曼萨尼约，墨西哥 10月11日电 - 墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆周日敦促该国太平洋沿岸居民留在室内，因为强大的四级飓风“西蒙”逼近墨西哥中西部海岸，威胁带来破坏性大风、危险风暴潮和可能致命的洪水。
MANZANILLO, Mexico Oct 11 - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum urged residents along the country's Pacific coast to remain indoors on Sunday as powerful Hurricane Simon approached Mexico's west-central coast, threatening destructive winds, dangerous storm surges and potentially deadly flooding.
美国国家飓风中心（NHC）在当地时间上午9点发布的最新公报中表示，这场四级风暴位于科利马州港口城市曼萨尼约以西偏北约65英里（105公里）处，最大持续风速达145英里/小时（230公里/小时）。
The Category 4 storm was located about 65 miles (105 km) west-northwest of the port city of Manzanillo, in Colima state, with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (230 kph), the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in its latest advisory at 9 a.m. local time.
飓风以每小时11公里（7英里）的速度向北偏西移动，其中心距离邻州哈利斯科州的科里恩特斯角南偏东约140公里（85英里）。
The hurricane was moving north-northwest at 11 kph (7 mph), with its center about 140 km (85 miles) south-southeast of Cabo Corrientes, in neighboring Jalisco state.
辛鲍姆在社交媒体发文称：“随着四级飓风‘西蒙’逼近，我们敦促哈利斯科、科利马、纳亚里特和米却肯等沿海市镇的居民留在避难所内，直到当局正式宣布危险解除。”她表示，预防性疏散至更安全地区正在继续，并敦促居民不要上街，遵循民防部门指示。
"With the approaching impact of Category 4 Hurricane Simon, we urge residents of coastal municipalities in Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Michoacan to remain sheltered until authorities officially declare that the danger has passed," Sheinbaum said in a post on She said precautionary evacuations to safer areas were continuing and urged residents to stay off the streets and follow civil protection instructions.
国家飓风中心表示，“西蒙”预计周日晚些时候将极贴近墨西哥中西部海岸移动，并在周一继续紧贴海岸，尽管预测仍存在不确定性，即风暴中心是否会登陆或仅停留在近海。飓风眼仍在近海，但正沿哈利斯科海岸移动。
The NHC said Simon was expected to move very near Mexico's west-central coast later on Sunday and remain close to the coast on Monday, although forecast uncertainty remained over whether the center would cross inland or remain just offshore. The hurricane's eye remains offshore, but it's tracking close to the Jalisco coast.
预报员警告称，即使不直接登陆，墨西哥中西部沿岸部分地区仍可能出现危险风暴潮、巨大破坏性浪和破坏性大风。
Even without direct landfall, dangerous storm surges, large destructive waves and damaging winds were likely along portions of Mexico's west-central coast, the forecaster warned.
在墨西哥最大港口、也是通往亚洲贸易的主要门户曼萨尼约，周六居民大多保持冷静，超市几乎未见抢购恐慌。
In Manzanillo, Mexico’s largest port and the main gateway for trade with Asia, residents on Saturday appeared largely calm despite the approaching storm, with little sign of panic buying at supermarkets.
部分商店已开始用木板封窗，商家纷纷关门歇业，街道相对空旷。民防工人已关闭海滩、设置路障并升起红黑警示旗，敦促居民远离海岸。
Some stores had begun boarding up their windows, while businesses were closing and streets were relatively empty. Civil protection workers had closed beaches, erected barriers and raised red and black warning flags, urging residents to stay away from the shore.
从夜间到周日，随着“西蒙”向西偏离原定路径，它仍给曼萨尼约带来降雨和大风，导致洪水泛滥。军方和国民警卫队已在全市部署。
Overnight and into Sunday, as Simon shifted somewhat westward off its course, it still delivered rain and winds that led to flooding in Manzanillo. The military and National Guard were deployed throughout the city.
到周日上午晚些时候，当风暴最猛烈的阶段似乎已过，一些居民穿过大多空无一人的街道，去观看波涛汹涌的大海。
By late Sunday morning when it seemed the worst of the storm had passed, some residents made their way through the largely empty streets to take a look at the choppy sea.
在阿拉梅达社区，这是一个位于南部、四周环水的区域，居民在齐膝深的洪水中艰难行走，墨西哥军方成员与家庭成员一起用水桶将家中的水舀到街上。
In the Alameda neighborhood, an area in the south surrounded by water, residents trudged through flooding up to their shins as members of the Mexican military bucketed out water from homes into the street alongside families.
据他们说，到中午雨势已停，居民开始清除清晨开始涌入家中的积水。
By midday the rains had paused and residents had begun to remove the water that had begun filling their homes in the early hours of the morning, they said.
“床、冰箱、炉灶，所有家具都湿了。整栋房子都被淹了，”塞西莉亚·帕洛马尔在自家门口对路透社说。“我母亲不想走。我们把她带到我哥哥的房间，那里地势较高。她年纪大了，但就是不想走。她不想离开家。”
“The beds, the refrigerators, the stoves, all the furniture got wet. The whole house was flooded,” Cecilia Palomar told Reuters outside her home. “My mother doesn’t want to leave. We took her to my brother’s room, to higher ground. She’s elderly, but she doesn’t want to leave. She doesn’t want to be away from her home.”
据民防公报，墨西哥国家民防协调局（CNPC）已将哈利斯科州和科利马州的28个市镇置于最高气旋警报级别，另有93个市镇处于高度警报级别。
Mexico's National Civil Protection Coordination (CNPC) has placed 28 municipalities in Jalisco and Colima under its highest cyclone alert level, while another 93 municipalities were under a high alert level, according to civil protection bulletins.
巴亚尔塔港国际机场已暂时关闭，当局已暂停非必要活动，并在受威胁的沿海社区开设了紧急避难所。
Puerto Vallarta's international airport has temporarily closed, while authorities have suspended nonessential activities and opened emergency shelters in threatened coastal communities.
美国国家飓风中心（NHC）警告称，持续到周一的暴雨可能引发危及生命的洪水和泥石流，尤其是在山区。
The NHC warned that heavy rainfall through Monday could trigger life-threatening flooding and mudslides, particularly in mountainous areas.
西蒙周六迅速增强为四级飓风，促使当局向脆弱的沿海社区部署军事人员、应急工作者和民防队伍。
Simon intensified rapidly into a Category 4 hurricane on Saturday, prompting authorities to deploy military personnel, emergency workers and civil protection teams to vulnerable coastal communities.
这场风暴是在波洛飓风以二级飓风强度袭击墨西哥下加利福尼亚半岛一周后到来的，那次风暴吹倒了树木和电线杆，淹没了街道。
The storm comes a week after Hurricane Polo struck Mexico's Baja California Peninsula as a Category 2 hurricane, toppling trees and utility poles and flooding streets.
