Well, day nine of the battle between Israel and militants¹ in Gaza has come and gone with still no sign of a cease-fire.

以色列和加沙武装分子之间的战斗已经进行到第9天了，但是仍然没有停火的迹象。

Late today, another barrage² of rockets was fired from Gaza into Israel. Overall, the two sides report more than 200 Palestinians and a dozen Israelis killed to date.

今天晚些时候，加沙向以色列发射了新一轮火箭弹。双方报告说，到目前为止，共有200多名巴勒斯坦人和12名以色列人被杀，

And at least one person died today in the West Bank. John Yang has our report.

今天在约旦河西岸至少有一人死亡。请听约翰·杨的报道。

In Israel and the West Bank, streets normally bustling³ with activity were empty today,

在以色列和约旦河西岸，平常熙熙攘攘的街道今天空无一人，

as Palestinians went on a general strike, an unusual joint⁴ action to show solidarity⁵ with Gaza and to protest their own treatment by Israel.

因为巴勒斯坦人举行了大罢工，这是一次不同寻常的联合行动，目的是为显示对加沙的团结并抗议以色列对他们的待遇。

The strike is a must on all of us, as youth, to take part in this strike, to stop working for at least a day, to create some change in Jerusalem and the country.

对于我们所有的年轻人来说，罢工是必须的，要参加罢工，至少要停止工作一天，为耶路撒冷和这个国家创造一些改变。

Hundreds of thousands gathered in central squares, waving Palestinian flags.

成千上万的人聚集在中心广场，挥舞着巴勒斯坦国旗。

This is reflecting the common struggle of Palestinians, not only against apartheid, but it is also a voice of solidarity with our people who are being bombarded now in Gaza.

这反映了巴勒斯坦人的共同斗争，不仅是反对种族隔离，而且也是在声援现在在加沙遭到轰炸的人民的声音。

Tensions flared⁶ when Israeli soldiers moved to disperse⁷ crowds. On the West Bank, they fired tear gas canisters at protesters who had been burning tires.

今天早上，加沙城一所大学的课桌、椅子和书籍散落在一堆瓦砾当中。隔壁，贾马尔·赫尔扎拉和他的家人正在清理被破坏的房屋。

Israeli forces had given them five minutes' notice of the attack, just enough time to escape.

以色列军队给了他们五分钟的进攻预警时间，刚好够他们逃跑。

What's this at the hour of 5:30 in the morning? The people were still sleeping. The planes struck the street, our lives. We had no idea where we wanted to go or where to run.

早上五点半是什么时间？人们还在睡觉。飞机袭击了街道，袭击了我们的生命。我们不知道自己想去哪儿，也不知道该跑到哪儿。

In Rafah, to the south, residents said an Israeli tank shell started a massive fire at a paint factory.

在南部的拉法，居民称以色列坦克炮弹在一家油漆厂引发了大火。

Two million Palestinians in Gaza have been caught in a crossfire¹³ that broke out last week when Hamas,

上周，控制加沙地带的哈马斯开始向以色列发射火箭弹，

which controls the territory, began firing rockets into Israel. Israeli officials say they are acting¹⁴ to protect Israelis.

导致加沙地带200万巴勒斯坦人陷入交火。以色列官员说，他们采取行动是为了保护以色列人。

That's the focus, to degrade the capabilities¹⁵ of Hamas and Islamic Jihad so that, in the future they will pose less of a threat against Israeli civilians¹⁶.

重点是削弱哈马斯和伊斯兰圣战组织的能力，这样他们在未来就不会对以色列平民构成威胁。

There's still a lot of work in terms of their underground infrastructure¹⁷ and in terms of the capacity to fire rockets.

他们在地下基础设施和发射火箭的能力方面还需提高。

At this stage, still, unfortunately, if Hamas decides to fire rockets at Tel Aviv, unfortunately, they still have the capacity to do so.

不幸的是，在这个阶段，如果哈马斯决定向特拉维夫发射火箭，不幸的是，他们还是有能力的。

Explosions in Gaza City roared through the night, as flashes from Hamas' rockets fired toward Israel illuminated¹⁸ the sky.

加沙城的爆炸声响彻夜空，哈马斯向以色列发射的火箭弹照亮了天空。

Israel said they tallied¹⁹ up to 90 rockets fired, though 20 of them fell short into Gaza and many more were intercepted²⁰ by Israel's anti-missile defense²¹ system.

以色列表示他们总共发射了90枚火箭弹，但其中有20枚落入加沙，其它的则被以色列的反导防御系统拦截。

Rockets that did get through this afternoon struck a farm in Southern Israel. Police said two Thai workers were killed.

今天下午发射的火箭弹袭击了以色列南部的一个农场。警方说，两名泰国工人被打死。

And a building in the coastal²² city of Ashdod also suffered a hit, more violence as international efforts to broker²³ peace stalled again.

沿海城市阿什杜德的一座建筑也遭到了袭击，更多暴力事件频发，国际社会斡旋和平的努力再次陷入僵局。

在访问丹麦期间，美国国务卿布林肯说，幕后的外交努力正在进行。

Our goal remains²⁵ to bring the current cycle of violence to an end as quickly as possible and then bring the parties back to the work of building lasting²⁶ stability.

我们的目标仍是尽快结束目前的暴力循环，然后让各方回到建设持久稳定的工作中来。

A goal that doesn't appear to be in sight, as Israeli military officials say they expect operations in Gaza to continue for days to come. For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm John Yang.
