We are normally during a fire season which happens in the fall.

There's something like six fires and they keep popping up and what's even more usual is that the fire behavior and the winds are things we've never seen.

大概有六場大火，而且還在不斷地發生，更常見的是，火勢和風力都是我們從未見過的。

We saw this in Hawaii a couple years ago and we're seeing it here and unpredictable behavior, uncontrollable winds driving these fires to cause mass devastation.

We had a couple of our canine therapy dogs available not only for the firefighters but for the families that were starting to come in and seeing their homes and the devastation that you know a street and a block where it's completely decimated and then there's one house standing and you ask yourself why and so it's very very emotional and unfortunately we have some resources that we can use to help not only the firefighters but also the public as well.

我們有幾隻犬類治療犬，它們不僅可以幫助消防員，還可以幫助那些陸續趕來的家庭，它們看到自己的家園遭到破壞，一條街道和一個街區被徹底摧毀，只有一棟房子屹立不倒，你會問自己為什麼會這樣，所以這是非常非常令人感動的，不幸的是，我們有一些資源，不僅可以用來幫助消防員，還可以幫助公眾。

Lin there on the many many challenges facing the firefighters.

林就消防員面臨的許許多多挑戰發表了講話。

Well our North America correspondent David Willis is in Altadena.

我們的北美記者大衛-威利斯正在阿爾塔蒂納。

He spoke to Nikki Schiller a little bit earlier and Nikki asked David about the evacuation order which is extending into the Brentwood area.

他稍早與尼基-席勒（Nikki Schiller）進行了交談，尼基向戴維詢問了延伸至布倫特伍德地區的疏散令。

That's an area that includes the University of California and also the Getty Center which is home to thousands of priceless works of art.

該地區包括加利福尼亞大學和蓋蒂中心，後者是數千件無價藝術品的所在地。

It's a very nerve-wracking time and this is also something that affects other less populated but nonetheless quite busy areas, Encino, Tarzana and so on.

這是一個非常令人緊張的時刻，這也影響到其他人口較少但相當繁華的地區，如恩西諾（Encino）、塔扎那（Tarzana）等。

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.

對於消防員來說，這是一個非常艱難的時刻，因為他們本以為已經開始控制住了這場最大的大火--太平洋帕利塞德大火，但就在昨晚，風向突變導致火勢一夜之間擴大了一千英畝。

That's the sort of challenge that firefighters are up against at the moment Nikki because it is just down to the elements ultimately.

這就是消防員尼基目前面臨的挑戰，因為最終還是要靠自然因素。

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。

Grim prospect that the authorities face of trying to piece together what happened here, what caused these wildfires.

當局面臨著嚴峻的前景，試圖拼湊出這裡發生了什麼，是什麼導致了這些野火。

You're absolutely right, teams with cadaver dogs due to go into worst affected areas such as this one, Pasadena, Altadena and of course the area that was completely destroyed in Pacific, Palisades.

你說得很對，帶著搜屍犬的小分隊將深入受災最嚴重的地區，比如這裡、帕薩迪納、阿爾塔迪納，當然還有帕利塞德太平洋被完全摧毀的地區。

We heard today from the LA coroner's office that 16, identified 16 different human remains and of course identifying those will be almost impossible because of the state of them and the sheriff's deputies here have been hinting for days that the death toll could rise considerably.

我們今天從洛杉磯驗屍官辦公室瞭解到，已經確認了16具不同的遺骸，當然，由於遺骸的狀況，確認這些遺骸幾乎是不可能的，而這裡的警長已經暗示了好幾天，死亡人數可能會大幅上升。

There was reports a few days ago of a man, the body of a man being found in his driveway with a hose pipe in his hand, just a sign of the terrible tragedy that has befallen this part of southern California.

幾天前有報道稱，一名男子的屍體在自家車道上被發現，他手裡拿著一根水管，這只是南加州這一地區遭遇可怕悲劇的一個跡象。

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。
