西班牙首相宣布全国哀悼三天。此前,两列高速列车相撞,造成至少68人死亡、数十人受伤。官员表示,事故可能是由中央控制中心一个“难以解释”的错误导致的。
The trains, one from Spain’s state-owned Renfe and the other from the private rail company Iryo, were travelling on Wednesday morning in the same direction on the line that stretches from the Spanish capital, Madrid, to the southern region of Andalusia.(两列列车分别属于国有的Renfe和私营的Iryo,周三上午在从马德里延伸至安达卢西亚的线路上同向行驶。) After the Iryo train came to a halt, the other slam(猛烈撞击)med into its rear, knocking several carriage(车厢)s off the track near the town of Urda.

The tragedy was the second major deadly high-speed train accident this year in Spain, rattling a country where the extensive rail network has long been a point of pride.(这是西班牙今年第二起重大致命高铁事故,震动了这个长期以庞大铁路网络为傲的国家。) “Today all of Spain is grieving,” the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said.
