外媒看中國 上海跨年35人死於踩踏

At least 35 people have been killed in a stampede during the New Year's celebrations in Shanghai, which may have been caused by the crowd rushing to grab fake money thrown from the balcony of a building.

上海新年跨年歡慶活動中，至少有35人死於踩踏事故，原因很有很可能是人羣涌向建築露臺瘋搶灑下的假錢。

Xinhua News Agency cited the Shanghai's government in saying that at least another 42 people have been injured and have been taken to Shanghai General Hospital.

中國官方媒體新華社引用上海政府的聲明，聲稱只有還有42人受傷並已送往上海第一人民醫院。

The deaths and injuries occurred in Chen Yi Square, in city's waterfront Bund area, which attracted 300,000 people last New Years Eve.

死傷事故發生於位於城市外灘的陳毅廣場，去年的跨年吸引了30萬人集聚到這裏。

South China Morning Post reporter George Chen posted to Twitter that the stampede occurred right before midnight.

《南華早報》的記者George Chen在午夜前的推特上PO出了踩踏現場。

'As a native of Shanghai, I believe this is the worst (very rare) stampede incident in Shanghai history in recent decades. Shock!!' he said via Twitter.

“作爲上海的本土居民，我相信這是近幾十年來（爲數不多的）最糟糕的踩踏事件了。震驚！！”他在推特上說道。
