原文及翻译

Hurricane Ernesto strengthened into a Category 2 storm Thursday night as it barreled toward Bermuda after leaving hundreds of thousands of people in Puerto Rico without power or water. Sweltering heat enveloped the U.S. territory, raising concerns about people's health.

飓风埃内斯托于周四晚增强为 2 级飓风，向百慕大进发，导致波多黎各数十万居民断电断水。酷热笼罩着美国领土，人们的健康问题令人担忧。

A hurricane warning was in effect for Bermuda, with Ernesto expected to pass near or over the island Saturday.

飓风警报已对百慕大生效，预计埃内斯托将于周六经过该岛附近或上空。

The storm was centered about 660 kilometers south-southwest of Bermuda late Thursday. Its maximum sustained winds had risen to 155 kph, and the storm was moving north-northeast at 22 kph over open waters.

飓风中心位于百慕大西南偏南约 660 公里处，周四晚间最大持续风速已升至 155 公里/小时，风暴以 22 公里/小时的速度向东北偏北移动，掠过开阔水域。

"I cannot stress enough how important it is for every resident to use this time to prepare. We have seen in the past the devastating effects of complacency," said National Security Minister Michael Weeks.

“我再怎么强调也不为过，每个居民都要利用这段时间做好准备。我们过去曾目睹过自满造成的破坏性影响，”国家安全部长迈克尔·威克斯说。

Ernesto was forecast to possibly reach Category 3 strength Friday and then weaken as it approaches Bermuda, where it was forecast to drop 15 to 30 centimeters of rain, with up to 38 centimeters in isolated areas.

据预测，飓风埃内斯托可能在周五达到 3 级强度，并在接近百慕大时减弱，预计百慕大将降雨 15 至 30 厘米，局部地区降雨量最高可达 38 厘米。
