Now, over the weekend, thousands of volunteers now joined by soldiers have been trying to clear a so much of the beaches they can.

現在，在週末，數以千計的志願者現在加入的阿兵哥一直試圖清除這麼多的海灘，他們可以。

You can see the kind of painstaking work this is.

可見這是個什麼樣的苦差事。

A lot of the tar is embedded below the sad.

很多焦油嵌在下面傷心。

This is incredibly sticky stuff, so you can see the real problem with that.

這東西粘性極大，可見真正的問題所在。

They've had to ask people to register before they just sharpen the beach because of the potential toxic nature.

由於潛在的毒性，他們不得不要求人們在他們剛剛磨好沙灘之前進行登記。

How did it all happen?

這一切是怎麼發生的？

Well, that remains something of a mystery.

嗯，這仍然是一個謎。

The Israeli government is using marine tracking data, also satellite information from a European agency.

以色列政府正在使用海洋跟蹤數據，也是歐洲一個機構的衛星資訊。

They think the most likely scenario is a ship out at sea around 30 miles out at sea, probably around a week ago or a bit mawr on that there was an undeclared oil spill, and they're using all that information to try and close in the moment on around nine different vessels that they think could be the culprit.

他們認為最可能的情況是一艘船在30英里外的海面上 大概一週前或更早的時候發生了未申報的漏油事件 他們正在利用所有的資訊來試圖接近9艘不同的船隻 他們認為這些船隻可能是罪魁禍首

But so far no definitive answer on that.

但至今沒有明確的答案。

They think the slick itself is under control.

他們認為滑頭本身已經被控制了。

They've been using planes to try and monitor it, and that is largely dissipated.

他們一直在用飛機試圖監控它，而這一點已經基本消散了。

So now it is just this clear up work.

所以現在只是這個清理工作。

One local environmental official here described it as a catastrophe and said it could take many months or even years to fully clear it up.

當地一位環保官員在此形容這是一場災難，並表示可能需要很多個月甚至幾年的時間才能完全清除。
