The northeast coast of the United States is beginning a massive clear-up after being hit by the biggest storm for years. At least 30 people have been killed. The mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg said bridges and roads were being reopened, but it would take days to restore power and public transport.

美国东北海岸遭受了数年来最大风暴，现在开始清理工作。至少30人在风暴中丧生。纽约市长迈克尔·布隆伯格说，已经重新开放道路和桥梁，但要恢复电力和公共交通还需数天。

In addition to the lives we lost, the damage we suffered across the city is clearly extensive and it will not be repaired overnight. The two biggest challenges facing our city going forward are getting our mass transit system up and running and restoring power. So clearly the challenges our city faces in the coming days are enormous.

My message to the governors and mayors and, through them, to the communities that have been hit so hard is that we are gonna do everything we can to get resources to you and make sure that any unmet need is identified, we are responding to it as quickly as possible. And I told the mayors and governors if they're getting no for an answer somewhere in the federal government, they can call me personally at the White House.
