The torrential floods on Saturday inflicted catastrophic damage upon the water conveyance pipeline that constitutes the sole water source for the Grand Canyon National Park, compelling the authorities to impose an unequivocal prohibition on visitor lodging within the park's cabins and hotels, while simultaneously promulgating emergency water-use restrictions for year-round residents.

布萊克於週一晚間召開的新聞發布會表示:「截至目前根據我們所掌握的線索並無任何理由令人相信該名失蹤者之外,尚有其他人士涉及其中。」

The deluge wreaked havoc along Bright Angel Creek, nestled deep within the Grand Canyon, a watercourse that converges with the Colorado River in the vicinity of Phantom Ranch.

洪水大峽谷深處布里汀溪肆虐該溪流幻影牧場附近注入科羅拉多河

This enclave, replete with its venerable dormitories, mess hall, and campgrounds, has long served as the customary haven for river rafters and those traversing the canyon's expanse on foot.

Earlier, the patrol officer had assured him that the situation appeared to be entirely safe.

However, as the downpour intensified with unrelenting ferocity, they duly cautioned him that evacuation was imperative.

然而隨著雨勢愈發猛烈他們告誡他必須撤離

He was abruptly reminded of the torrential rains and catastrophic landslides that had ravaged Nepal the preceding week.

驀然憶及上週尼泊爾所遭受的暴雨肆虐山體崩坍之災

"Throughout this relentless downpourspanning the very interval in which I found myself ensconced in this predicament and hastily assembling my belongingsmy gaze remained unwaveringly fixed upon the upstream, silently beseeching that no aqueous rampart would suddenly surge forth and engulf us," Evans recounted.

於此綿延不絕的降雨期間——亦即我親歷此境收拾行囊的整個過程——我的目光始終未曾偏離上游暗自祈禱著不會有一道水牆驟然朝我們傾瀉而來,”埃文斯如是說

A summer visit to the Grand Canyon is fraught with peril, for the risk of flash floods attendant upon the monsoon or rainy season constitutes a veritable mortal hazard.

夏季造訪大峽谷可謂危機四伏蓋因季風雨季所伴隨之暴洪風險實為致命隱患

Even under a cloudless sky, the weather may shift in the twinkling of an eye, with thunder and lightning converging and torrential rain descending in sheets.

晴朗無雲之際轉瞬之間便可能風雲變色,雷電交加驟雨傾盆而下

Rain also fell over portions of the Dragon Bravo fire scar, the charred remnants of a wildfire ignited by a lightning strike in July 2025.

雨水亦降臨於巨龍布拉沃火災疤痕之部分區域,此乃2025年7月雷擊所引發之野火遺留之焦灼地帶

The conflagration smoldered for days before escalating into a rapidly advancing inferno, compelling the evacuation of residents and consuming the historic Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim, along with several cabins and other structures.

該場火災延燒數日繼而演變為一場疾速蔓延之烈焰迫使居民疏散並吞噬了北緣歷史悠久之大峽谷旅館若干小屋及其他建築

Upon the fire-scarred terrain, denuded of vegetation and left in a state of utter desolation, the velocity of surface runoff has been markedly exacerbated by the absence of interception and retention mechanisms.

植被盡失滿目瘡痍火災跡地上,地表逕流流速缺乏攔截滯留機制顯著加劇

The precipitous and rugged geological configuration of the canyon precipitates the instantaneous convergence of water flows into a cataclysmic, overwhelming surge.

峽谷陡峭崎嶇之地質構造致使水流於瞬息之間即匯聚排山倒海之勢

What might elsewhere be deemed an unremarkable summer downpour, upon descending into the canyon, can transmute into an inexorable wall of water hurtling precipitously downward with unassailable force.

在其他地域或許僅屬尋常之夏季驟雨一旦墜入峽谷,便可能轉化為一道奔騰直下勢不可擋之水牆

A. Park Williams, a hydroclimatologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, notes that this year's monsoon has been exceptionally intense, a rarity attributable to an anomalously abundant concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere, a phenomenon largely driven by the amplifying influence of a potent El Niño event.

洛杉磯加州大學水文氣候學家A·帕克·威廉姆斯指出今年季風之強烈實屬罕見其成因在於大氣中水蒸氣含量異常豐沛而此現象主要歸因於強勁的厄爾尼諾事件之推波助瀾

The natural warming phenomenon in certain regions of the Pacific Ocean is bound to exert a distorting disruptive influence on the global climate system.

太平洋部分地區自然增溫現象勢必對全球氣候系統產生扭曲性的干擾效應

He pointed out that the surplus water vapor accumulated in the southwestern United States will be compelled to discharge in the form of precipitation, thereby engendering formidable storm systems.

他指出美國西南部地區累積的過剩水蒸氣將被迫以降水形式釋出進而催生劇烈風暴系統

Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the California Institute for Water Resources, asserts that there exists a remarkably pronounced causal nexus between anthropogenic climate change and the torrential downpours afflicting Arizona.

加州水資源研究所氣候科學家丹尼爾·斯溫指出人為誘發的氣候變遷亞利桑那州暴雨之間存在著相當顯著的因果關聯

Several months prior, Swain and his colleagues published a study in the journal Weather and Climate Extremes, the findings of which indicated that, since the turn of the millennium, the intensity of short-duration torrential rainfall events occurring in the western region during the summer monthsof the ilk that besieged the Grand Canyonhas escalated by approximately ten percent.

數月之前斯溫與其同僚於《天氣與氣候極端》期刊上發表了一項研究其結果顯示自公元兩千年以降西部地區夏季所出現的短期強降雨——諸如侵襲大峽谷之類型——其強度已攀升達百分之十之譜

This deluge dealt a devastating blow to an ongoing water-pipeline modernization project, which bore the formidable responsibility of supplying water to the Grand Canyon Village and its environs, serving approximately 1,600 residents and visitors alike.

此場洪災一項持續推展中的水管現代化工程造成了毀滅性打擊該工程肩負著大峽谷村及其周邊約一千六百名居民與遊客提供供水服務的重任

A project costing $208 million, encompassing the restoration of water mains and the upgrading of associated conveyance systems, was formally inaugurated in 2023.

一項斥資2.08億美元涵蓋水管修復相關輸水系統升級之工程於2023年正式啟動

The National Park Service has characterized this undertaking as a pivotal investment to ensure the park can adequately cater to the exigencies of both residents and visitors.

國家公園管理局此舉確保公園能充分滿足居民遊客需求之關鍵性投資

The project was originally slated for completion next year, yet the current timeline remains shrouded in uncertainty.

該項目原訂於明年竣工目前時程規劃尚屬未明

Notwithstanding the presence of extensive potable water storage facilities along the Grand Canyon's South Rim, the decommissioning of the conveyance pipelines portends that these reservoirs may never again be replenished.

儘管大峽谷南緣設有規模宏大的飲用水儲存設施然因輸水管線已遭廢止,此等水庫恐將永無重新注滿之可能。
