The search and rescue mission at a collapsed Florida condominium has been suspended as a crew prepares for the demolition of the remainder of the building.

佛罗里达倒塌公寓的搜救工作已暂停，搜救人员正在准备拆除大楼的剩余部分。

Fire officials told family members rescuers stopped their search about 4 p.m. Saturday when demolition crews began boring holes into the concrete of the still-standing portion of the Champlain Towers South in Surfside.

消防官员对遇难者家属说，周六下午4点左右搜救停止，拆迁人员开始对位于瑟夫赛德南部的尚普兰塔楼未坍塌部分进行钻孔。

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said removing it will actually help rescue workers.

瑟夫赛德市市长查尔斯·伯克特表示，将大楼移除实际上有助于救援人员工作。

"That will allow our rescue workers to pour all over the entire site without fear of any danger from falling debris or falling buildings."

“这将使我们的救援人员可以大批进入废墟工作，而不必担心碎片或建筑物坠落的危险。”

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Saturday that two more bodies were found in the rubble, bringing the number of confirmed dead to 24.

在星期六，迈阿密戴德市市长丹尼尔·莱文·卡瓦说，在废墟中又发现了两具尸体，这使已证实死亡人数达到24人。

The number of people who remain unaccounted for in the collapse was 124.

目前仍有124人下落不明。

No one has been found alive in the rubble of the building since the first hours after its collapse last week.

上周大楼倒塌后的最初几个小时以后，废墟中没有发现任何幸存者。

Elsa has passed Haiti and the Dominican Republic and threatens to unleash flooding and landslides.

"We're preparing for the risk of isolated tornadoes, storm surge, heavy rainfall and flash flooding."

Forecasters expect Elsa to still be a tropical storm when it reaches Florida. However, some model show it heading into the Gulf or up the Atlanta coast.
