About one million young pilgrims have braved a day of ferocious heat to join Pope Benedict at an open-air prayer vigil on the outskirts of the Spanish capital Madrid. At least 900 people required medical treatment as the temperature neared 40C. The Pope is visiting Spain to celebrate World Youth Day, a festival bringing together pilgrims from countries around the world. From Madrid, Sarah Rainsford.

大约100万年轻的朝圣者冒着炎热前往西班牙首都马德里郊区，与教皇本笃一起参加露天守夜祈祷。由于气温接近40度，至少900人需要医治。

Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims have been flocking there all day, many of them waiting up to 12 hours in the blistering heat just to be at this event. There were fire engines driving through the crowds and spraying them with water to try to keep the temperatures down, but it couldn't keep the excitement down. It's an extremely excited vast crowd and, just now, waiting to hear from the Pope. There's just been a group of young people who asked questions of the Pope and that was expecting the beginning of the vigil, which will lead overnight into the Mass tomorrow morning, the culmination of this entire four-day visit.
