Tropical Storm Harvey unleashed catastrophic flooding in Houston, turning streets in Texas' largest city into raging rivers as trapped residents climbed to higher floors and the death toll rose.
热带风暴哈维肆虐，引发休斯顿特大洪灾。这座得州最大城市的街道变成汹涌河流，被困居民被迫爬上高层，死亡人数不断攀升。
灾难面前，不少媒体都想挖掘感人故事，但也有可能不小心火上浇油，惹怒受访者。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）日前就遭遇了一场报道灾难。
CNN记者罗莎·弗洛雷斯（Rosa Flores）在29日的直播中采访了休斯顿一个被困5天的灾民，结果被这位情绪激动的母亲劈头盖脸骂了一顿。
A distraught Houston mother tore into a CNN reporter during a live interview — blasting the woman for putting a microphone in her face just moments after she arrived at a shelter with her two young children.
休斯顿一位心情极差的母亲在一次直播采访中怒斥CNN记者，痛骂记者用麦克风对着她，而她和两个孩子才刚刚抵达避难所。
当时，这位名叫丹妮尔（Danielle）的妇女带着两个孩子刚刚抵达避难所。记者弗洛雷斯随机采访到她。
一开始，记者让她讲讲获救经历。
丹妮尔说：
“We were waiting for the police for like 36 hours and they never came. We did the white flags and everything — and nobody came.”
我们在等警察来救我们，等了差不多有36个小时，他们也没有来。我们插了白旗，想了各种办法，根本就没人来救我们。
丹妮尔说她后来带着孩子跑出家，走到附近的一个加油站等人来救他们。
“We had been there for five days with no food, no lights and nobody came... like nobody came.
但是我们在家里被困了5天，没吃的也没电，没有一个人来救我们。
接着记者想走煽情路线，挖掘一些母亲不畏急流英勇救孩子的故事……
这位母亲情绪激动起来，开始飙脏话：
“We got through 4 feet of water to get them food on the first day … Yeah, that’s a lot of s**t.”
我们第一天蹚过了4英寸（1.2米）深的水去给他们找吃的……对，确实惨到家了。
她怒斥道：
“People are really breaking down and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us what the f**k is wrong with us.”
大家都快崩溃了，而你们就闲坐在这儿，举着摄像机和麦克风，竟然还问我们怎么了。
“Y’all trying to interview people during their worst times. Like, that’s not the smartest thing to do.”
在别人最惨的时候，你们还想着采访。这真的是最蠢的事情！
“And you really trying to understand with the microphone still in my face! With me shivering cold, with my kids wet! And you’re still putting a microphone in my face!”
你们把麦克风伸到我面前采访，而我现在冻得发抖！孩子浑身湿透！而你还举个话筒对着我！
被骂了一脸的记者连声道歉。然后画面就被切掉，CNN演播室的主持人吉姆·阿科斯塔（Jim Acosta）有些尴尬地说：
“It sounds like you’ve got a very upset family there.”
看起来这家人心情很不好啊。
