半夜睡不著來翻譯一下新聞裡幾個重要的段落。

The city has used Hart Island to bury New Yorkers with no known next of kin or
 whose family are unable to arrange a funeral since the 19th century.

紐約市從19世紀以來就把哈特島作為埋葬無名屍或家人無法安葬的公墓。

-----

Before burial, the dead are wrapped in body bags and placed inside pine casket
s. The deceased’s name is scrawled in large letters on each casket, which hel
ps should a body need to be disinterred later. They are buried in long narrow
trenches excavated by digging machines.

在下葬之前，死者會包在屍袋裡然後放在棺材裡。逝者的名字會寫在棺材上，以便之後辨
識死者身份。他們會葬在由挖土機挖掘的長戰壕裡。

“They added two new trenches in case we need them,” Kersten said. To help wi
th the surge, and amid an outbreak of the COVID-19 respiratory illness caused
by the virus at the city’s main jail, contract laborers have been hired, he s
aid.

“We’re all hoping it’s not coming to this,” Kersten said. “At the same ti
me, we’re prepared if it does.”

Kersten表示：我們希望事情不會惡化到這種地步，但同時我們也會準備好如果情況真的
變得這麼糟。

------

OCME can store about 800 to 900 bodies in its buildings, and has room to store
 about 4,000 bodies in some 40 refrigerated trucks it can dispatch around the
city to hospitals, which typically have only small morgues, Worthy-Davis said.

懶人包：

1. 哈特島從19世紀開始就被用來埋葬死者。

2. 戰壕是真的，它們的功用也是拿來存放死者。但是在死者的數量超過城市可以負荷的
容量之前，戰壕不會被拿來埋葬死者。

3. 死者會被裝在屍袋裡，然後裝在棺材裡，不是隨便下葬。
