基礎數量詞

過去簡單式

Officials say fire alarms in all eight blocks were not working effectively and the blaze started from a lower level and moved up the buildings.

官員表示，該建築群八棟建築的火警警報都未能有效運作，火勢從低樓層開始向上蔓延。

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.

The police say they will start entering the complex today to begin gathering evidence and that an investigation will be carried out over the next few weeks.

警方表示，他們今天將開始進入建築群收集證據，並在接下來幾週進行調查。

The entire estate had been undergoing renovations and was wrapped in bamboo scaffolding and green mesh.

整個社區正在進行翻新工程，並被竹製鷹架和綠色網罩包覆。

Well, for the very latest, we can speak now to our correspondent Martin Yip who is at the scene.

好的，最新的消息，我們可以連線到現場的記者 Martin Yip。

That death toll and the number missing continuing to rise.

死亡人數和失蹤人數持續攀升。

Just bring us up to date with a very latest on the search and rescue operation.

請為我們更新搜救行動的最新進展。

Yes, so the security secretary, Chris Tang have given a press conference not so long ago and he said that now the fire is out, but

是的，保安局局長鄧炳強不久前召開了記者會，他說現在火已經撲滅，但是

that still, it still takes time to kind of tidy up the place for in terms of temperature is still a very hot scene.

這裡的溫度仍然很高，清理現場還需要一些時間。

So police investigation investigators might not be able to go in until maybe another few hours.

警方調查人員可能還要幾個小時才能進入。

But just before I come to this corner, there were a busload of people dressed in protective gears, just like what you would have seen during the COVID 19 days at hospitals.

但在我來到這個角落之前，有一整輛巴士的人穿著防護裝備，就像你們在 COVID 19 期間在醫院看到的那樣。

So likely they are forensic experts who are coming to start gathering evidence here.

他們很可能是來這裡收集證據的法醫專家。

And Chris Tan did say that they are expecting to find possibly more remains of those who have disease as they move into.

鄧炳強先生也說，他們預計在進入後可能會發現更多罹難者的遺體。

I'm just in another corner of the fireside.

我就在火災現場的另一個角落。

This is Kwong Folk Estate just next to it.

And back at my back, this white building is Kwong Folk Community hall where identification of those who have died is being organized.

而在我身後，這棟白色建築是廣福社區中心，正在組織罹難者身分識別。

Right here they are using albums for those who might have lost their loved ones to come and see if they have indeed lost someone who they love.

在這裡，他們正利用相簿讓可能失去親人的人來辨認，看看他們是否真的失去了摯愛。

Martin, I mean the, the reports coming from the search and rescue team suggests that the conditions are extremely difficult still in the buildings that even where the fires have been put out, temperatures can be up to sort of 200 degrees Celsius.

Martin，搜救隊的報告顯示，即使火勢已撲滅的建築物內，溫度仍可高達攝氏兩百度，情況極其艱難。

So incredibly difficult to, to find anybody that might have survived.

是以，要找到任何可能倖存的人非常困難。

And that's why just to get investigators in may take another hours.

這也是為何調查人員可能還需要數小時才能進入。

And the fire service is still working on it.

And the next phase would, could well be, would definitely be the investigation that might take three to four weeks.

下一個階段，很可能，而且肯定會是調查，這可能需要三到四周的時間。

And beside of that, the very Fact of the temperature have left firefighters possibly with without much choice but to leave some of the disease behind for now.

此外，高溫的事實可能讓消防員別無選擇，只能暫時將一些遺體留在原地。

There are, at least, according to Chris Tang, some 16 people who have died are still inside the building and they can't move their remains just yet.

根據鄧炳強的說法，至少有 16 人已在建築物內死亡，目前還無法移動他們的遺體。

So it would really take times, take time to make further progress in terms of recovery rather than rescue.

是以，在尋獲遺體方面，可能還需要一些時間才能有進一步的進展，而不是搜救。

And just bring us right up to date with the investigation into what might have started this fire or at least what might have led it to spread so quickly.

並且讓我們瞭解最新的調查進度，以釐清火災的起因，或至少是什麼原因導致火勢迅速蔓延。

Yes, Chris Tang again, the Secretary for Security, did say that they now believe is the green smash that used to cover the bamboo scaffolding that that first caught fire, that it spread it to a point where it reached some firms being used to cover the windows of the residential apartments.

是的，同樣是保安局局長鄧炳強表示，他們現在相信是覆蓋竹製鷹架的綠色網罩先著火，火勢蔓延到覆蓋住宅公寓窗戶的某些帆布。

From there, some bamboo burned to the point that it broke up and then fell into some other apartments called causing the fire to spread further.

從那裡，一些竹子燃燒到斷裂並掉落到其他公寓，導致火勢進一步蔓延。

But when it comes to the question of what has actually.

What actually ignited the whole thing, Christine is holding off from confirming anything.

到底是什麼點燃了整場大火，Christine 暫時沒有證實任何事。

There are reports chasing on whether it's because of construction workers leaving burning secret butts behind, which we saw video circulating on the Internet, but

有報導稱，是因為建築工人留下燃燒的菸蒂，我們在網路上看到相關影片，但

he's not confirming that and he insists the investigation is still going on.

他沒有證實這一點，並堅持調查仍在進行中。

Okay, Martin Yip for the moment, thank you.

Just to make sure we're fully updated with the situation from Hong Kong.

只是為了確保我們完全掌握香港的最新情況。

But joining me now is Professor Ho Wing Yip, senior electrical and Building Services Engineer from Hong Kong.

現在加入我們的是來自香港的資深電機及建築服務工程師何永業教授。

Thank you for talking to us here on BBC News.

We heard some detail there from Martin about theories into why the fire spread so quickly.

我們剛才聽 Martin 說了一些關於火勢為何迅速蔓延的理論細節。

What do you look at with your expert eye and see as possible reasons why this devastating fire took hold?

以您專業的眼光來看，您認為有哪些可能的原因導致這場毀滅性的火災發生？

First of all, I would like to express my personal feeling that I'm really shocked and saddened by the news.

首先，我想表達我個人感到非常震驚和難過。

As the number of deaths is still increasing, I worry that the ultimate number, eventually the number will well exceed 100, even 400.

隨著死亡人數持續攀升，我擔心最終數字，甚至會遠超過一百人，甚至四百人。

Okay, going back to the reasons of the fire, I think first of all, the using over the home board to cover the window is the, I think the most major reason.

好的，回到火災原因，我認為首先，使用居家隔熱板覆蓋窗戶，我認為這是最主要的原因。

And with the ignition of the home board, the fire have then, I think, ignited the protective net outside the scaffold.

隨著居家隔熱板的點燃，火勢接著，我認為，點燃了鷹架外的保護網。

And ultimately the bamboo scaffold may have added some, you know, burning fuel to the fire.

而竹製鷹架最終可能為火勢添了些，你知道，燃燒的燃料。

But I want to go back to one very fundamental thing.

但我想回到一個非常根本的事情。

If fire occurred, if people were alerted of the fire, they should run away from the building.

如果發生火災，如果人們被警示火災，他們應該逃離建築物。

But I was given to understand that and I've heard the problems that the fire alarm system didn't work.

但我被告知，而且我聽說了問題，就是火警警報系統沒有作用。

If the fire alarm system has been shut down purposely, that would be really, really sad or even a criminal act.

如果火警警報系統是故意關閉的，那將會非常、非常令人難過，甚至構成刑事行為。

As the purposes of the fire alarm is not only to trick the fire alarm alerted people to go away, but

火警警報的目的不只是要警示人們離開，

it has to trigger the operation of fire pump.

There was a press conference given this morning which as you say, suggested that the fire alarms were not working properly in the buildings.

今天早上有一場記者會，正如您所說，會中指出建築物的火警警報系統沒有正常運作。

We've been looking at the pictures of them and they were being refurbished these, these tower blocks, the eight tower blocks.

我們一直在看那些照片，這些高樓，這八棟高樓正在進行翻新。

And you've spoken there about the Styrofoam, which is also being looked at as to whether it could have contributed to the spread of the fire so quickly.

您提到了保麗龍，這也被列入檢討，看它是否可能導致火勢如此快速蔓延。

But I would like to correct that not all eight buildings have been affected.

不過我想更正一下，並不是全部八棟建築都受到影響。

Only seven out of these eight buildings have been affected.

在這八棟建築中，只有七棟受到影響。

風，所以火災期間沒有受到影響。

Yes, I think that has contributed to the spread of fire.

是的，我認為這助長了火勢的蔓延。

As if they, if they are not of fire retarded materials.

好像它們，如果它們不是防火材料的話。

Fire will start and propagate easily from the bottom of the building up to the top of the building.

火勢會從建築底部開始並很容易向上蔓延到頂部。

And with the flying ash from one building, they will be blowed by wind to another building and has become the sources of fire of another building.

而飛灰從一棟建築傳到另一棟，被風吹到另一棟建築，成為另一棟建築的火源。

But we appreciate your expertise this morning, Professor Ho Wing, Senior Electrical and Building Services engineer.

但我們非常感謝您今天的專業分析，何永教授，資深電機及樓宇服務工程師。
