Article 2
A crash and large fire along a California freeway involving an electric Tesla Semi has drawn the attention of federal safety investigators.
캘리포니아 고속도로에서 테슬라 세미 전기 차량과 관련된 충돌 및 대형 화재가 발생하여 연방 안전 조사관의 주목을 받고 있습니다.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday it’s sending a team of investigators from the Office of Highway Safety mainly to look into fire risks posed by lithium-ion batteries.
미국 국가교통안전위원회는 목요일에 고속도로 안전국에서 조사팀을 파견해 리튬 이온 배터리로 인한 화재 위험을 조사할 것이라고 밝혔습니다.
The battery caught fire, spewing toxic fumes and reaching a temperature of 1,000 degrees, forcing firefighters to wait for it to burn out, the Highway Patrol told the newspaper. The Tesla driver walked away from the crash and was taken to a hospital, and the freeway was temporarily closed.
고속도로 순찰대는 배터리에 불이 붙어 유독 가스를 뿜어내고 온도가 1,000도까지 올라 소방관들이 배터리가 다 타기를 기다려야 했다고 신문에 전했습니다. 테슬라 운전자는 사고 현장에서 걸어서 병원으로 이송되었고 고속도로는 일시적으로 폐쇄되었습니다.

Iceland volcano erupts for sixth time in eight months
A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted Thursday evening for the sixth time since December, spewing red lava through a new fissure on the Reykjanes Peninsula.

Before 2021, the volcanoes on the Reykjanes Peninsula had been dormant for about 800 years.

The eruption occurred in a part of a newly active volcanic zone in Iceland that had been dormant for eight centuries before activity that started last December, with its most recent eruption starting in May.
이번 분화는 아이슬란드의 새로운 활화산 지대의 일부에서 발생했으며, 지난해 12월에 활동이 시작되기 전 8세기 동안 휴화산으로 남아 있다가 5월에 가장 최근 분화가 시작되었습니다.
