洪水滔天

关于“洪水滔天”传说的断想

Thought on tales about " floodwater dash to the skies "

抑或是“我死之后，哪管它洪水滔天”？

Or will it be " apr è s moi , le d é luge " ?

天有不测风云，一年，忽然天崩地裂，大火肆虐，洪水滔天，野兽横行伤人。

Unexpectedly , one year , the four-pillars supporting the heaven suddenly collapsed and the earth cracked . A great fire raged ； torrential water flooded all the lands ； fierce animals preyed on men .

在某种意义上来说，这次的经历远不如许多人一开始担心的那般惊心动魄：尽管东海岸遭遇到了暴风骤雨，而且内陆地区洪水滔天，但纽约本身受到的损害却远逊于预期。

In some senses the experience turned out to be far less dramatic than many had initially feared : though the East Coast was battered with powerful winds and lashing rain , and there was terrible flooding inland , New York itself suffered far less damage than predicted .
