MUJIB MASHAL, BINOD GHIMIRE2026年9月3日尼泊尔丹格市集的一座绿房子在洪水中屹立不倒。 Francis Mascarenhas/ReutersFor some, it’s become known as the “miracle” green house. For others arriving to stare in wonderment and take selfies, it is simply “the viral house.”一些人将它称为“奇迹”绿房子。而对那些前来围观惊叹并且自拍的游客来说,它就是那座“网红房子”。When a ferocious torrent of water, mud and debris swept away everything in its path in Nepal last week, it created a whirlpool of destruction around the Pyakurel family home in Dhunge Bazaar. A video spread far and wide on social media, showing the family helplessly looking down from their third-floor balcony at the angry deluge slamming against their home, the waves trying to lap them up.上周,凶猛的水流、泥浆和碎片横扫尼泊尔,将沿途一切冲得无影无踪,丹格市集的皮亚库雷尔一家的房屋周围形成了一个毁灭性的漩涡。一段视频在社交媒体上被广泛传播,画面显示,这家人站在三楼阳台上,无奈地看着愤怒的洪水猛烈冲击他们的家,汹涌的波涛似乎就要将他们吞没。But the house stood firm.但这座房子却岿然不动。Chhatra Bahadur Pyakurel, 67, said he had just dropped his grandson off at the school bus and returned home when the floods — caused by a massive glacier collapse in the Himalayan region between Nepal and Tibet — reached their home.67岁的查特拉·巴哈杜尔·皮亚库雷尔说,他刚把孙子送上校车回到家,洪水就冲到了他们家。这场洪水是由尼泊尔和西藏之间喜马拉雅地区的大规模冰川崩塌引发的。For over an hour, all the family could do was watch the carnage around them — first from the balcony, and then after climbing to the roof, as the wall of water and debris kept growing taller and wilder.在一个多小时里,全家人能做的就是看着周围惨烈的景象,他们起初是在阳台上,随着由水和碎片的墙越积越高、越来越凶猛,他们爬上了屋顶。“At first we did not know what would happen or whether we would survive,” Mr. Pyakurel said. “But after some time, we realized there was nothing more we could do. Our lives were in the hands of the almighty God, whether he would save us or let us drown.”“一开始我们不知道会发生什么,也不知道我们能不能活下来,”皮亚库雷尔说。“但过了一段时间,我们意识到我们无能为力了。我们的生命掌握在全能的上帝手中,无论他是要拯救我们还是让我们淹死。”“The only thought that kept troubling me was about my grandson, who had already left for school,” he added. “I kept thinking: ‘If we all die, who will look after him?’”“唯一让我一直揪心的就是去上学的孙子,”他还说。“我一直在想:‘如果我们都死了,谁来照顾他?’”The house went viral as photographs of it still standing, alone amid a wasteland of mud and debris, circulated online. Almost a week after the devastation, as the road in front of the house was partially reopened and traffic returned slowly to Dhunge Bazaar, visitors climbed up the ridge to get a view.随着这座房子在泥泞和瓦砾的废墟中孤独屹立的照片在网上流传,它迅速走红。在灾难发生近一周后,随着房子前面的道路部分重新开放,交通慢慢恢复到丹格市集,游客们爬上山脊来一睹它的真容。The house has gotten its own pinpoint on Google Maps as a “flood-proof” attraction.这座房子甚至在谷歌地图上获得了自己的专属定位,成了一个“防洪”景点。The river had calmed on Tuesday, but its water remained muddy. Little beyond the pillars of the first two stories of the house were left. On the third story balcony, the washing machine remained, along with a pile of laundry. The roof — with its water tanks, a solar water heater, a small family temple and many tall plants — looked neatly intact.到了周二,河流已经平静下来,但河水依然浑浊。这座房子的一楼和二楼除了柱子几乎什么都没剩下。在三楼的阳台上,洗衣机还在,旁边还有一堆待洗换的衣服。屋顶看起来完好无损,整整齐齐,上面有水箱、太阳能热水器、一个小小的家庭神龛和许多高大的植物。The house has become one of the rare stories of survival amid a grim picture of devastation, its full extent still growing by the day. The death toll in Nepal rose above 1,100 on Wednesday, with almost 4,000 more people still missing, and hundreds more remain unaccounted for in Tibet.在满目疮痍的严峻景象中,这座房子成为了罕见的幸存故事之一,而灾难的全面破坏程度仍日益加剧。周三,尼泊尔的死亡人数超过了1100人,仍有近4000人失踪,西藏也有数百人下落不明。Rescue missions — complicated by continuous rains and entire towns covered in the kind of soft mud that makes helicopter landings difficult — have managed to rescue over 11,000 people. Thousands of survivors are in temporary shelters.目前降雨仍在持续,整个城镇被覆盖在软泥中,导致直升机难以着陆,这一切使得救援任务变得极其复杂。尽管如此,救援队仍成功救出了11000多人。成千上万的幸存者目前被安置在临时避难所中。In the surrounding Nuwakot district alone, over 1,200 homes have been fully damaged and more than 1,000 others partially damaged.仅在周边的努瓦科特地区,就有1200多处房屋完全损毁,另有1000多处房屋部分受损。Connectivity remains a major issue in a country with difficult terrain, dozens of bridges wiped out and entire stretches of road, including the one just beyond Dhunge Bazaar, completely destroyed.在这个地形崎岖的国家,交通联络仍然是一个重大问题,数十座桥梁被冲毁,大片路段被完全摧毁,包括紧挨着丹格市集外的那段道路。Bishu Mani Rimal, 45, who was among the crowd staring at the surviving house, lives about three miles downstream, where the torrent of water had slowed slightly.45岁的比舒·马尼·里马尔站在人群中凝视着那栋幸存的房屋,他住在下游约五公里处,那里的水流已稍微放缓。“Who would believe people in that situation would survive?” he said. “I thought they didn’t even have a 1 percent chance.”“谁会相信这种情况下, 人还能活下来?”他说。“我觉得他们连1%的生存机会都没有。”Mr. Rimal surveyed the destruction all around. He said that power turbines on the other side of the river were gone. So, too, was an entire bazaar.里马尔环顾四周的破坏情况。他说,河对岸的发电机组不见了。整个市集也不复存在了。Four homes owned by the same extended family had also vanished.同一个大家族拥有的四座房屋也消失了。“One house was so new, they hadn’t even moved in,” he said.“有一座房子太新了,他们甚至还没搬进去,”他说。Mr. Pyakurel, the family patriarch, said the ground floor of the green house was built in 1995, when he had a grocery store. As his business expanded, including to selling liquor wholesale, the family kept adding floors.家族长辈皮亚库雷尔说,这座绿房子的底层建于1995年,当时他开了一家杂货店。随着生意的扩张(包括酒类批发业务),这家人不断加盖楼层。He said that, after an hour of being trapped on the roof, neighbors came to help them out when water levels receded. The rescuers used metal pipes to create a makeshift ladder to lead them to safety, he said.他说,在被困在屋顶一个小时后,水位开始消退,邻居们前来营救他们。他说,救援人员用金属管做了一个临时梯子,将他们引导至安全地带。He said the house may have remained standing because its pillars were anchored by drilling deep into the rock, but he also said that it was spared by God. Theories about the house have cropped up, with some saying that a ridge jutting out into the path of the torrent had helped shield it.他说,这座房子之所以能屹立不倒,可能是因为它的柱子深深钻入岩石中进行了固定,但他也表示,这是上帝的庇佑。关于这座房子为何幸存的理论层出不穷,有人说是一条伸入洪流路径的山脊起到了屏障作用。。Mr. Pyakurel said they were still assessing the full damage, as he had temporarily shifted to Kathmandu, the capital. But he feared that little remained on the first two floors.皮亚库雷尔说,他们仍在评估全面的损失情况,而他已暂时搬到了首都加德满都。但他担心一楼和二楼已经所剩无几了。“Now, everything is gone,” he said. “Even our family’s most important documents, including citizenship certificates, passports and land registration certificates, were destroyed.”“现在,一切都没了,”他说。“甚至我们家最重要的文件,包括公民证书、护照和土地登记证,也都被毁了。”But he was grateful that his grandson was safe, as the school had been on higher ground. They were all reunited the day after the flood.但他很庆幸自己的孙子平安无事,因为学校地势较高。洪水过后的第二天,他们全家终于团聚。Mujib Mashal是时报南亚分社社长,领导对印度及其周边地区(包括孟加拉国、斯里兰卡、尼泊尔和不丹)的报道。翻译:晋其角点击查看本文英文版。获取更多RSS:https://feedx.net https://feedx.site
