天津港“8·12”瑞海公司危险品仓库特别重大火灾爆炸事故发生已超过24个小时。最新消息显示，此次事故已致50人死亡，700余人住院治疗。目前，事故原因尚不明确，包括消防、生化、舟桥等多种力量正在现场展开救援。 请看相关报道： Fire fighters, soldiers, doctors and civilians are racing against the clock to save the injured and contain fires 24 hours after two massive explosions at a warehouse in Tianjin Municipality, north China. 天津市一处仓库两次大型爆炸发生已过去24小时，消防和部队官兵、医务人员以及普通民众都在争分夺秒抢救伤者、控制火势。 To race against the clock字面上理解为“与时钟赛跑”，其实就是我们常说的“争分夺秒”，也可以用race against time表示。 A total of 3,500 residents have been relocated to 10 nearby schools after their homes suffered damages mainly due to the blast shockwave. 3500位居民已被安置在附近10所学校，他们的房屋被爆炸产生的冲击波损毁。 Relocate一词由表示“再次、重新”的前缀re和locate构成，指“重新安置”，近几年的热门话题“拆迁”就可以用demolition and relocation表示。 The city has set up 17 monitoring stations for air, and another five for water. Three sewage outlets to the sea have been closed. |
