我們每一個樓層是安排了兩個（采樣）點位，每一個點位是負責(zé)四個班級。學(xué)生是從后門出、從前門進，這樣也確保了我們核酸采樣順利進行。

3.UKRAINIAN MILITARY LAUNCHES SOUTHERN COUNTEROFFENSIVE
俄烏局勢：烏軍稱突破俄軍第一道防線
The Ukrainian army’s southern command said yesterday it has started a counter-offensive against Russian forces in the south. Ukraine has regularly stated its intention to retake the south, and in particular the city of Kherson. Stephen Rancourt has the story.
烏克蘭南部作戰(zhàn)司令部發(fā)言人昨天（8/29）表示，已在南部展開對俄反攻行動。烏方多次表示要奪回南部地區(qū)尤其是赫爾松的控制權(quán)。記者Stephen Rancourt帶來詳細報道。
Kherson was the first Ukrainian city to fall to Russia and is a key launch point for Russian strikes【攻擊】on surrounding areas. The Ukrainian armed forces announced yesterday that they have broken through the first line of Russian defenses in the Kherson region. Russia has not responded to this claim. On the same day, Russian forces continued to carry out strikes on ammunition【武器】depots【倉庫】in the Kherson region with high-precision weapons. Russia and Ukraine have been accusing each other of attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. With fears mounting of a nuclear accident in Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia authorities handed out iodine【碘】tablets to the local population yesterday.
赫爾松是烏克蘭第一個淪陷的城市，同時也是俄方向附近地區(qū)進攻的關(guān)鍵跳板。烏軍方昨天（8/29）稱已在赫爾松地區(qū)突破了俄軍第一道防線。俄方對此沒有回應(yīng)。當(dāng)天（8/29），俄軍繼續(xù)使用高精度武器對赫爾松地區(qū)的烏軍彈藥庫實施打擊。俄烏仍在互相指責(zé)對方襲擊扎波羅熱核電站。面對日益加劇的核事故風(fēng)險，扎波羅熱當(dāng)局昨天（8/29）開始向當(dāng)?shù)鼐用裉峁┑馄?/p>
Local Resident
當(dāng)?shù)鼐用?/b>
I came to get iodine tablets. In case of radiation exposure threat, if we can take these pills in time, we won’t suffer from any side effects.
我來領(lǐng)取碘片。萬一受到輻射威脅，我們要及時服用這些藥片。這樣就不會受到一些副作用的侵害。
Director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi announced that he and a team of experts arrived yesterday in Kyiv. They will reach the plant in the next few days to inspect the current state of the structure, the conditions in which the staff are working and the functionality of its safety and security systems. The Kremlin and Kyiv both said the IAEA mission was necessary and urged the international community to pressure the other side to reduce military tensions in the region.
國際原子能機構(gòu)總干事拉斐爾·格羅西宣布昨天（8/29）已率領(lǐng)專家代表團抵達基輔。他們將在未來幾天前往扎波羅熱核電站，評估炮擊損害，員工工作環(huán)境，及其安全與保障系統(tǒng)的運行狀況。俄烏雙方均對此表示歡迎，并希望國際社會向?qū)Ψ绞?，緩和該地區(qū)的軍事緊張。
Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin Spokesman
佩斯科夫 俄總統(tǒng)新聞秘書
The pressure on Ukraine can help to stop shelling at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and its surrounding territories. Russia is interested in the IAEA mission and took part in its preparations.
對烏克蘭施壓將促使其停止對扎波羅熱核電站及附近區(qū)域的炮擊，俄方對國際原子能機構(gòu)此行表示歡迎，并參與了前期準(zhǔn)備活動。
Dmytro Kuleba, Ukrainian Foreign Minister
庫列巴 烏克蘭外長
We expect from the mission a clear statement of facts, on violations of all nuclear, and safety protocols.
我們希望此訪能得出事實文件清晰陳述（俄方）違反核安全條款的行為。
Even after the IAEA inspection, the nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia, which is still staffed by Ukrainian technicians, but controlled by Russian-backed separatists, will most likely continue to be a hotspot in Russia-Ukraine conflict.
雖然國際原子能機構(gòu)已采取調(diào)查，但扎波羅熱核電站仍由烏方技術(shù)人員操作，由俄軍分裂主義者管理，該地可能仍將是俄烏沖突的熱點地區(qū)。
