A volcano in Indonesia erupted Saturday, killing at least seven people and severely burning two more.
周六,印度尼西亚一座火山喷发,造成至少7人遇难,2人严重烧伤。
Mount Sinabung erupted just before 5 p.m. local time on the island of Sumatra, throwing hot clouds of ash and rock as high as 2 miles into the air. That pyroclastic flow then descended onto the area nearby.
在苏门答腊岛当地时间下午5点之前,锡纳朋火山发生喷发,将火山灰和岩石形成的热云喷向高达2英里的空中。然后火山碎屑流向附近的区域。
The volcano had been dormant for centuries until it blew in 2010. Since then, it's been highly active, and the government declared a danger zone around the mountain.
这座火山已经休眠了几个世纪,直到2010喷发。自那时以来一直非常活跃,政府在山区周围宣布危险区。
But Indonesian officials said residents still sometimes go near Mount Sinabung to farm. They suspect that's what the victims were doing when it erupted.
但印尼官员表示,居民有时还去锡纳朋火山附近耕作。他们怀疑火山爆发时遇难者正在耕作。
Emergency crews attempted to locate survivors, but the volcano continued heaving hot ash, making rescue attempts difficult.
紧急救援人员试图找到幸存者,但火山继续喷发火山灰,使得救援行动困难。
Mount Sinabung has killed at least 25 and displaced tens of thousands of residents since becoming active in 2010.
自2010年活动以来,锡纳朋火山至少造成25人死亡,成千上万的居民流离失所。
