（单词翻译）

 It's been another sleepless1 night for many in Queensland with floodwaters slapping at their doorsteps. The water continues to rise in Bundaberg. The Burnett River was expected to peak overnight, and 200 residents have been advised to leave their homes. Further north, Rockhampton is preparing for its worst flood in two decades. The Fitzroy River isn't expected to peak there until next week. 

 
Northern Ireland, meanwhile, has a water crisis of its own. About 40,000 people throughout the country don't have running water because freezing weather has burst pipes. Many shops have sold out of bottled water, and emergency supplies are now being trucked in. 
 
Five men have been arrested for planning a terrorist attack on a Danish newspaper. Authorities say the men were planning to storm the newspaper's office and massacre2 its staff. The newspaper published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2005, triggering violent protests around the world. 
 
A key terrorist suspect has gone on trial in Jakarta. Abdullah Sunata is linked with a terror network funded by the radical3 cleric Abu Bakar Bashir. He's accused of helping4 to set up a terrorist training camp in Aceh. The prosecution5 also alleges6 he bought weapons and met one of the Bali bombers7. 
 
And a pilot and his son have spent the night stranded8 in a remote part of South Australia after making an emergency landing. Emergency services located the plane 50 kilometres north of William Creek9. The two are not injured and rescuers are now on their way.
