    According to Russian health ministry, the death toll in Tuesday's
derailment on the Moscow metro now stands at 21, including 2 Chinese
citizens.
    俄罗斯卫生部宣布，周二莫斯科地铁事故的死亡人数为21人,其中包括2名中国公民。
    Scores were injured, some seriously, when a packed commuter train braked
abruptly between stations in the west of the city in the morning rush hour.
    一辆早高峰通勤列车在城市西部的两个站台之间突然刹车，造成了多人受伤，部分伤员伤势严重。
    Some of those hurt were carried out of the tunnel on stretchers, with the
most serious cases airlifted to hospital.
    部分伤员被担架抬出隧道，伤势最严重的人则被直升机送到医院。
    The cause of the crash - one of the worst incidents ever on the metro - is
reported to be a power surge.
    这起事故的起因是电涌，它是最严重的地铁事故之一。
    The train derailed between Slaviansky Boulevard and Park Pobedy (Victory
Park) stations in the west of the city.

reported, quoting a health official.

    "The train slowed down abruptly, the lights went off, and then there was a
spark of fire and smoke. We were blocked in," one passenger told Russian TV.
    一名乘客对俄罗斯电视台说：“列车突然减速，灯灭了，然后是火花和烟雾，我们被堵在车里了。”
    Another, quoted by Reuters news agency, said: "We were trapped and only got
out by some miracle. I thought it was the end. Many people were hurt, mostly in
the front carriage because the cars ran into each other."
    另一名乘客对路透社说:”我们被困住了，只有出现奇迹才能帮我们逃生。好多人都受伤了，特别是在前面车厢的，因为车厢都撞到一起了。”
    More than 1,100 people were evacuated.
