译语翻译分享-低潮！水城威尼斯严重缺水 原因分析

 

【TechWeb】3月4日消息，近期，素有“水城”之称的意大利古城威尼斯水位大幅下降，出现了罕见的缺水现象，内陆河道多处干涸，一片泥泞，当地的主要交通工具“贡多拉船”纷纷搁浅在岸边。威尼斯内陆河流目前的平均水位为海拔负0.35米，与去年遭遇洪灾时的水位形成巨大反差。

 [TechWeb] News on March 4th. Recently, the water level in Venice, the ancient Italian city known as the "water city", has dropped sharply, and there has been a rare water shortage. Many inland rivers have dried up and are muddy. The local main means of transportation. Gondola boats ran aground on the shore one after another. The current average water level of Venice’s inland rivers is minus 0.35 meters above sea level, which is a huge contrast to the water level of last year when it was flooded.

意大利东北部著名的“水城”威尼斯从2月底开始出现罕见低水位，运河水位下降，不少河道干涸，具有当地特色的贡多拉船也搁浅在淤泥中。

Venice, the famous "water city" in northeastern Italy, has experienced a rare low water level since the end of February. The water level of the canals has dropped, many rivers have dried up, and gondolas with local characteristics have also ran aground in the silt.

Venice is "born because of water" and "beautiful because of water", but now it is "worried by water." People can't help asking, why on earth?

威尼斯“因水而生”“因水而美”，如今却“因水而忧”，人们不禁要问，这到底是为什么？

分析指出，威尼斯城建于威尼斯潟湖内的滩涂之上，潟湖与亚得里亚海相连。每当遭遇大风、暴雨天气，亚得里亚海的海水会出现倒灌；而如出现强高压影响，潟湖水位则会下降。分析认为，这就是“水城”的水为什么这么难以捉摸的主要原因。

The analysis pointed out that the city of Venice was built on the tidal flat in the Venice Lagoon, which is connected to the Adriatic Sea. Whenever it encounters strong winds and heavy rains, the seawater of the Adriatic Sea will invert; and if there is a strong high pressure, the water level of the lagoon will drop. The analysis believes that this is the main reason why the water in the "Water City" is so elusive.
