已致93死！幸存者曝光细节
双语君约 5 分钟根据美国夏威夷州毛伊县政府13日晨发布的最新通报，在飓风引发的毁灭性野火“拉海纳”、“普莱胡”和“毛伊岛内陆大火”发生五天后，持续数日的野火已在该州毛伊岛造成93人遇难。
Five days after the devastating hurricane-driven wildfires dubbed Lahaina, Pulehu and Upcountry Maui Fires, 93 people have been confirmed dead as of Saturday, according to the Maui county.
通报说，代号为“普莱胡”的野火已于12日得到完全控制，目前消防人员仍在设法控制代号为“拉海纳”和“毛伊内陆”的野火。除拥有1.2万人口的拉海纳镇被完全烧毁外，野火在其他地方还造成19栋建筑被毁。
夏威夷州州长乔希·格林（Josh Green）12日说，随着搜救工作的艰难推进，伤亡人数可能进一步增加，野火造成的损失预计接近60亿美元。
Hawaii Governor Josh Green said on Saturday that the death number would continue to rise as more victims were discovered. Across the island, damage was estimated at close to $6b.
目前，美国官方尚未公布对火灾起因的调查结果。格林此前在采访中说，飓风带来的强风以及事发时当地环境干旱是导致火势难以控制的原因之一。
People still don't know what set off the initial spark so far, but Maui's conditions on Aug 8, dry and windy, are definitely ideal for the spread of a blaze. Green told NBC News' Lester Holt on Friday that Lahaina is located in a "very remote place" and Hurricane Dora knocked out telecommunications and essentially rendered the island dark at that night.
另据当地媒体报道，三家法律公司已代表受害者对夏威夷电气公司提起集体诉讼，指控该公司未在强风天气来临前切断供电。该公司下属的一个变电站8日曾出现电线倒塌事故，事发地点靠近最初起火点。
此外，一些夏威夷原住民在接受媒体采访时认为，殖民者对毛伊岛不恰当的开发导致该岛原有生态遭到破坏，是造成这场美国百年来致死人数最多的野火灾难的深层原因。

昔日该镇是历史名镇、知名海滨度假胜地。夏威夷州长杰希·格林对此感到痛心，“拉海纳80% 已经‘消失’”。
连日来，多名在毛伊岛度假中亲历野火的中国游客，向潮新闻讲述从强风呼啸、火焰逼近中逃生经历，“不想相信，一夜之间，滨海小镇化为灰烬和残骸”。
Some witnesses said they had little advance notice, describing their terror when the blaze consumed Lahaina in what seemed to be a matter of minutes. Several people were forced to leap into the Pacific Ocean to save themselves.
Smoke billowed upward in many parts of Maui. The night sky glowed in places where flames leap up from the landscape like the tongues of fire over a funeral pyre.

Maui county fire chief, Bradford Ventura, said the fire’s speed made it "nearly impossible" for frontline responders to communicate with the emergency management officials who would typically provide real-time evacuation orders.
Officials sent alerts to mobile phones, televisions and radio stations, but widespread power and cellular outages may have limited their reach.
