巴西弗纳斯湖落石造成的死亡人数上升至10人

The death toll from a rockfall in Lake Furnas, Brazil, has risen to ten, rescue teams said on Sunday.

救援队周日表示，巴西弗纳斯湖落石造成的死亡人数已升至10人。

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when several large rocks collapsed from a canyon and toppled onto four boats carrying tourists across Lake Furnas in the municipality of Capitolio, about 300 km from Belo Horizonte, capital of the Minas Gerais state.

这起事件发生在周六下午，当时几块大岩石从峡谷坍塌，并倾覆到四艘载着游客穿过卡皮托里奥市弗纳斯湖的船上。卡皮托里奥市距离米纳斯吉拉斯州首府贝洛奥里藏特约300公里。

The ten who died were on the boat that suffered the biggest impact from the rockfall, according to rescuers.

据救援人员称，10名遇难者都在落石冲击最大的船上。

In addition to the deceased, a total of 32 people were injured, 29 of whom have already been discharged.

除死者外，共有32人受伤，其中29人已出院。

There had been heavy rains in the region on Saturday morning, which geologists believe may have caused the rocks to fall.

周六早上该地区下了大雨，地质学家认为这可能是导致岩石掉落的原因。
