　　外电报道如下：The hurricane, one of the strongest on record in the region, has killed at least 65 people across the Caribbean. About 1.3 million Cubans were evacuated from their homes, most taking refuge in the sturdier homes of relatives or neighbors ahead of its expected arrival on Monday. Evacuate的意思是“撤退、疏散”。The village was evacuated because of the danger of a flood.（由于洪水的威胁，村里人都已撤走了）。In the war many children were evacuated from the cities to the countryside.（在战争中许多孩子从城市被疏散到农村）。
