场景：小红在听小华讲述新闻后，决定把这则新闻作为一个日常练笔写在日记本上。
It's an active volcano. It's erupting now, orange flames flashing near the crater and dark smoke with ash billowing high above the mountaintop. And large rocks fell from the Sakurajima volcano.
这是一座活火山。现在正在爆发。橙色的火焰在火山口附近闪烁，黑色的烟雾和火山灰在山顶上翻腾。巨大的岩石从樱岛火山上落下。
This is what we can see from the footage of television. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported. Schools in the area are closed. Dozens of people have evacuated from the towns and 33 of them left their homes for a nursing care facility in a safer part of the region.
这是我们可以从电视镜头中看到的场景。幸运的是，没有人员伤亡报告。该地区的学校已经关闭。数十人已从城镇撤离，其中33人离开家园，前往该地区较安全地区的一家护理机构。
Local authorities said, “We will put the people's lives first and do our utmost to assess the situation and respond to any emergency. ” The chances of more explosive violent eruptions were low, but residents still should be watchful for falling rocks and mudslide.
当地政府表示:“我们将把人民的生命放在第一位，尽最大努力评估形势，应对任何紧急情况。”爆发更猛烈火山喷发的可能性很低，但居民仍应警惕坠落的岩石和泥石流。
Well, people are vulnerable in natural disasters. In a disaster, you face the danger of death or physical injury. You may also lose your home, possessions, and community. Such stressors place you at risk for emotional and physical health problems. I hope that everything goes well.
人们在自然灾害中很脆弱。在灾难中，你面临着死亡或身体受伤的危险。你也可能失去你的家，财产和社区。这些压力源会使你面临情绪和身体健康问题的风险。
我希望一切顺利。
