CNN News: 夏威夷火山狀況

Now for a scientific look at how this eruption is playing out beneath the surface.

現(xiàn)在我們來(lái)看看這次火山噴發(fā)是如何在地表下發(fā)生的。

IVAN CABRERA, CNN METEOROLOGIST: This is the layout here of Leilani Estates. There’s the evacuation zone. There are the closed roads. The new fissures have impacted the eastern area. So, we’ll continue to monitor that, but this whole area, folks have been taken out of the way with good reason as you can imagine, as these things continue to pop out just every few hours, every day or so.

這是Leilani Estates的布局。這是疏散區(qū)。這里有封閉的道路。新的裂縫影響了東部地區(qū)。所以，我們會(huì)繼續(xù)監(jiān)控，但是這整個(gè)區(qū)域，人們已經(jīng)因各種理由被疏散，因?yàn)檫@些熔漿每隔幾個(gè)小時(shí)就會(huì)出現(xiàn)。

This is the lake, of course. This is the account (ph) that I’ve been showing you the last few days, noticing that as the lake drained its lava, it went underground and that’s the lava that’s coming up to the fissures. I think again, that’s going to be the main threat.

這是湖泊。這是我最近幾天給你們看的那個(gè)賬號(hào)，注意到當(dāng)湖水排干了熔巖，它就進(jìn)入了地下，而這就是出現(xiàn)裂縫的熔巖。我認(rèn)為，這將是主要的威脅。

Notice as this continues to go down over the last several days, and one of our last pictures here, we can’t see the lava anymore. That’s an infrared camera, so the red you’re seeing there, that’s basically just heat signature here.

注意到，在過去的幾天里，隨著地面持續(xù)下降，這是我們最后的一張圖片，我們看不到熔巖了。那是紅外線攝像機(jī)，所以你看到的紅色，基本上就是熱信號(hào)。

So, as that lava drops into the crater and into the basically a water table, let’s talk about what could potentially happen as far as this explosive eruption here as we check in with our volcano. There’s the lava and again what happens is, you get these rocks that will continue to fall down and that will create a blockage. And I don’t have to tell you what happens with the kinds of temperatures we’re seeing in here. We’re talking about temperatures well into 1,500 to 2,000 Celsius, right?

當(dāng)熔巖進(jìn)入火山口，進(jìn)入到一個(gè)地下水位時(shí)，我們來(lái)討論一下火山爆發(fā)時(shí)可能發(fā)生的事情。這是熔巖，再一次發(fā)生的是，你得到的這些巖石會(huì)繼續(xù)下降，這將會(huì)造成堵塞。我不需要告訴你們我們?cè)谶@里看到的溫度的變化。我們說的溫度是1500到2000攝氏度。

Those rocks blocking that passageway at some point are going to give and once that goes into the water tables as you see there, we’re going to have -- watch out -- quite an explosion here.

這些巖石擋住了通道，在某個(gè)點(diǎn)上就會(huì)發(fā)生，一旦進(jìn)入到地下水位，我們就會(huì)看到，這里發(fā)生了很大的爆炸。

But again, I’m really not too concerned about this. It’s going to be a spectacular eruption when it happens, but I think, Cyril, because they have evacuated people out of the way, these boulders would sometimes can be the size of a school bus are not going to be impacting many folks. This is going to be within a few meters of the crater here and before that happens, you must imagine people will be getting out of the way, and that’s why they closed the National Volcano Park there in the big island.

我真的不太擔(dān)心這個(gè)。這將是一次壯觀的噴發(fā)，但我認(rèn)為，西里爾，因?yàn)樗麄兪枭⒘巳藗儯袝r(shí)會(huì)像校車一樣大小的巨石不會(huì)對(duì)很多人產(chǎn)生影響。這將會(huì)在火山口的幾米范圍內(nèi)，在此之前，你必須想象人們會(huì)離開這里，這就是為什么關(guān)閉了這座大島的國(guó)家火山公園。
