场景:小华和小红在看到小红书等社交媒体推荐一些所谓“网红打卡地”的时候,既兴奋又犹豫,兴奋是因为看上去网红打卡地特好,犹豫是觉得到底安不安全,没想到看到四川彭州市山洪爆发事件,自己都被吓傻了。
Xiaohua:Xiaohong, do you want to go and visit the highly-recommended places by social media?
小华:小红,你想去那些被社交媒体强烈推荐的地方吗?
Xiaohong:Well, those places seem beautiful but I'm worrying about the safety.
小红:那些地方看起来很美,但我担心安全问题。
Xiaohua:True. Hey, take a look at the latest news here. Seven people died and many injured in a flash flood in Sichuan city of Pengzhou.
小华:对哒,嘿,来看看最新的新闻。四川省彭州市发生山洪暴发,造成7人死亡,多人受伤。
Xiaohong:Wow, that's scary. How could this incident happen?
小红:哇,太吓人了吧。这事件怎么发生的呢?
Xiaohua:Tourists who had been playing in the initially shallow water could be seen running for safety and clambering over rocks as the water rushed towards them, but some were unable to reach the river bank in time.
小华:起初在浅水玩耍的游客们在河水冲过来的时候向安全地带奔跑,吃力地爬上岩石,但有些人无法及时到达河岸。
Xiaohong:So, you mean tourists, including the elderly and children, were camping in tents in the dried-up river, and they were trapped in the flash flood after failing to evacuate in time.
小红:你的意思是,包括老人和孩子在内的游客在干涸的河里搭帐篷,由于没有及时疏散,被困在山洪中。
Xiaohua:Yes. One notice said that the local emergency management bureau had organised local officials and volunteers to try to persuade tourists camping along the river to leave after receiving forecasts of short-term heavy rainfall, but it was in vain.
小华:对哒。一份通告称,当地应急管理局在接到短期强降雨预报后,组织当地官员和志愿者,试图说服在河边露营的游客离开,但没有成功。
Xiaohong:I think the incident could have been avoided.
小红:我认为这件事本来是可以避免的。
