澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 爱泼斯坦案受害人接受采访 安德鲁王子难脱性侵丑闻

New South Wales fire crews are preparing for another difficult day as they continue to fight more than 100 blazes across the state. At least one home has been destroyed in a major bushfire near Batemans Bay on the south coast. Emergency warnings for that fire have been downgraded overnight, but some residents remain cut off by the flames. Two other significant blazes are also burning in the Blue Mountains.

新南威尔士州消防员仍在继续对抗该州各地正在燃烧的100多起大火，他们今天将再次迎来艰难的一天。至少一座房屋在南海岸贝特曼斯湾附近的大型山火中烧毁。有关部门已就这起火灾发出紧急警告，该火灾已在夜间降级，但大火仍导致一些居民与外界隔绝。蓝山也有两起大火仍在燃烧。

Those bushfires are pushing a hazardous¹ haze² across parts of New South Wales this morning. Thick, brown smoke is blanketing Sydney, the Central Coast and Newcastle. The weather bureau says the haze is likely to remain until the weekend.

这些山火导致新南威尔士州部分地区在今天早上出现了有害烟雾。褐色浓雾笼罩在悉尼、中央海岸和纽卡斯尔上空。气象局表示，浓雾可能会持续到周末。

In explosive claims a US woman who says she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew believes the royal has "ridiculous excuses" for his alleged³ behaviour. Virginia Giuffre is one of convicted sex offender⁴ Jeffrey Epstein's accusers and has told the BBC she was trafficked to London when she was 17, to have sex with the Duke of York. Her interview was recorded before Prince Andrew's interview last month, where he said he did not recall meeting her.

一名美国女子曾称自已被迫与英国安德鲁王子发生性关系，现在该女子再次发表爆炸性言论，她认为这名王室成员为自已的行为所找的借口“荒谬可笑”。弗吉尼亚·朱弗雷是已被定罪的性罪犯杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的其中一名控告者，她在接受BBC采访时表示，她被送到伦敦与约克公爵（即安德鲁王子）发生性关系时只有17岁。她的采访早于安德鲁王子的采访，王子在上个月的采访中曾表示，他不记得与这名女子见过面。
