1
Firefighters in Los Angeles are warning that increasing winds could potentially result in explosive fire growth from the existing wildfires.
2
The mayor of Los Angeles,
3
Karen Bass, said they were preparing for any eventuality.
4
At least 24 people are known to have died and more than 20 are missing.
5
Some fires continue to burn out of control.
6
Emma Vardy reports.
7
The debris still smolders.
8
Thousands of acres of damage still untouched by recovery teams.
9
Today, roadblocks and patrols by the National Guard have visibly increased.
10
There have now been more than 60 arrests in evacuated areas,
11
mainly for looting and burglary.
12
The criminals have decided that this is an opportunity,
13
and I'm here to tell you that this is not an opportunity.
14
You will be arrested, you will be prosecuted and you will be punished to the full extent of the law.
15
Some have lost more than possessions.
16
One of the victims of the Palisades fire was 32-year-old Rory Sykes,
17
a child actor from the 90s British TV show Kiddy Capers.
18
He lived with cerebral palsy and his mother says she escaped but could not save him.
19
The biggest fear I had was that it might burn and hurt,
20
because I think burning must be the most painful death.
21
And the fire department chiefs said,
22
no, he will have died of carbon monoxide poisoning first.
23
I just can't believe my baby's not going to be here.
24
The clean-up task is so vast it will stretch on for months.
25
There have been promises by officials that the rebuilding process will be made as quick as possible
26
by cutting red tape to help people put their lives back together.
27
But there's frustration that in many places it's still too dangerous to start.
28
And the job of rehousing people will take time.
29
It will take months if not years.
30
I know that in Hawaii it took at least temporary housing to occur for a year
31
so we don't know what the situation will be here.
32
All around signs of the trauma the city has suffered as the fires overwhelmed communities.
33
As people try to escape from the oncoming flames in this part of Pacific Palisades many just abandoned their cars
34
and you can imagine the sense of panic many just appearing to have crashed into each other as they tried to flee.
35
you can see why they ran because here's what's left after the fire reached this spot not long after.
36
23 people are still missing and many addresses are still to be searched for human remains.
37
Well everyone in LA keeping a really close watch on the weather forecast.
38
Let's look at that in more detail now and consider what it means for the firefighting efforts.
39
I'm joined by Eric Holthaus,
40
meteorologist and climate journalist at Currently Weather.
41
Eric, thank you very much for joining us on BBC News.
42
So what can LA expect as these winds strengthen again over the next couple of days?
43
How strong will they get?
44
Yeah, so thankfully, the winds won't be quite as strong as last week.
45
But in Ventura County, which is a little bit north of Los Angeles,
46
the winds might be a little bit stronger this time around.
47
But in the areas where the fires are still burning,
48
it won't be quite as bad as we saw last week.
49
Yet, according to what we saw from the Daily Update,
50
the news conference earlier today,
51
the authorities clearly worried about what that could mean for the fire spreading potentially.
52
And could it affect the ability of those aircraft,
53
firefighting aircraft, to get up and drop loads of retardant and water?
54
Yeah, absolutely.
55
I mean, like, I should definitely say
56
that last week was one of the strongest wind storms ever recorded in the Los Angeles area.
57
So being not quite as bad as that is still pretty bad.
58
I mean, and the exact words from the National Weather Service were,
59
this is about as bad as it gets.
60
So yeah, I think that the winds will be strong enough to keep some firefighting aircraft on the ground,
61
unfortunately, and we'll continue to see no rainfall in the forecast looking out.
62
So all these warm winds are just going to further dry the vegetation out for any spark
63
that might happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
64
A combination of factors that really isn't good then for the firefighting efforts.
65
I mean, beyond this next phase,
66
Eric, of strengthening winds, is there any relief in sight for LA?
67
Will the conditions become calmer at all?
68
Unfortunately, looking out about as far as we can with weather and climate models,
69
we are seeing no rainfall in sight,
70
at least through the end of January and potentially into February as well.
71
This is really unusual because this is the peak of the rainy season in Southern California normally.
72
So there has never been a year in the last 150 years of records
73
that has not had at least a little bit of rainfall up to this point in mid-January
74
and we are right now the driest start to the rainy season on record
75
so we're seeing a little bit of those climate change signals coming through in this week, unfortunately.
76
So obviously that has a huge impact in terms of filling up reservoirs and so on that the public need,
77
that firefighters need.
78
Yeah, I mean, I think that in this case,
79
the amount of water that is available for firefighters is there.
80
I mean, if needed be,
81
they can use the scoops from the Pacific Ocean to drop to drop water.
82
But but I think it's more about the the actual vegetation,
83
the landscape, the trees and brush that are just drying out with this very dry air,
84
making it almost like matchstick kindling to burn.
85
OK, so obviously everyone keeping a very close eye on whether the conditions then are in place for future fires,
86
which inevitably will come to burn as ferociously.
87
Yeah, absolutely.
88
I think that that what we're seeing right now is kind of a sign of,
89
you know, we've had 15 of the 20 most destructive wildfires in California history within the last 10 years.
90
We're seeing that trend towards larger and more destructive fires as more people live closer into the mountains,
91
into the brush.
92
So unfortunately, this mix of really unusually dry weather and people being in the path,
93
unfortunately, will likely continue at least for the next several weeks.
94
OK, Eric, thank you very much.
95
Eric Holthaus there, meteorologist.
96
and in the next hour here on The Context we'll be talking to a captain with the LA Fire Department
97
about what he and his colleagues might be facing over the next couple of days.

단계별 섀도잉 가이드

이 비디오의 내용은 많은 감정과 긴박감을 담고 있습니다. 따라서 섀도잉(speaking shadowing) 기법을 사용하여 영어 발음과 표현을 연습하는 것이 효과적입니다. 아래는 진행 방법입니다:

  1. 비디오를 처음부터 끝까지 한 번 시청합니다. 대화의 흐름과 감정을 이해하세요.
  2. 이제 원하는 구문이나 문장을 파악합니다. 예를 들어, "We are preparing for any eventuality."와 같은 문장을 반복하세요.
  3. 구문을 천 천히 발음하면서 따라합니다. 처음엔 속도를 줄여도 괜찮습니다. 영어 발음 교정을 위해 발음에 집중해 보세요.
  4. 발음이 익숙해지면 속도를 올리며 반복합니다. 이 과정에서 shadow speech 기술을 활용하세요.
  5. 마지막으로, 사용한 문장을 실제 대화에서 어떻게 활용할 수 있을지 생각해 보고 연습합니다. 이를 통해 일상적인 영어 회화 연습에도 도움이 될 것입니다.

이번 연습을 통해 긴급 상황에서도 사용할 수 있는 유용한 영어 표현을 배우고, shadowspeaks 기술을 통해 자신감을 가질 수 있기를 바랍니다.

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.
