2019-7-15 纽约曼哈顿大停电

Power has now been restored to all customers after a power failure in New York halted subway trains and trapped people in lifts on Saturday evening.  Energy company Con Edison said more than 70,000 homes and businesses lost power in Manhattan, the most densely populated of the city's five boroughs.   It came on the anniversary of a massive power failure in 1977 that plunged the New York skyline into darkness and triggered widespread looting and arson. ▍语言点 power failure: 停电 restore /rɪˈstɔː(r)/: vt. 恢复 halt /hɔːlt, hɒlt/: vt. 使……停止（stop） subway /ˈsʌbweɪ/: n. 地铁（underground，tube） lift /lɪft/: n. 电梯（elevator） densely populated /ˈdensli/: 人口密集的 · dense /dens/: adj. 稠密的 borough /ˈbʌrə, ˈbɜːroʊ/: n. 区 plunge /plʌndʒ/: vt. 使……陷入 trigger /ˈtrɪɡə(r)/: vt. 导致（lead，cause） looting /ˈluːtɪŋ/: n. 抢劫 arson /ˈɑːsn, ˈɑːrsn/: n. 纵火 · vandalism /ˈvændəlɪzəm/: n. 恣意破坏他人（或公共）财产行为
