BINOD GHIMIRE, CLAIRE MOSES2026年9月1日 Sunil Kataria/Reuters; Rajesh Kumar Singh/Associated PressWednesday seemed like any other morning for Rajendra Dawadi, the principal of a school in Nepal.对尼泊尔一所学校的校长拉金德拉·达瓦迪来说，上周三早晨似乎与往日无异。“Everything was going normally,” he said.“一切都很正常，”他说。That changed around 9:10 a.m., when Mr. Dawadi was teaching a class at the Tribhuvan Trishuli School in Nuwakot, a district just north of Kathmandu, the country’s capital. A staff member burst into the classroom, shouting that a major flood was headed their way.上午9点10分左右，情况发生了变化。当时达瓦迪正在首都加德满都以北努瓦科特地区的特里布万·特里舒尔学校上课。一名职工冲进教室，大喊一场大洪水正朝他们袭来。The news began to spread as relatives living upstream sent warnings to anyone in the path of the fast-approaching flood waters.消息开始传开，上游的亲属纷纷向这场急速逼近的洪水即将席卷之处的所有人发出警告。Mr. Dawadi had to make some quick decisions.达瓦迪必须当机立断。He told all the children who were present — about 900 of the school’s total 1,643 students — to run to higher ground. Only older pupils, ages 11 to 18, were at school when the floods hit, which aided the quick evacuation, Mr. Dawadi said. (The younger students did not start class until 10 a.m.)他告诉所有在校的孩子——学校总共1643名学生中的约900人——向高处跑。达瓦迪说，洪水来袭时，只有年龄较大的学生（11至18岁）在学校，这有助于快速疏散。（年纪较小的学生上午10点才开始上课。）“They were old enough to run immediately,” he said in a phone interview on Monday. “It would not have been possible to save everyone, had kindergarten and primary school students also been there.”他在周一接受电话采访时说：“他们年龄够大，可以立即跑开。如果幼儿园和小学的学生当时也在，就不可能救下所有人。”周一，尼泊尔努瓦科特县，特里苏里河沿岸的受损建筑，这里曾是特里布万·特里舒尔学校的所在地。Pupils who had arrived at the school earlier by bus were told to get back on them, and Mr. Dawadi instructed the drivers to leave the area as quickly as possible.早些时候乘公交车到校的学生被要求回到车上，达瓦迪指示司机尽快离开这里。“A couple of students became traumatized and fainted,” Mr. Dawadi said, adding that those children were transported to safety on teachers’ motorbikes.“有几个学生受到惊吓晕倒了，”达瓦迪说，并补充说这些孩子被老师用摩托车送到了安全地带。“I thought that even if the warning turned out to be wrong, the worst it would cost us was one day of study,” Mr. Dawadi said. “But taking it lightly could mean the loss of hundreds of lives.”“我当时想，即使警报是错的，最坏的结果也就是浪费一天的学习时间，”达瓦迪说。“但如果掉以轻心，就可能意味着失去数百条生命。”His swift evacuation plan saved those lives.他迅速的疏散计划挽救了许多生命。Around 9:23 a.m., about 13 minutes after Mr. Dawadi heard the first warning, a deluge of water, mud and debris swept through the area. The school was destroyed in seconds, and at least one teacher remained missing as of Monday, Mr. Dawadi said.上午9点23分左右，即在达瓦迪听到第一次警告后大约13分钟，一股裹挟着水和泥浆的洪流席卷了该地区。学校在几秒钟内被摧毁，达瓦迪说，截至周一，至少有一名教师仍然失踪。At least 4,200 people were missing in Nepal as of Monday, less than a week after a torrent of water tore through the Himalayan river valleys, sweeping away buildings, homes, roads and other infrastructure.截至周一，尼泊尔至少有4200人失踪。上周的洪流冲过喜马拉雅山河谷，冲毁了建筑物、房屋、道路和其他基础设施。Only a fraction of the thousands of missing had been identified among the dead, and officials said they expected the death toll to increase. So far, the authorities said, the disaster had killed nearly 1,000 people in Nepal.数千名失踪者中只有一小部分被确认为死者，官员们表示，预计死亡人数还会增加。当局表示，到目前为止，这场灾害已在尼泊尔造成近1000人死亡。The students’ rescue was a rarity among the reports of missing and dead and amid the destruction from the floods. In Bharatpur, a city southwest of the school, hundreds of bodies had washed up downstream. The local morgues had received far more bodies than they could accommodate.这场洪水造成了严重破坏和大量人员伤亡，这些学生的获救实属罕见。在学校西南方的城市巴拉特普尔，从上游冲下来数百具尸体。这远远超出了当地停尸房的容纳能力。Over the weekend, rescue workers struggled to extricate workers trapped in hydropower tunnels. The Nepal Army said its thermal drones were not detecting any signs of life.上周末，救援人员奋力解救被困在水电站隧洞中的工人。尼泊尔军方表示，他们的热成像无人机没有探测到任何生命迹象。The floods also destroyed miles of roads and disrupted communications. Video footage and images showed a debris-choked river wiping out bridges and partly burying towns in mud.洪水还摧毁了大量道路，导致通讯中断。视频片段和图像显示，满是碎石的河流冲垮了桥梁，并使部分城镇被泥浆掩埋。“I am extremely emotional to see the school completely swept away,” said Mr. Dawadi, who was a student there before becoming the principal years later. “The school holds so many memories for me.”“看到学校被完全冲走，我无比感慨，”达瓦迪说。他在成为校长之前曾是该校的学生。“这所学校承载了我太多的回忆。”The building had been built over many years, he said. Now, all that remained were two school buses.他说，学校的房子是花了多年建成的。现在只剩下两辆校车。“We saved lives, but now there is no place to teach the students,” Mr. Dawadi said. “I am already worried about how we can start teaching and learning again.”“人是救下来了，但现在没有地方教课了，”达瓦迪说。“我已经开始担心怎么才能重新开始上课和学习。”Claire Moses是时报驻伦敦记者，主要报道突发新闻和热点新闻。翻译：经雷点击查看本文英文版。获取更多RSS：https://feedx.net https://feedx.site
