奥巴马就海地发生强烈地震发表演讲 Good morning, everybody. This morning I want to extend to the people of Haiti the deep condolences and unwavering support of the American people following yesterday’s terrible earthquake. 大家早上好。昨天，海地发生了强烈地震。在此我想对海地人民表达最深的问候，美国人民将坚定地向海地提供援助。We are just now beginning to learn the extent of the devastation, but the reports and images that we’ve seen of collapsed hospitals, crumbled homes, and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching.
