雖然只有14天空閒, 不過還是找些東西來看看。
所以來記錄一下, 我覺得可以注意的 一些短句或詞語的使用或理解。
是用意譯的
英文是在大學時候才開始學。只懂專業範疇那些。
所以各位的英文應該都比我好。
我還要花一些時間才讀完這個。

Ahead of 在OO之前, 所以這裡說是說在 狂風要來 之前, (狂風還沒來, 所以有說 寫這文章時的現在), 後面會說 有些事情已經做了 是指 控制火勢的進展, 然後 made in stopping in spread ...... 就是 那個動作就是為了 想阻礙火勢(句尾那幾個提及了的地方)擴大

containing 除了是表示 含有, 在這情況是指「遏制」的說
disastrous 就 形容 事情 是 很嚴重到 變成災害的 說,
然後在說 當局在提醒 那個風很麻煩, 因為影響範圍會波及整個LA
threat 就指上述的東西

contained 第二次被使用了www
when the wind speeds are likely to peak 就是當風速可能到峰頭的時候
Topanga Canyon resident Alice Husum, 67, told the BBC a new fire that began in the area overnight was quickly contained, but that she and her neighbours are all "dreading Tuesday" when the wind speeds are likely to peak.
stayed behind 是Phasal verb, 留下來的意思
despite 是指 盡管有疏散令 還是不走,
But Ms Husum, who has stayed behind despite evacuation orders, notes that the forecast "is a little better than the 100 mile-gusts that were hammering us" earlier in the week.
誰會在限飛的時候還用無人機, 87哦? 笑死, 被查出來後死定了.
