大雨終于在澳大利亞傾盆而下，撲滅了30多起致命的森林大火

Finally, the moment that the whole world was waiting for came around – Australia received heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and flash floods. The downpours have already helped to extinguish 32 bushfires in New South Wales alone, as the number of fires fell from 120 to 88 on Thursday. The Bureau of Meteorology are expecting 30 and 80mm worth of rain in the east of New South Wales, between Thursday and Sunday. People are speculating that it might finally bring relief to the exhausted firefighters who have battled the deadly flames for over three months now.

終于，全世界都在等待的那一刻到來了——澳大利亞迎來了暴雨、雷雨和山洪。單是在新南威爾士州，傾盆大雨已經(jīng)幫助撲滅了32起森林大火，火災(zāi)數(shù)量從周四的120起下降到88起。氣象局預(yù)計在周四到周日之間，新南威爾士州東部將有30到80毫米的降雨。人們猜測，這可能最終會給那些與致命的火焰戰(zhàn)斗了三個多月的疲憊的消防員帶來解脫。

The local meteorology bureau reports that there were some “good falls” in the state of New South Wales – part of the country where many of the worst bushfires occurred. New South Wales Rural Fire Service shared a video of the rain falling down and wrote: “Relief is here for a number of firefighters working across NSW. Although this rain won’t extinguish all fires, it will certainly go a long way towards containment.”

當(dāng)?shù)貧庀缶謭蟾嬲f，新南威爾士州出現(xiàn)了一些“好瀑布”。新南威爾士州是澳大利亞發(fā)生許多嚴(yán)重森林火災(zāi)的地區(qū)。新南威爾士州農(nóng)村消防局分享了一段下雨的視頻，并寫道:“為新南威爾士州各地的消防員提供救援。雖然這場雨不會撲滅所有大火，但它肯定會對遏制火勢大有幫助。”

The meteorology bureau has also reported that, “The hit & miss nature of thunderstorms means it’s difficult to forecast exactly where the heaviest rain will be—some parts of bushfire & drought-affected eastern Australia could see 50–100 mm over the next few days; while others may see very little.”

氣象局還報告說，“雷暴的偶發(fā)性質(zhì)意味著很難準(zhǔn)確預(yù)測哪里會有最大的降雨——未來幾天受森林大火和干旱影響的澳大利亞東部部分地區(qū)可能會有50-100毫米的降雨;而其他地區(qū)可能會很少。”

The regions of New South Wales and Victoria, have received approximately 15mm of rain that was so desperately needed this Wednesday and Thursday. The severe thunderstorms have also caused flooding in Melbourne. While the rain has dampened the fires, more than 80 of them continue burning in the New South Wales area and 18 of them – in Victoria.

新南威爾士州和維多利亞州已經(jīng)收到了大約15毫米的降雨，這是本周三和周四迫切需要的。嚴(yán)重的雷暴還導(dǎo)致墨爾本洪水泛濫。雖然雨水已經(jīng)澆滅了大火，但新南威爾士州地區(qū)仍有80多座大火在燃燒，維多利亞州有18座。
