曼谷讯 -- 上周末，暴雨导致曼谷部分地区几近瘫痪，泰国首都的街道变成了河流，迫使居民涉过齐腰深的积水。
BANGKOK -- Torrential rains brought parts of Bangkok to a near standstill last weekend, turning the Thai capital's streets into rivers and forcing residents to wade through waist-deep water.
暴雨淹没了这座蔓延的首都及周边地区的社区，扰乱了日常生活和交通，使一些社区陷入深深的洪水之中。
The downpours inundated neighborhoods across the sprawling capital and surrounding areas, disrupting daily life and transportation and leaving some communities under deep floodwater.
随着积水逐渐退去，影响蔓延至其他地方。在素万那普国际机场，因洪水导致的员工短缺阻碍了地面作业，导致航班延误，数千件托运行李滞留。一些抵达的乘客等待了一天多才取回行李，而行李箱堆积在行李提取区。
As the water gradually receded, the disruption spread elsewhere. At Suvarnabhumi International Airport, staff shortages caused by the flooding hampered ground operations, contributing to flight delays and leaving thousands of checked bags stranded. Some arriving passengers waited more than a day to retrieve their luggage, while suitcases piled up in baggage claim areas.
到本周中旬，曼谷大部分地区的洪水已退去，天气也有所好转，同时正在努力恢复机场的正常运营。
By midweek, floodwaters had receded across much of Bangkok and the weather had improved, while efforts were underway to restore normal operations at the airport.
