Health officials in the southern U.S. state of Louisiana said Tuesday they are revoking1 the licenses2 of nursing homes that were evacuated3 to a warehouse4 where seven residents died amid conditions deemed to be unacceptable and unsafe after Hurricane Ida.

美国南部路易斯安那州的卫生官员星期二说,他们将在飓风“艾达”结束之后吊销一些疗养院的执照。这些疗养院将人们疏散到一个仓库里,那里的条件被认为是不可接受的和不安全的,这导致了7名居住者死亡。

Authorities found some nursing home residents lying on mattresses5 on the floor without food or clean clothes and detected strong odors of urine and feces throughout the warehouse.

当局在仓库里发现,一些疗养院居住者躺在地板上的床垫上,没有食物和干净的衣服,并察觉到仓库各处强烈的尿液和粪便气味。

Piles of trash were on the floor and officials say water entered the building and generators6 at least temporarily failed.

A health department lawyer called the conditions, quote, "inhumane."

卫生部门的一名律师称这种居住环境是“不人道的”。

Dozens of people in the U.S. died last week because of the storm but most deaths were in the northeast where many were caught off guard.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday he won't change how he campaigns after he and others were hit by gravel8 rocks thrown by an anti-vaccine protester during the campaign this week.

加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多周二表示,他不会改变自己的竞选方式。此前,在本周的竞选活动中,一名反疫苗抗议者向他和其他人投掷了石块。

Trudeau claims Canadians are proud of the fact that Canada is not like the United States and he won't change.

特鲁多声称加拿大人为加拿大不像美国的这一事实感到自豪,他不会改变。

He said, quote, "Canadians are reassured9 and even proud of the fact that we're not the United States, that a prime minister or a candidate can walk down the street without fear of being attacked."

他说,这里引用他的原话:“加拿大人感到安心,甚至为我们不是美国人感到自豪,因为一位总理或一位候选人可以走上街头而不用担心受到攻击。”

Last month, a Trudeau campaign event was cancelled because of security concerns.
