二、听力文本

Schoolchildren in the southern Ukrainian city Zaporizhzhia celebrated the traditional first day of school on Sunday. The ceremonies began just hours after warnings of Russian air raids sounded through the city. Zaporizhzhia is just 40 kilometers from the war's front. That danger is never far from the minds of teachers and families at one of the city's schools. Russian artillery and missiles strike there so often that local officials were forced to ban large gatherings. Only students starting their first and last years could take part in the ceremony. The Associated Press is not identifying the school for security reasons. The children wore traditional Ukrainian clothing and carried flowers. Each first year student held the hand of a final year student in a small parade. The school once had 800 students but about 300 fled the city seeking safer places. The remaining children alternate one week of study at school with one week of online study. That is because the school's bomb shelter can hold only around 250 people. That shelter is about 75 meters away from the main school building, across an open playground. School director Kostiantyn Lypskyi said the youngest students work in a classroom just above the underground shelter. The rest of the school operates in the main building. Russia launched large numbers of missiles and drones on the capital Kyiv Monday, wounding three people and damaging schools. On Tuesday, Russian missiles killed at least 41 people and wounded over 180 in Poltova, a city in the central eastern part of Ukraine.

六、网络翻译

乌克兰南部城市扎波罗热的学童于星期日庆祝了传统的开学第一天。就在仪式开始前几小时,城市中响起了俄国空袭的警报。扎波罗热距离战争前线仅40公里。对于这座城市一所学校的教师和家庭来说,危险从未远离他们的心头。俄国的炮火和导弹经常袭击该地区,地方官员被迫禁止大型集会。只有一年级和毕业班的学生才能参加开学典礼。出于安全原因,美联社未透露该校的具体名称。孩子们穿着传统的乌克兰服饰,手捧鲜花。每位一年级新生都牵着一位毕业班学生的手,参加小型游行。该校曾有800名学生,但约300人为了寻找更安全的地方而逃离了这座城市。剩下的孩子们每周轮流在学校学习一周,然后在线学习一周。这是因为学校的防空洞只能容纳大约250人。防空洞距离主教学楼约75米,需要穿过一个露天操场。校长科斯蒂安丁·利普斯基表示,最小的学生在防空洞正上方的教室上课。学校的其他部分则在主楼内运作。周一,俄国向首都基辅发射了大量导弹和无人机,造成三人受伤,并破坏了学校。周二,俄国导弹在乌克兰中东部城市波尔塔瓦造成至少41人死亡,180多人受伤。
