Swimmers on the popular river beach say there was no warning on a sunny day before the downpour of hailstones, some the size of golf balls and hen eggs. 正值酷暑，西伯利亚一处有名的沙滩却毫无预警地迎来了一场冰雹，冰雹大小堪比高尔夫球和鸡蛋。 Temperatures on Saturday 12 July were as hot as 37C - or 99F - in Siberia's largest city, Novosibirsk, the day the hail cloudburst struck. 7月12日，上周六，西伯利亚最大的城市——新西伯利亚的温度高达37摄氏度（99华氏摄氏度），然而一场大冰雹却突袭而至。 Suddenly in late afternoon heavy winds hit the sandy beach between two bridges across the Ob River, the fifth longest in the world. 下午晚些时候，一阵强风突然袭向了一处位于鄂毕河上两架桥间的沙滩，鄂毕河是世界第五长河。 Swimmers waded out of the water covering their heads. They shielded themselves under parasols and blow-up sun beds to stay clear of the giant hailstones. 游客不得不捂住头部从水中逃出。他们躲在阳伞和充气床下面来避开体积巨大的冰雹。 Some children were in tears, sheltering under trees, as the hail bombardment struck the beach vicinity. 一些孩子哭了，当冰雹砸向沙滩附近后，他们把自己藏在了树后。 'It was like being hit by raining bullets from the sky,' said one sunbather. |
