Let's start with what's happening in California, not just the state's historic drought, but something is making much worse -- wildfires. The state's wildfires season used to run from spring until fall, now it's year round, with hot, dry trees and brush acting like kindling, causing tens of thousands of acres to burn up.

我们首先关注加州,这个地方不仅迎来了历史性的干旱,而现在森林大火使得该州情势更为严重。该州的自然火灾季节过去常常是从春季一直到秋季,现在是持续一年。炎热、干旱的森林和灌木丛就像引燃物一样引发成千上万英亩的火灾。

加州的官员昨天宣布有两个县进入紧急状态,需要做的是加速为需要帮助的人提供援助,例如,更换他们的出生证明的副本,以及帮助铲除家中的灰烬。

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT : Two massive wildfires burning in northern California are spreading fast and threatening homes, property and lives.

马丁·萨维吉,CNN 记者:在加州北部的两起自然火灾迅速蔓延,威胁到了居民住宅、财产和人身安全。

The so-called Valley Fire in Lake County, 150 miles west of Sacramento, spread from 50 acres to 25,000 in just over 10 hours.

在莱克县, 位于萨克拉门托西部150公里,发生的谷火,燃烧面积在10余个小时内从50公顷迅速蔓延到25000公顷。

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That is a very rapid rate of spread. Very dangerous situation. It's just a reminder this is how the conditions are in California right now. And with the temperatures and low humidity, four years of drought, the conditions are very extreme.

女:这个速度非常的快。也很危险。这只是提醒现在加州的情况是怎样。由于温度骤变以及湿度较低,再加上四年的干旱,现在加州的情况非常的恶劣。

SAVIDGE: Four firefighters were injured in the Valley Fire. They've been transported to the U.C.-Davis burn treatment center, where they are in stable condition.

在谷火中有四名消防员受伤。他们已经被转移到了加州大学戴维斯烧伤治疗中心,现在情况稳定。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm sure they're emotionally and physically drained after being stuck in a situation where your life is on the line doing your job.

女:我肯定在自己的工作岗位上命悬一线,被困在大火灾中,现在他们已经心智焦灼。

SAVIDGE: Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for many communities in the fire zone, a shaken Joyce Reim got out just in time.

萨维吉:在火灾地区的许多社区已经下了强制撤离的命令,受到惊吓的乔伊·斯雷姆被及时带离了火灾区。

JOYCE REIM, WILDFIRE EVACUEE: We were stuck in the middle of the fire for a while, and couldn't go either way. And where near we were stuck, we saw the flames going up the hill toward our house.

乔伊·斯雷姆,火灾撤离人员:我们在大火里被困了一会,那也不能去。在我们被困的地方,我们看到火焰攀越山头向我们家涌来。

SAVIDGE: Meanwhile, the Butte Fire, about 70 miles east of Sacramento has grown to 65,000 acres, also fuelled by dry conditions.

萨维吉:与此同时,萨克拉门托以东约70英里处同样由于干旱引发的恶火也已蔓延至65000亩。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Within 15 minutes, we were sitting in the backyard and these trees were all on fire when we left. And they came up in minutes.

女:我们坐在后院,不到15分钟。当我么离开的时候,这些树木已经被大火缠上了。短短的几分钟,这些大火就席卷而来。

SAVIDGE: More than 6,000 homes being threatened there, some already destroyed. In both fires, residents say they had very little time to escape the fast-moving flames.

萨维吉:超过6000个家庭受到威胁,有些房子已被火焰吞噬。面临突如其来的这两场大火,当地居民称他们几乎没有时间从熊熊烈火中逃离。

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We smelled the smoke and we went outside. And our neighbors were in a panic. They told us to leave. We went across and helped them get their important things out of their home. Their barn, unfortunately, burnt down.

女:我们闻到了烟味就出来了,我们的邻居们陷入了恐慌。他们告诉我们离开。我们走过去帮助他们从家中取出重要的物品。不幸的是,他们的谷仓,被烧毁了。
