外媒看中国 上海跨年35人死于踩踏

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.

上海新年跨年欢庆活动中，至少有35人死于踩踏事故，原因很有很可能是人群涌向建筑露台疯抢洒下的假钱。

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.

中国官方媒体新华社引用上海政府的声明，声称只有还有42人受伤并已送往上海第一人民医院。

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

死伤事故发生于位于城市外滩的陈毅广场，去年的跨年吸引了30万人集聚到这里。

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

《南华早报》的记者George Chen在午夜前的推特上PO出了踩踏现场。

'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.

“作为上海的本土居民，我相信这是近几十年来（为数不多的）最糟糕的踩踏事件了。震惊！！”他在推特上说道。
