夏威夷著名的霍莱海拱门是一座高90英尺（27.4米）的熔岩结构，约形成于550年前，如今已坍塌至太平洋。
Hawaii's famous Hōlei Sea Arch, a 90-foot-tall (27.4m) lava rock structure that formed about 550 years ago, has collapsed into the Pacific Ocean.
坍塌的确切时间尚不清楚。美国国家公园管理局（NPS）表示，9月23日时，海拱门仍从火山国家公园海岸伸向水中，但到9月27日便已消失。
The collapse's exact time is not known. The arch was still projecting into the water from the coast of Volcanoes National Park on 23 September, but was gone by 27 September, the National Park Service (NPS) said.
美国国家公园管理局在一份声明中表示：“海拱门两侧的海岸线多年来一直显现出不稳定的迹象。”该机构曾于2021年警告，这座海拱门最终会崩塌。
"The coastline flanking the sea arch has shown signs of instability for years," NPS, which warned in 2021 that the arch would eventually crumble, said in a statement.
这处景观位于夏威夷岛（又称“大岛”）的火山口链公路尽头，是一处颇受欢迎且经常有人拍照的旅游胜地。
Located at the end of Chain of Craters Road on the island of Hawaii, also called "the big island", the formation was a popular - and heavily photographed - tourist destination.
据信，上周末热带风暴“诺洛”过境期间，公园曾临时关闭，海拱门是在此期间坠落的。
The arch is believed to have fallen when the park was temporarily closed during Tropical Storm Nolo last weekend.
公园管理局表示，2018年基拉韦厄火山喷发和山顶坍塌期间的地震损坏了海拱门附近的悬崖。
The park service said earthquakes during the 2018 Kīlauea volcano eruption and summit collapse had damaged the cliffs near the arch.
此次坍塌标志着该公园偏远而崎岖的海岸线发生了“最新一次变化”。
Its ultimate collapse marks "the latest transformation of the park's remote and rugged coastline".
美国国家公园管理局表示，2020年1月，悬崖出现新的裂缝和不稳定迹象，公园因此关闭了原海拱门观景区；几个月后，一个距离更安全的新观景区开放。
In January 2020, new cracks and instability in the cliffs led the park to close the original arch viewing area, and a few months later, a new viewing area opened at a safer distance, NPS said.
当年晚些时候，一场热带风暴掀起的海浪从海拱门底部冲落了一块岩石。
Waves from a tropical storm later that year broke off a chunk of rock from the bottom of the arch.
公园管理局曾于2021年表示：“这一地质构造美丽却只是暂时存在，寿命有限。这座海拱门最终会崩解入海。不过，随着悬崖缓慢向内陆迁移，其他海拱门将取而代之。”在国家公园管理局发布海拱门坍塌消息的社交媒体帖子下，数千人点赞和评论，分享他们到此游览的记忆并发布照片。
"This formation is beautiful, but temporary, and has a limited life span," the park service said in 2021. "The sea arch will eventually crumble into the sea. However, others will replace it as the cliff slowly migrates inland." Thousands of people have liked and commented on the NPS social media post about the arch's collapse, including sharing their memories of visiting the arch and posting photos of it.
一名脸书用户评论道：“没有任何事物、也没有任何人能永远留在这里。几百万年后，太阳也会消亡。请珍惜现在的美好与美丽。”
"Nothing and no one is here forever," one Facebook user commented. "Millions of years from now the sun will die. Appreciate the good, the beauty, now."
