3.完整新闻内文:
One person was killed and four others injured when an ice cave collapsed
Monday in a national forest in northwest Washington.
华盛顿州一处国家森林内的冰洞于星期一坍方,并造成一死四伤
The incident took place at the Big Four Ice Caves in the Mount
Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, a popular spot for people wanting to get
away from the heat.
此起意外发生在位于贝克史诺瓜米山国家森林内的冰洞,此处为相当受欢迎的避暑胜地
"It's not illegal to go in the caves. However, we've been saying since
mid-May, it's extremely dangerous with all this hot weather," said Shari
Ireton with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office
史诺霍米须郡警长办公室的Shari Ireton表示:
"进入冰洞并不违法,但我们自五月中以来不断警告,冰洞因为天气炎热而变得非常危险"
She said the heat weakens the caves and makes the ice more prone to melting.
她说冰洞因高温变得脆弱,也使得里头的冰有融化的趋势
"There was a large pile of ice and rock that came down," she said. "So it
wasn't just one big slab... it wasn't a piece of a shelf coming off."
"不是只有一片或是一层冰层塌下来而已,而是非常大量的冰块和岩石一起崩塌下来"
Ireton couldn't confirm the gender or age of the person who died because the
body hadn't yet been recovered.
由于尸体尚未寻获,Ireton目前无法确认死者的年龄或是性别
"Because conditions of the ice are so dangerous at this point, teams from
Everett Mountain rescue and other search and rescue volunteers are looking at
conditions to see how safe it is before they go in," she said.
"由于目前冰洞内还是处于相当危险的情况,因此来自埃佛里特山的搜救队及其他
协寻志工在进入冰洞搜救前仍需进行安全性评估"
Two men, a woman and a girl were also injured. The injuries to the adults
were "severe," with leg and pelvic fractures, Ireton said.
Ireton表示:"另外还有两位男士、一位女士和一位女孩受伤。成人的伤势非常严重,
腿部和骨盆都有碎裂的情况"
Three of those hurt were treated at Harborview Medical Center, and all of
them appear to have improved, according to the Seattle hospital.
据西雅图医院表示,其中三位伤者于Harborview医疗中心进行治疗,目前三位的伤势
都已好转
One of them, a 35-year-old woman, was treated and released Monday night.
其中三十五岁的女士已经于星期一晚上出院
A 25-year-old man is in an intensive care unit there, having been upgraded
from critical to serious condition, the hospital said Tuesday. And a
35-year-old man has been moved out of the ICU after going from serious to
satisfactory condition.
医院于星期二表示,一位二十五岁的男士尚未脱离险境并于加护病房中接受治疗。
另一位三十五岁的男士则是在病情回稳后自加护病房转出
Monday's death was the first at the caves since an 11-year-old girl was
crushed by a chunk of ice in 2010.
星期一的冰洞意外是自2010年一位十一岁女孩被一块冰砸死之后的首起死亡案例

I don't understand some people. Swimming with alligators, setting off
fireworks on your head, entering ice caves in hot weather. The Darwin Award
nominations are filling up quickly this year.
真搞不懂一些人,跟鳄鱼一起游泳、在自己头上放烟火、在热到靠北的时候跑进去冰洞玩
今年的达尔文奖提名候选人好快就满了喔
