半打;六个左右

几十架飞机两小时内改降甘德,镇上一下要多接几千人。巴士司机还在罢工,一句 Without them, no one's going anywhere.(没他们,谁也走不了。);于是 We need to house them somewhere, and we need to get them there.(得给他们找地方住,还得把他们送过去。)。想学英语里应付突发、协调资源的说法,这段很真实。
平常一天只有六班飞机,这一天两小时内竟来了三倍之多,三十八架飞机改降甘德,平均每架两三百人。空管说有几架飞机不应答,还可能被当成炸弹威胁;联邦航空局又不给领空重开的时间表。机组必须休息,酒店却全满了。阿普尔顿和甘博愿意接收,却因为巴士司机还在 on the picket line(罢工)而送不过去,正如那句 Without them, no one's going anywhere.(没他们,谁也走不了。)。镇议会最后宣布 a state of emergency(紧急状态),把社区建筑 converted into(改造成)收容所,向全镇求人帮忙。想学英语里汇报紧急情况、协调资源的说法,这段很紧凑。

可以说 on the picket line,字面是「在纠察线上」,指工人正在罢工、在厂门口拉横幅。
意思是「这话别算我说的、别引用我」,用来提醒对方自己刚说的话不宜公开,属于私下交底。
意思是「被改造成、被改建为」,后面接新用途。比如社区建筑 will be converted into shelters 就是被改成收容所。
可以说 no one's going anywhere,形容所有人被困住、动弹不得,语气很形象,口语里常听到。
