【双语有声阅读】沙尘暴(2)

In April of this year, a dust storm that originated in China and Mongolia took a six-day journey across more than ten thousand kilometers of sea and open land to Arizona in the United States. The cloud was so dense¹ that it seemed as if the sun were setting early. At least one person thought a volcano had erupted.

 

今年四月，源自中国大陆及蒙古内陆的沙尘暴，在六天中跨越了一万多公里的海洋与空旷陆地，最后到达美国亚利桑那州。阴云密布，就象太阳将提早要下山，有人居然以为是火山爆发了。
