More than 500 arrested after protests and clashes as India water crisis worsens
印度水危机加剧，抗议和冲突引发500多人被捕
Millions of people are running out of usable water in the southern Indian city of Chennai, which is experiencing major droughts and a rapidly worsening water crisis.
在印度南部城市金奈，数百万人的可用水资源正在枯竭，这里正在经历严重的干旱和迅速恶化的水资源危机。
At least 550 people were arrested Wednesday in the city of Coimbatore for protesting with empty water containers in front of the municipal government's headquarters, accusing officials of negligence and mismanagement. Meanwhile, four reservoirs that supply Chennai, the state capital and India's sixth largest city, have run nearly dry.
星期三，至少550人在哥印拜陀市政府总部门前抗议，指责官员玩忽职守和管理不善，被逮捕。 与此同时，为印度第六大城市金奈供水的4座水库已接近枯竭。
Hundreds of vultures poisoned in Botswana
成百上千的秃鹫在博茨瓦纳中毒
More than 500 vultures and two tawny eagles have been poisoned in Botswana after coming into contact with three elephant carcasses that were laced with a poisonous chemical, the government there has said in a statement.
博茨瓦纳政府在一份声明中表示，超过500只秃鹫和两只黄褐鹰在接触了三具掺有有毒化学物质的大象尸体后中毒。
The creatures died at a site in the north of the country and the authorities are trying to decontaminate the area.
这些生物死于该国北部的一个地区，当局正在努力净化该地区。
The statement does not go into details as to why this may have happened, but AFP news agency reports that poachers are known to deliberately target vultures. It says that vultures are used by park rangers to help track illegal poaching, therefore getting rid of the birds means that they are less likely to be found.
这份声明没有详细说明为什么会发生这种情况，但据法新社报道，偷猎者是故意以秃鹫为目标的。 报告说，公园管理员使用秃鹫来帮助追踪非法偷猎，因此除掉这些鸟意味着他们被发现的可能性降低。
