OVERSÆTTELSE!!!!

Nogle der lige har tid til at se det her igennem???


Det år havde der været en serie kriser for bystyret. Først gik arbejderne på byens største stålværk i strejke. Nyhedsmedierne skrev om slagsmål (a scuffle) ved portene til værket. To hundrede politibetjente måtte sørge for, at busserne med strejkebryderne (a scab) kunne komme ind på fabriksområdet.
Kort efter opdagede nogle lystfiskere, at mange fisk var døde af forgiftning, og at der næsten ikke var nogen laks tilbage i floden. Specialisterne lavede adskillige analyser af situationen og indsamlede alle relevante oplysninger, men efter 3 uger havde de ikke gjort fremskridt endnu. Myndighederne frygtede, at tusinder af får, køer og kalve, der græssede på engene langs flodbredden, ville blive forgiftet. Eller hvad der var værre: menneskeliv ville gå tabt.
Senere blev byen ramt af jordskælv og 7 kvinder blev dræbt under sammenstyrtede huse. Mange mennesker blev såret, deriblandt mange børn. Katastroferne syntes at fortsætte, og myndighederne erklærede byen i undtagelsestilstand (in a state of emergency).

There had been a series of crises for the town government that year. First of all the employers of the biggest steelwork in town went on strike. The newsmedia wrote about a scuffle at the gates to the work. Two hundred policeofficers had to take care of the busses with the strikescabs were able to come into the factory area.
A short time after some of the anglers discovered that many of the fish were dead because of poison and there were not many salmon left in the river. The specialists made several analyses of the situation and they gathered all the relevant information but after three weeks they hadn’t made much progress.
The authorities feared that thousands of sheep, cows and calves, who grazed in the meadows along the riverside would be poisoned. Or what was worse: a loss of humanlives.
Later on the town was hit by an earthquake and seven women was killed under collapsed houses. Many of the people were wounded, among them a lot of children. The catastrophies seemed to continue and the authorities declared the town in a state of emergency.
