1
Almost 180,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes around Los Angeles as five fires continue to burn,
2
two of them completely uncontained.
3
This is what the flames are leaving behind.
4
Entire neighbourhoods completely destroyed, everything gone.
5
Only the charred remains of trees have been left standing.
6
The first fire to erupt was on Tuesday in the Pacific Palisades neighbourhood.
7
It is the largest fire and it is still out of control.
8
It spread rapidly.
9
Look at how fast it moved in just five hours.
10
It now covers more than 17,000 acres of land.
11
That blaze alone is now one of the most destructive natural disasters in the history of LA.
12
There are still five fires alight around the city.
13
Firefighters say two of them,
14
the Palisades and Hearst fires, are still 0% contained.
15
And you can see from this time-lapse of the Palisades fire just how quickly it spread,
16
fanned by hurricane-force winds.
17
And this, another neighbourhood, Altadena,
18
this satellite imagery shows the homes and buildings,
19
street after street, completely engulfed.
20
Five people are known to have died,
21
but the LA Sheriff says that number will rise.
22
Our correspondent Emma Vardy is there.
23
Well, fire crews are now into a third day of fighting these fires on multiple fronts.
24
The good news is the wind has dropped.
25
The weather is calmer today,
26
so some of the fire's growth has been slowed down.
27
But still, the largest blazes have not been brought under control.
28
and we now know that large parts of this city will never look the same again.
29
The scale of this disaster is clear to see.
30
Block after block, a blanket of destruction.
31
More than a thousand buildings burned in this community alone.
32
Emergency services unable to save them.
33
And still they burn, the most catastrophic fires Los Angeles has ever seen.
34
Overnight, the Hollywood Hills resembling a disaster movie,
35
a huge crescent of flame engulfing an iconic community of California.
36
More than 130,000 people have been told to evacuate their homes.
37
Here, just one of many properties engulfed turned to a shell.
38
A lot of the stories of heroic actions by our deputy sheriffs,
39
police officers, or firefighters, a lot of them are taking place from people who did not choose to evacuate,
40
putting their own lives at risk.
41
So please, if you're asked to evacuate,
42
evacuate, because it's not only your life you're putting in danger.
43
At least five major fires have been burning across Los Angeles County.
44
The scale and spread has stretched firefighting crews...
45
..on the ground...
46
..and in the air.
47
16,000 acres and counting, consumed by the inferno.
48
One street filmed by a local resident, moments before he left he left.
49
I thought maybe I would be able to get some extra stuff
50
that we didn't take and come to see that the whole street is just gone.
51
It's like a war zone.
52
And we had so many memories in here that cannot be replaced.
53
I had these great old pictures of my grandfather from World War II,
54
both grandfathers, and I was going to get them framed.
55
And now they're gone and they're lost.
56
And I had so many things that are just lost forever.
57
I just, I know we're safe, but I don't understand.
58
Fueled by hurricane force winds,
59
these fires have struck at a vulnerable time.
60
L.A hasn't seen any significant rainfall for months.
61
Currently, we're at the Palisades Fire,
62
which is a very dynamic, fast-moving brush fire.
63
I'm looking out the window here,
64
and, you know, wind gusts are still 50 to 70 miles an hour
65
headed right to the ocean and kind of turning back around and headed right up the canyon.
66
There's embers flying one and a half to two miles ahead of the fire
67
with a 75% chance that that would ignite a new fire.
68
So they were caught in a very difficult situation.
69
As dawn came in the Palisades,
70
it revealed the grim reality of what the fire has left behind.
71
There are miles and miles of streets like this,
72
an utter shock at the devastation here.
73
communities just vanished, now ghost towns,
74
and once dream homes turned to dust.
75
No-one is immune.
76
Mansions now ash.
77
The homes of Jennifer Aniston,
78
Rihanna, Adam Sandler and Paris Hilton among those evacuated.
79
The scale of destruction has upended life in Los Angeles and this ravaged city is braced for more.
80
Emma Vardy, and we will be speaking to Emma live later in the programme.
81
Well, the Pacific Palisades on the west coast,
82
or the west side of the city,
83
is where the blaze started.
84
Thousands of buildings have been destroyed in the hills between Santa Monica and Malibu.
85
John Sudworth is there, and he has been speaking to some of those affected.
86
Late into the night we watch one of America's wealthiest neighbourhoods burn.
87
The flames so intense the fire crews are powerless to stop them.
88
So if I very quickly take my mask off the air is absolutely thick with smoke.
89
The fire crews here tell us they have a shortage of water.
90
And in many instances they're having to stand and watch these properties burn.
91
It is a losing battle.
92
They're using what little they have sparingly,
93
trying to contain the spread.
94
Defying the evacuation orders, some residents are defending their own homes.
95
With all the surrounding properties burning,
96
I help Tony and his neighbours scooping water out of the swimming pool and dousing the flames at their boundary.
97
Since 1993, I have seen a couple of fires, but nothing like this.
98
I wouldn't see this in my nightmare.
99
I never thought it would come through yet.
100
David was hoping his home might have survived.
101
But the whole neighbourhood has gone.
102
And with it, his house too.
103
I would have thought I'd be seeing more planes flying over with water.
104
I mean there appears to be just two.
105
I mean in California are there not like 20 or 30 of them that they could have got you already?
106
I would have thought the firemen would like take a stand on a certain area.
107
Maybe they did and I'm just not seeing it but.
108
Wealth and privilege are no protection from this disaster,
109
with the ordinary human defences rendered futile in the face of its devastating force.
110
John Sudworth, BBC News, Pacific Palisades.
111
Well, the fires have swept through neighbourhoods home to film,
112
television and music stars.
113
Anthony Hopkins lost his multi-million dollar mansion the actor Billy Crystal lost his home where he'd lived since 1979
114
some celebrities have been taking to social media to describe what has happened to them
115
sitting here and waiting to find out whether we're going to be evacuated or not is
116
it's like the time can't go by any slower yes baby come here baba
117
so instead we decided to pass the time by putting together
118
bags of clothes for our friends who have lost everything okay
119
we found everyone we are packing up the car getting ready to go to the hotel it's
120
so big it's so red my thoughts and prayers are with everyone tonight
121
I have never seen flames from my house like this, ever.
122
This is insanity.
123
I hope everyone is staying safe tonight.
124
Well, let's go back to Emma Vardy,
125
who is there in Los Angeles.
126
And Emma, the authorities have been saying today that the tide could be turning,
127
but the situation is still very perilous.
128
that's right there is some new hope
129
but we're certainly not out of the danger zone yet
130
and with so many neighborhoods
131
that have had to be abandoned a new issue arising in the middle of this crisis is looting police say
132
that there are criminals going into abandoned neighborhoods looting homes
133
that haven't been
134
so badly destroyed there's been 20 arrests for looting they've stepped
135
up patrols in affluent areas places like this in malibu where people have had to leave their homes
136
and say they'll be clamping down on this.
137
And another issue too is price gouging.
138
Businesses being warned not to put their prices up.
139
Hotels being told don't spike your rates while there is a spike in demand in the middle of this crisis.
140
Now this crisis is very much still being fought on the ground but already the political finger pointing has also begun.
141
There are questions over cuts to fire service budgets,
142
questions over the way California has managed its resources to be prepared for a natural disaster like this.
143
And in due course, thoughts will return to the recovery process,
144
which is going to be a long one because so much of this city is very much changed forever.
145
But in terms of the danger,
146
we're not out of the woods yet.
147
Emma Vardy, for now, thank you.
148
We'll be speaking to you again at the end of the programme.
149
And just to say that there is a BBC News special on the Los Angeles fires at 7pm tonight.
150
You can watch all the latest on BBC Two,
151
on the BBC News Channel,

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는 무엇인가요?
이 비디오는 LA에서 발생한 대규모 화재를 다루고 있습니다. 실제 뉴스 현장을 통해 긴박한 상황을 접할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 다양한 감정과 긴장감을 느낄 수 있습니다. 이러한 맥락에서 말하기 연습을 하게 되면 실제 상황에서 자연스럽게 대화하는 능력을 기를 수 있습니다. 영어 쉐도잉 기법을 통해 발음과 억양을 익히고, IELTS 스피킹에서 높은 점수를 얻기 위한 구술 능력을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 'shadow speech'를 통해 자신의 언어 사용을 관찰하고, 일정한 주제에 대한 사고를 깊이 있게 발전시킬 수 있습니다.
문맥 속의 문법 및 표현
- "has been ordered to leave" - 이 표현은 수동태를 사용하여 특정 행동이 강제되었음을 나타냅니다.
- "are known to have died" - 현재완료형이 사용되어 과거의 사건이 현재와 연결되어 있음을 설명합니다.
- "the scale of this disaster is clear to see" - 상태를 설명하는 표현으로, 주어와 보어의 간결한 구조가 돋보입니다.
- "it is still out of control" - 현재진행형을 사용하여 상황이 여전히 변화하고 있음을 강조합니다.
이와 같은 문법 구조를 이해하고 활용하면, 자신의 스피킹에 깊이를 더할 수 있습니다. 이러한 표현들은 자연스러운 대화에서 자주 사용되므로, shadowspeaks와 같은 기법을 통해 익히는 것이 중요합니다.
일반적인 발음 함정
비디오에서 'Palisades', 'Hearst', 'California'와 같은 지명들은 발음이 어렵습니다. 특히, 이런 단어들은 자주 사용하는 단어가 아니기 때문에 발음에 익숙해지기 어려울 수 있습니다. 이러한 발음 연습은 shadow speak 기법을 통해 가능하며, 반복적인 연습이 필수적입니다. 또한, 화재와 관련된 용어인 'evacuate'와 'inferno' 역시 주의 깊게 발음해야 합니다.
이러한 발음 함정을 인식하고 극복하기 위해서는 결코 포기하지 않고 꾸준히 연습하는 것이 중요합니다. 그리하여 이를 통해 영어 실력을 한층 발전시키고, 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 더욱 자신감을 가질 수 있습니다.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
