It's a very very difficult time for the firefighters because they thought they were starting to get the edge on this the biggest blaze the Pacific Palisades fire and it was just this twist in the wind last night which caused the fire to grow a thousand acres in size overnight.

They're bombing these fires from the air, pouring gallons of water, flame retardant and so on.

他們從空中轟炸火場，傾瀉數加侖的水、阻燃劑等等。

You've seen pictures of that of course and it's having an effect but they can only do it when it's safe to get those aircraft up in the air and of course as soon as the winds change they're not able to do that and there is a very small window because Monday night into Tuesday the winds are expected to pick up very violently once again, perhaps up to 70 or 80 miles an hour, almost hurricane speed winds and that will mean that the challenge for firefighters is all the greater.

當然，你們已經看到了相關圖片，這已經產生了影響，但他們只能在飛機能夠安全升空的情況下才能這樣做，當然，一旦風向發生變化，他們就無法這樣做了，而且時間非常緊迫，因為預計週一晚上到週二，風速將再次猛增，可能達到每小時 70 或 80 英里，幾乎是颶風的速度，這意味著消防員面臨的挑戰將更加嚴峻。

It's going to be very difficult, I mean the question rises as well, do people want to go back to these communities?

這將是非常困難的，我的意思是問題也隨之而來，人們願意回到這些社區嗎？

I spoke to one person the other day whose house had survived the fires but it was the only one in the street that had done so, so he lost as well as his neighbor's houses, gone was the local church, the local grocery store and so on.

前幾天我和一個人聊過，他的房子在大火中倖免於難，但這是這條街上唯一倖免於難的房子，所以他和鄰居的房子都沒了，當地的教堂、雜貨店等等也都沒了。

So it begs the question, are these communities going to want to rebuild and if so at what cost and where does the come from because there aren't enough construction workers you wouldn't have thought to rebuild the size of the area around here, Autadena, Pasadena, where I'm speaking to you from, let alone the area along the coast there.

這就引出了一個問題：這些社區是否願意重建，如果願意，費用是多少，資金從哪裡來，因為沒有足夠的建築工人。

So a lot of questions really and these are questions that will be dogging officials here and residents here for years probably to come.

是以，問題真的很多，而且這些問題可能在未來幾年都會困擾著這裡的官員和居民。

One thing I would say is this is a part of the world that has seen natural disasters in the past, seen earthquakes and riots and floods and so on and has a reputation as the capital of reinvention if you like.

我想說的一點是，這裡是世界上曾經發生過自然災害、地震、騷亂和洪水等的地區，享有 "重塑之都 "的美譽。

This is a place where people come to chase their dreams and those dreams can be quite durable, the people here are quite durable and I think a lot of them won't be put back for too long by the terrible disaster that has unfolded and continues to unfold here over the last few days and weeks.

這是一個人們來追逐夢想的地方，而這些夢想可能是相當持久的，這裡的人們也是相當持久的，我認為他們中的很多人不會因為過去幾天和幾周在這裡發生並將繼續發生的可怕災難而退縮太久。
