天津爆炸後更多相關細節公佈
Incorrect and missing records and an apparent lack of co-ordination among firefighters are complicating the clean-up after the massive explosions of hazardous chemicals warehouses that destroyed an industrial section of the Chinese port city of Tianjin.
一次危險化學品倉庫發生的大規模爆炸，毀滅了中國港口城市天津的一片工業區。之後，記錄的錯誤和遺漏，以及消防隊員顯露出來的缺乏協調，令事故現場的清理工作複雜化。
The official death toll rose to 55 on Friday, with hundreds injured. Residents donated blood at hospitals as well as food and clothing to thousands of displaced people taking shelter overnight in schools. Many had fled in their nightclothes.
週五，官方公佈的死亡人數上升至55人，還有數百人受傷。居民們一方面在醫院獻血，一方面向在學校連夜避難的、成千上萬無家可歸的人們捐獻食品和衣物。許多人逃出來時，身上只穿着睡衣。
Hazardous chemicals teams removed sodium cyanide, a toxin, from sewers leading from the bonded warehouse zone that was at the centre of the Wednesday evening blast, Chinese media reported. On Thursday afternoon, authorities shut some of the drains leading into the nearby Bohai Bay.
據中國媒體報道，危險化學品處置團隊從多條下水道里，移除了有毒的氰化鈉，這些下水道源自週三晚間爆炸核心地帶的保稅倉庫區。週四下午，當局關閉了部分通向附近渤海海灣的排水管道。
Authorities do not know what was stored in the warehouses operated by Ruihai International Logistics, the city’s second-largest licensed handler of hazardous cargos.
目前，當局並不知道這些由瑞海國際物流(Ruihai International Logistics)運營的倉庫裏儲存着什麼。瑞海國際物流是天津市持有許可證的第二大危險品處理企業。
“There are large discrepancies between custom papers and inquiries conducted with the company,” Zhou Tian, head of the Tianjin city fire brigade, said on Friday. His comments were echoed by Gao Huaiyou, vice-director of the safety watchdog, who said: “The information the management of the company provided is not consistent with our investigation.”
週五，天津市消防總隊總隊長周天表示：“海關報單數據和對該公司調查的結果存在很大不同。”周天的說法得到了天津安監局副局長高懷友的印證。高懷友說：“該公司管理人員提供的信息與我們的調查結果並不一致。”
Some of the chemicals known to have been stored in Ruihai warehouses explode on contact with water. The blasts and subsequent fireball and shockwave that devastated the area occurred more than half an hour after firefighters arrived to fight a fire at the Ruihai warehouses, raising questions over whether the firefighters were trained in combating chemical fires.
在瑞海倉庫已知存儲的化學品中，部分化學品與水接觸會發生爆炸。爆炸及隨後的巨大火球和衝擊波毀滅了整個地段。此次爆炸發生在消防人員抵達瑞海倉庫並開始滅火半小時後，這引發了這些消防人員是否曾受過撲滅化學品大火培訓的質疑。
Firefighters from the Tianjin Port police initially responded to the fire. Then, following calls about burning cars, the first brigade of city firefighters “investigated and assessed the conflagration according to regulations”, Mr Zhou said on Friday morning.
週五早上，周天表示，最初回應火災的是天津市港區公安局消防支隊。接着，在收到多個關於汽車着火的電話後，天津市到場的第一個消防隊“按照規定進行火災偵查和判斷”。
The second brigade of city firefighters had just arrived on the scene when a double explosion sent a mushroom cloud over the city, Mr Zhou said. “I am not clear on the details of their firefighting methods,” he added.
周天表示，在天津市第二支消防隊剛剛抵達現場時，現場就發生了爆炸，接連兩次爆炸在市區上空產生了蘑菇雲。他補充說：“之前是天津市港區公安局在進行處置，具體處置方法不清楚。”
Several of those firefighters are among the dead and severely burnt. So are onlookers that had gathered to watch the fire, residents told the Financial Times.
此次事故的死者和嚴重燒傷人員，就包括了上述消防人員中的幾人。當地居民告訴英國《金融時報》，那些聚集現場查看火情的圍觀者中，也有人因此喪生或嚴重燒傷。
Mr Zhou said rescuers were still searching for missing firefighters. “They were caught off-guard so the casualties are grave,” he said.
周天表示，救援人員仍在搜尋失蹤的消防人員。他說：“他們是在毫無防備的情況下遭遇爆炸的，這導致傷亡情況十分嚴重。”
Photos shared online of charred bodies and the large population of migrant construction workers building high-end property developments next to the chemicals warehouses makes it likely that some of the dead will never be identified.
網上分享的燒焦屍體的照片，以及在化學倉庫旁修建高端樓盤的外來建築工人的巨大人口，導致部分死者可能永遠無法確認身份。
The rapid expansion of the chemicals industry in Tianjin created an opening for companies licensed to handle hazardous goods. Ruihui Logistics has come under scrutiny but its website is down, as is the corporate registry database for the city of Tianjin. Executives who answered phone calls at warehousing businesses registered as “Ruihui Logistics” in two other cities said their companies were unrelated.
天津化工產業的急劇擴張，爲獲批處理危險品的企業提供了機遇。爆炸發生以來，瑞海物流受到了人們的嚴格審視。不過，該公司網站已經關閉，同樣關閉的還有天津市的企業註冊數據庫。而在其他兩個城市，註冊名爲“瑞海物流”的倉儲企業應答電話的主管表示，他們的企業與發生事故的瑞海物流並無關係。
Authorities said on Thursday they had detained senior executives at Ruihai Logistics.
週四，當局表示瑞海物流的高管已被控制。
