原声BBC英语每日一句 typhoon flatten

请先听一遍，再看原文。注意每一个单词的发音。

Tacloban has been flattened. Driving down the main high street, hardly a single building is left standing. People say this town was hit by a wall of water when the typhoon struck on Friday.

译文：

塔克洛班已经被夷为平地，开车到市区大街，几乎看不到一座直立着的建筑物。人们说在周五台风袭击的时候这个城镇被一堵水墙击中。

Tacloban = 塔克洛班(菲律宾中东部港市，在莱特岛东北岸)

flatten = 放倒，（使）变平，（使）心理沮丧

typhoon = 台风，

strike = 攻击，袭击

口语练习：

The typhoon flattened thousands of homes. Many people have been left homeless.
[飓风把成千上万的家园夷为平地，很多人都无家可归。]

I am flattened by the bad news.
[听到这个坏消息，我感到很沮丧。]
