings were given, and 21
people who`ve been trapped in their homes were rescued.
此地震集中在山區的偏遠地帶，因此損害、摧毀了許多滑雪勝地的構造。除此之外，還有山崩，摧毀了房屋並阻擋了彎曲的道路。也會發生許多餘震，其中一個餘震達到規模4.1的強度。現在發布了海嘯警報，有21名受困於住家的民眾已經被援救。

Across the Pacific now, to an American city hit by another natural disaster. Lake effect snow. And if that doesn`t sound disastrous, get a look at what it did to Buffalo, New York last week. Some spots got 86 inches of snow, a whole year`s worth in just three days.
跨越太平洋，美國的一個城市被另一個自然災害襲擊，那就是湖面效應暴雪。如果這聽起來不具災難性，就來看看上星期紐約州水牛城發生了甚麼事，某些地區達到了86英吋的降雪量，相當於在三天之內達到了一整年的降雪量。
A resident says people came together to help one another in
the city of good neighbors, but there`s another threat now, one that New York`s
governor says it worse than the snow.
一位居民表示大家會一起互相幫忙，但現在有另一個威脅出現，紐約州長表示會比積雪還要糟糕。

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE影片開始)
ALEXANDRA FIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: So much snow out here, in and around the city of Buffalo, but Governor Andrew Cuomo is saying that he is satisfied with the progress that they are making in the snow removal operation. Now, a number of state officials here in western New York, and they are preparing for another possibility: severe flooding that governor has warned this area can see more significant flooding than it`s seen in a very long time. The forecast calls for the temperature to warm up over the next several days. If it happens as quickly as it`s forecast to do, that`s when you can see some really serious flooding.
CNN特派記者ALEXANDRA FIELD：這裡有太多的積雪在水牛城裡及周圍，但州長Andrew
Cuomo表示他對制定除雪計畫的進展感到滿意。現在，一些紐約西部的官員正在準備另一個可能發生的事：州長警告此地區可能發生比起很久以前更嚴重的洪水。預報表示在未來這幾天內溫度會升高，如果此現象發生的速度比預測的快，就會看到許多非常嚴重的洪水發生。
Man power is being brought to this part of the state along with resources. 500 National Guards men and women are in place ready to respond if needed. On top of that more than 50 swiftwater rescue boats and crews. There are also high axel vehicles that could go into several feet of water in order to make rescues if necessary.
此地區的勞動力正隨著資源在增加，已經有500名美國國民警衛隊準備好在需要的時候出動，再加上有超過50個急流救助船隻及組員，以及能進入數英呎深水中進行救援的高軸車輛。
Hundreds of pumps have been
brought in in the
anticipation of potential flooding, and also 176,000 sandbags. Everyone here is
hoping that that temperature rise will happen more gradually, and that
officials will be able to get more snow out of the area before
flooding becomes a big problem.
數百個唧筒和176,000個沙袋已經被引進，以防範可能發生的洪水，大家都希望溫度的上升能呈現較逐步的狀態，這樣官員就能在洪水變成重大問題前，將更多的積雪從此地區移除。

But in the meantime, home owners are working really hard to stay ahead of the game here. There is some rain in the forecast, so people are trying to get the shovels out, get the snow off the roof. They don`t want that rain to combine with the snow, that`s when you see more roofs collapsing. Already in the last few days, several dozen roofs have collapsed. We know that if more rain comes, that will put more homes in danger.
但同時，屋主正在為了戰勝這個災難而非常努力著，預報顯示會有許多降雨，因此，屋主正在試著將雪鏟離屋頂，他們不希望雨和雪結合，而導致屋頂崩塌，在過去這幾天內，已經有許多屋頂塌陷，如果接下來有更多的降雨，將會使更多家庭遭受危險。

[SHOUT OUT]
AZUZ: Time for "The Shoutout." In the business world, what colors
associated with making a profit? If you think you know it, shout it out! Is it
green, red, black or blue? You`ve got three seconds, go! When a business is in
the black, it means it`s making a profit. That`s your answer and that`s your
shoutout.
AZUZ:到了” The Shoutout”單元的時間。在商業的世界裡，甚麼顏色與創造利潤有關聯？如果你覺得你知道，就大聲的講出來！是綠色、紅色、黑色或是藍色？你有三秒鐘，開始吧！當商業呈現黑色的，就代表它能創造利潤，這是你的答案，這就是你的shoutout。

That`s where the term Black Friday comes from. It`s the day after Thanksgiving, and it`s a massive shopping day in the U.S. So much so that retail stores and chains are hoping that`s the day that puts them in the black for the year. As this Black Friday approaches, U.S. consumer confidence is up. According to recent polls, that can mean people are more optimistic about the economy. Something else may fuel their spending.
這就是黑色星期五的名稱由來。這個日子是在感恩節之後，並且在美國是個大量消費的日子，因為數量太多，所以零售商和連鎖店都希望這是一年當中能讓他們創造利潤的日子。隨著黑色星期五的接近，美國消費者的信任增加，根據最近的民意調查，這可以表示人們對於經濟狀況越來越樂觀，別的東西可能會刺激他們的消費。
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE影片開始)
CRISTINA ALESCI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: With Thanksgiving around the corner, retailers are gearing up for a battle. And here is why: stores can make up to 40 percent of their annual profits in just the last six weeks of the year. But there`s a problem these days.
CNN特派記者CRISTINA ALESCI：隨著感恩節即將來臨，零售商們正準備著這場戰役，這就是為甚麼：商店可以在一年當中最後短短六周內創造近40%的年利潤，但是近期產生了一個問題。
The shopping holiday season isn`t what it
once was. In 2004, sales grew nearly seven percent. In 2013, the sales increase
was less than half that. This year retailers have a little bit of
a unique opportunity. Low gas prices. People have a little extra spending
money. So, with billions of dollars at stake, here are a few strategies that
brick and mortar stores are using to get a piece of the action:
購物假期季不像過去，在2004年，銷售額成長了將近7%，但在2013年，銷售額的增加已經小於之前的一半，而今年，零售商有少許特別的機會，那就是低油價，人們有一點額外的零用錢，因此，面臨賺取數十億美元的成敗關鍵，這些是實體企業用來獲取利益的一些策略：
one, retailers are
rolling out promotions early. More people are shopping in November, before
Black Friday. So, names like Target are promoting pre- Black Friday sales.
And K-Mart and RadioShack are opening stores on Thanksgiving morning.
第一，零售商們提早展開促銷。有更多的人在11月，也就是黑色星期五前購物，所以像是Target，就進行黑色星期五前促銷，而K-Mart和RadioShack則是在感恩節早上就開店。
Two, minimize wait times. Stores are increasing staff and mobile checkouts. The fact is, shoppers are more valuable than ever before. So, stores are really working hard to keep them happy.
第二，將等待時間最小化。店家增加了員工以及移動式付款，事實上，顧客比以前任何時候都還要更有價值，因此，店家真的很努力的在使他們感到開心。
Three, focus on online sales. Researcher NPD Group says 60 percent of consumers plan to shop online this year. So, expect more special online and mobile deal, and fewer shipping fees, but at the end of the day, these tactics can only go so far.
第三，專注於網路銷售。研究機構NPD Group(National Purchase Diary)表示百分之六十的消奮者計劃今年要上網購物，所以，預期更特殊的線上或手機上的交易還有更少的運費，但說到底，這些策略最多也是如此而已。
Ultimately, what people spend
and where they spend it, comes down to a feeling how they feel about their
job, the economy, and how much money is in their pocket. In New York, I`m Cristina Alesci.
最後，人們所花的和他們把錢花在什麼地方，追根究底還是在反映他們對他們的工作、經濟的感受和在他們的口袋裡有多少錢，

HERRERA：是有所改變了，是的，彈指之間，你知道，一個方向它原本可能會完全閃過我，而另一個方向，它(子彈)可能已經直奔我的心臟，並殺了我。
LAH (voice over): Months of rehabilitation would follow. A new battle for the officer adjusting to being completely paralyzed from the chest down.
LAH( 旁白)：接下來是幾個月的復健，因為中槍倒下【雙關-1】而造成完全的癱瘓成為這位軍官要適應的一場新戰役。

HERRERA：我每天都戴著它就為了試著提醒我自己並試著有一個小小的能看得見的會令我憶起這些人所做出的犧牲的東西。

[BEFORE WE GO]
Miso isn`t just a cheese, it`s the name of a dog whose owner call a goofy silly weirdo. So in point, doorways. He doesn`t walk into a bedroom the traditional way. He backs himself in that will give you a pause.
味噌不僅僅是一種乳酪，它是一個被主人認為是又傻又蠢的怪狗的名字，那麼舉例來說，門口，牠並不是以傳統的方式走進寢室，牠倒退進入會讓你停下來想一想。
There are no signs of abuse
in case of his past, and his owners don`t think it`s the actual doorway
that troubles him. They think it`s the transition between the hardwood floor
and the carpet. When he leaves the room, he does it face first.
在過去他並沒有被虐待的跡象，而他的主人不認為事實上是門口讓它困擾，他們認為是硬木地板和地毯之間轉換(困擾著它)，當他離開那個房間的時候，它是以正面出去。
OK, so, what do you say about
that? That he doesn`t adore doorways that he just wants a little backup, that
he`s got a little too much swag. Maybe putting his back foot forward is
his best foot footward to embark a foot upon a floor upon all fours of
backwards. Too late to back out now. I`m Carl Azuz for CNN STUDENT NEWS.
好的，所以，你怎麼看呢？牠不喜歡門口，門口讓他想要倒退【雙關-2】讓他多了點搖搖晃晃，或許後腳在前是讓它能夠把腳踏上木板、用四隻腳向後倒退【雙關-3】的最佳姿態，現在退出已經太晚了，我是Carl Azuz在CNN STUDENT NEWS。
