Philippines in the Path of another Super Typhoon

菲律賓再度位於超級颱風路徑上

	Powered by ferocious winds, Typhoon Hagupit is whipping towards central Philippines and could affect the same area hit by the deadly Typhoon Haiyan just 13 months ago, several forecasts show.
	由猛烈強風推動的哈格比颱風正撲向菲律賓中部，可能影響十三個月前剛遭到致命強颱海燕襲擊的同一個地區，幾項天氣預報顯示。
	As of Monday, the storm forced the evacuation of thousands of residents from homes in its path, and at least three deaths had been blamed on the typhoon-two from hypothermia and a third victim who was struck by a falling tree.
	截至週一為止，颱風行經路線內有成千上萬的居民被迫撤離家園，至少三人因颱風死亡，其中兩名死於失溫，第三名則是遭樹倒擊中。
	With winds gusting up to 277 kilometers per hour, the strongest storm of 2014 could slam into the Philippines, a country of more than 92 million people all too familiar with destructive weather.
	在風速高達每小時兩百七十七公里的情況下，這個二０一四年最強的風暴可能會強襲入侵菲律賓，這個人口超過九千兩百萬的國家對於毀滅性的天氣習以為常。
	According to the Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, Hagupit, or Ruby as it's known in the Philippines, made landfall near Dolores, Eastern Samar province, Saturday night at 10 p.m. local time.
	菲律賓大氣地球物理和天文管理局表示，菲律賓稱為露比的哈格比颱風，於當地時間週六晚上十點在東薩馬省多羅爾斯區附近登陸。
	Typhoons are compared in terms of intensity, wind speeds, gusts, rainfall and, for the people in their path, homes and lives lost, and dollars and time needed to rebuild.
	颱風的對照條件包括強度、風速、瞬間風速、降雨量，而對身處颱風路徑上的民眾而言，則是奪走了多少家園與生命，以及重建需要的金錢與時間。
	Super Typhoon Haiyan, or Yolanda as it was known locally, which struck in 2013, was recorded as the strongest tropical cyclone ever to make landfall anywhere in the world in recorded history.
	二０一三年襲擊菲國的超級颱風海燕，當地稱為尤蘭達，是世界各地有紀錄以來登陸強度最強的熱帶氣旋。
	Typhoons and hurricanes are both tropical cyclones, but they assume different names, depending on their location.
	Typhoons form in the northwest Pacific Ocean, west of the International Date Line.
	They become Super Typhoons if they reach maximum sustained 1-minute surface winds of at least 240 kilometers per hour, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
	颱風和颶風同樣都是熱帶氣旋，但因地點不同而採用不同的名稱。颱風形成於太平洋西北部，位於國際換日線以西。颱風的一分鐘最高持續地面風速如果達到時速兩百四十公里以上，就成為超級颱風，美國海洋暨大氣總署指出。
