11月16日9時40分許，甘肅正寧縣榆林子鎮(zhèn)“小博士”幼兒園校車在接到幼兒后，行駛至該鎮(zhèn)西街道班門口時，與一輛陜西籍大翻斗運煤車相撞。截至17日晚，事故遇難人數(shù)升至21人。

我們來看一段英文報道：
The victims, now including 19 preschoolers and two adults, died when a nine-seat school bus illegally carrying 64 people crashed head-on with a coal truck in Yulinzi township, Zhengning, Wednesday morning. A further 43 were injured.

Parents of students at the kindergarten said school bus overloading has been a problem for years, despite repeated complaints.

With over 700 children, the privately-run kindergarten has only four vans. All seats have been removed so more passengers can be crammed in.

周三早上，甘肅省慶陽市正寧縣榆林子鎮(zhèn)一輛非法搭載64人的九人座校車迎頭撞上一輛運煤車，造成21人遇難43人受傷，死者包括19名學前兒童和兩名成年人。

據(jù)幼兒園學生家長稱，校車超載問題由來已久，屢次抱怨無效。

該民辦幼兒園有超過700名兒童卻只有四輛面包車，而且為了塞下更多的乘客，這些車均被改為無座。

【講解】

文中的school bus overloading即“校車超載”。“overload”可以作為動詞，意思是“使超載，使負擔過重”，也可以作為名詞，意為“超載，負荷“。“超載的校車”英文就是an overloaded school bus。head-on作為副詞，意為“迎面相撞地”，也可以作為形容詞，如a head-on crash/collision。preschool/kindergarten均指“幼兒園”，preschooler即“學前兒童”。
