NBC晚间新闻 拉斯维加斯蝗虫泛滥

（单词翻译）

On the Las Vegas Strip right across from the Mirage¹ is this. In Sin City it's the insect invasion putting on a show. No one can escape. They popped up out of nowhere. A 24-7 onslaught of grasshoppers³ that really sticks with you. What the heck, did you're all covered in locusts⁴. For many the first impression felt downright biblical. A migrating hoarded⁵ bug⁶ so big. You could even see them from space. Experts say is soggy winter plus a mild spring made conditions perfect for the pallid⁷ winged grasshopper². A migratory⁸ species that should be gone in a few weeks but till then.

One thing they're known to do is mate and that's why there's so many of them around here. To make matters worse, they're attracted to bright, especially white lights. Finding their match made in heaven on the Vegas strip. I've seen people running around away from the grasshoppers. Scientists say the invasions only happened a few times over the past 30 years and the grasshoppers pose more of a nuisance than a threat. Either way the critter takeover has those in Sin City hoping for once. This is kind of weird⁹. What happens in Vegas. That's gross. Doesn't stay here.

在米拉奇大楼对面的拉斯维加斯大道上就是这样。在罪恶之城就是这种昆虫侵害带来的一场大型演出。没人能够逃脱。它们不知道从哪里突然出现。7天24小时的蝗虫猛攻真的无时无刻都缠着你。什么情况，你身上全是蝗虫。对很多人来说第一感觉就是灾难。这是大量迁徙的蝗虫。你甚至可以在太空里看见它们。专家们说，潮湿的冬天加上温和的春天，为无生气的有翅蝗虫创造了完美的条件。这种迁徙的蝗虫应该在几周内消失，但是到现在还没有。它们要做的一件事情就是交配，这就是为什么这里有这么多的蝗虫。情况更糟糕的是，它们会被亮光吸引，尤其是白光。在拉斯维加斯大道上找到它们的天作之合。我一直在看到人们在四处逃离蝗虫。科学家称，这种侵害在过去的三十年里只发生过几次，这些蝗虫构成的更多是麻烦，而不是威胁。不管怎样，这次罪恶之城的那些人看到了一次蝗虫占领城市。这种情况有些奇怪。有些恶心。但是这种情况不会一直保持下去。
