In deep water 陷入困境

Although Florida is known as the ‘Sunshine State’, it is often affected by tropical cyclones – weather systems which produce heavy rain and strong winds. Depending on the location and strength, these storms are sometimes called typhoons or hurricanes. The recent tropical storm – named ‘Debby’ – passed across the region and nearly 50cm of rain fell in just two days.

尽管佛罗里达州被称为“阳光州”,它常常受到热带旋风的影响，产生大雨和强风。根据不同的位置和强度,这些风暴有时被称为台风和飓风。最近的这次被称为Debby的热带风暴横扫该地区，仅仅两天之内降雨量就达到了50厘米。
