More than 1.7m households in New York and New Jersey remain without power nearly a week after Hurricane Sandy destroyed homes and knocked out power along the east coast as officials turn to the problems of finding long-term housing for tens of thousands of residents displaced by the storm.
在飓风桑迪导致美国东海岸地区房屋被毁和电力中断近一周后,纽约和新泽西逾170万户家庭依然断电。官员们将注意力转到为因风暴而流离失所的数万居民寻找长期住所的问题上。
Life is beginning to return to normal, with nearly all subway lines running and schools reopening today. The lights have come back on for about two-thirds, or 1.3m households, in New York.
生活开始恢复正常,几乎所有的地铁线路恢复运营,学校在今日复课。纽约大约三分之二的家庭(130万户)恢复了供电。
But the normality is deceptive as 730,000 residents, mostly on Long Island and in the Rockaways beach community, still have no power, heat or clean water.
但这种正常是虚假的,因为还有73万居民(大多位于长岛和Rockaways海边社区)仍然没有电力、供热或清洁水。
The need to restore power has become more urgent as temperatures drop and forecasters anticipate a second storm, with high winds landing midweek. City officials are urging people to head to warming stations around the area.
恢复电力变得更加紧迫,因为气温下降,气象预报人员预计将会有第二场风暴,本周中期会有大风。市政府官员们敦促人们前往附近有暖气的场所。
