CNN News: 南亞暴雨致洪災(zāi)泛濫

And our first stop is in Southern Asia, where massive flooding tied to monsoon season is soaking parts of Nepal, as well as areas of India and neighboring Bangladesh.
今天首先來關(guān)注南亞。季風(fēng)季節(jié)導(dǎo)致的洪水泛濫席卷了尼泊爾部分地區(qū)、印度及鄰國孟加拉國。
Heavy rains are typical in this region during August, which is when the monsoon rains blow in. But aide workers affiliated with the Red Cross say this season has been worse than usual, that some of the affected areas haven't seen flooding like this in decades.
該地區(qū)8月份下暴雨很常見，因為此時正值季風(fēng)雨來臨之際。但是，紅十字會的救援人員表示，今年的季風(fēng)雨季比以往更糟，一些受影響地區(qū)幾十年都沒有遭遇過如此嚴重的洪災(zāi)。
Hundreds of people have been killed in floods and landslides. Tens of thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed, and with some communities completely cut off, the only way to get them help and supplies is by boat.
洪水和滑坡已導(dǎo)致數(shù)百人喪生。數(shù)萬房屋或受損或被毀，一些社區(qū)與外界的聯(lián)系完全被切斷，只能通過船運為他們提供幫助和補給。
The waters are receding in Nepal and a government spokesman there says the situation is improving. Aide workers are on the lookout for diseases that can follow natural disasters like malaria and other bacterial infections. They can be spread through tainted water supplies and the lack of sanitation.
尼泊爾的洪水正在逐漸退去，一名政府發(fā)言人表示情況正在好轉(zhuǎn)。救援人員正密切關(guān)注伴隨自然災(zāi)害發(fā)生的疾病——比如瘧疾和其他細菌感染疾病。這些疾病會通過受污染的水源傳播，或因衛(wèi)生設(shè)施條件差而傳播。
Southern Asia is one of the wettest regions on the planet and many cities there were not properly built to account for flooding.
南亞是全球降水最多的地區(qū)之一，且許多城市因建設(shè)不合理而無法抵抗洪水。
