Many New Yorkers Saturday are still without critical resources, including power, heat and food, in the wake of the devastation caused by "superstorm" Sandy that thrashed the U.S. East Coast.

就在桑迪超级飓风重创美国东岸地区之后，许多纽约市民星期六仍然没有电，没有暖气，也缺乏食物。

Some New Yorkers were surprised that Mayor Michael Bloomberg had initially given the go-ahead for Sunday's New York Marathon, when so many of the city's residents are in dire need. Bloomberg reversed his decision Friday, saying he did not want a "cloud" to hang over the race or its participants.

一些纽约市民感到吃惊的是，彭博市长在许多纽约居民现在处于迫切需要时刻，却仍然决定按原计划举办星期日的纽约马拉松比赛。不过，彭博星期五改变了他最初的决定。

A New York newspaper says it discovered race officials were hoarding supplies for the race that could have been used for Sandy's victims.

纽约邮报报导说，他们发现马拉松比赛的官员为这次比赛囤积了一批物资，而这些物资本来可以用来援助这次风灾的灾民。

The New York Post said among the resources stashed away were 41 power generators that could have provided electricity for homes, hundreds of portable toilets, pallets of water and dozens of coffee brewers.

纽约邮报指出，在囤积的物资当中包括41个发电机。这些发电机可以用来为一些住宅发电。另外还有几百个临时厕所，饮用水等等。
