Vicksburg lies where the Mississippi and Yazoo Rivers meet. (1)_______________ in eighteen sixty-three during the Civil War -- which still makes it a popular stop for visitors.
维克斯堡位于密西西比河与耶珠河（Yazoo Rivers）交汇处。1863年美国内战期间的一场非常重要的战役就发生于此，使得维克斯堡成为最受游客欢迎的一个地方。
The waters at Vicksburg are expected to reach their highest levels -- seventeen and a half meters – sometime next week. (2)______________________
预计下周某个时候，维克斯堡的水位将达到17.5米的历史最高水平。
Seventy-year-old Winston Holman has lived in Vicksburg all his life.
七十岁的温斯顿·霍尔曼（Winston Holman）有生以来一直居住在维克斯堡。
WINSTON HOLMAN: "I have never seen the river as high as it is right now. And I hope I never see it get this high again. Because, it is hurting a lot of folks around here and a lot of businesses."
霍尔曼：“我从来没有见过现在这么高的水位。我希望再也不会看到这么高的水位。因为它会对周边人民和企业造成伤害。”
