加拿大最繁忙的军事基地之一发生大爆炸，造成至少4人死亡、数十人受伤。
At least four people have been killed and dozens more injured after a large explosion at one of Canada’s busiest military bases.
据报道，周六下午4点，在艾伯塔省的韦恩赖特加拿大军事基地，一场实弹训练演习击中了一条天然气管道。
A gas line was hit during a live-fire training exercise at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, in Alberta, at 4pm on Saturday, according to reports.
加拿大总理马克·卡尼称这一事件是“加拿大军队在和平时期在加拿大本土遭遇的最严重悲剧之一”。
Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, called the incident “one of the worst tragedies for Canadian forces on Canadian soil in peacetime”.
卡尼先生在周日的讲话中表示：“四名现役军人已经失去生命，其近亲已得到通知。另有数十人重伤。”加拿大军方尚未正式确认火灾原因，但军方消息人士向环球新闻网透露，这是一起实弹训练期间的事故造成的。
At an address on Sunday, Mr Carney said: “Four service members have lost their lives and their next of kin has been notified. Dozens more are seriously injured.”The Canadian military has not officially confirmed the cause of the blaze, but army sources told Global News it was the result of an accident during live-fire training.
应急人员和军事人员聚集在一起，受伤军人正在接受治疗。加拿大国防部长大卫·麦坚提表示，军方和加拿大皇家骑警正在对该事件进行调查。
Emergency crews and military personnel gather as injured military members are treated David McGuinty, the Canadian defence minister, said the military and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were investigating the incident.
他补充说：“我难过地告知大家，基地内发生的一起事件导致了人员伤亡……我的记忆中很难想起近期发生过这样的事件。”在卡尼先生修正死亡人数之前，曾有报道称爆炸导致7人死亡。
He added: “I’m saddened to share that there have been both fatalities and injuries as a result of an incident on the base... I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory.”Seven people were reported to have been killed in the blast before Mr Carney revised the death toll.
国防大臣韦斯·斯特廷于周日晚间向受火灾影响的人士致以“最深切的哀悼”。
Wes Streeting, the Defence Secretary, on Sunday night sent his “deepest condolences” to those affected by the fire.
*他写道：“我向所有哀悼在韦恩赖特基地不幸失去生命的加拿大武装部队人员的人们，以及在这一可怕事件中受伤的人们致以最深切的哀悼。
He wrote: “My deepest condolences to all those mourning the Canadian Armed Forces personnel who tragically lost their lives at the base in Wainwright – and with those who have suffered injuries during this terrible incident.

“To our Canadian friends – we stand with you and grieve with you.”David Reed, Britain’s shadow defence secretary, said he was “deeply saddened to hear this devastating news”.
他在X平台上写道：“我的思念和祈祷与四名不幸失去生命的加拿大武装部队成员同在，也与他们的家人、朋友以及在这一极其艰难时刻的战友同在。”消防员深夜仍在奋战，瞬息多变的强风阵风风速高达每小时62英里，将大火吹向拥有7000人口的韦恩赖特附近城镇。当地时间午夜之前，大火被阻止蔓延至该镇。目击者称，基地附近的医院人满为患。
He wrote on X: “My thoughts and prayers are with the four members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have tragically lost their lives, and with their families, friends and fellow service personnel at this incredibly difficult time.”Firefighters worked late into the night as changeable winds, with gusts as strong as 62mph, moved the fire towards the nearby town of Wainwright, home to 7,000 people. The flames were stopped from reaching the town before midnight local time. Hospitals close to the base were overwhelmed, according to witnesses.
至少4人死亡，数十人受伤。周日早晨，受伤人数持续上升，艾伯塔省首府埃德蒙顿的医院发布了“橙色代码”，标志着发生了大规模伤亡事件。

皇家亚历山大医院急诊科医生沃伦·瑟斯克博士告诉加拿大广播公司新闻：“这比我们现在任何人想数的人都要多。这是一场灾难。这是一场15到25年一遇的灾难。”艾伯塔省省长丹妮尔·史密斯将这场火灾形容为“重大且具有悲剧性的”，并表示这影响了许多军事人员。
Dr Warren Thirsk, an emergency department physician at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, told CBC News: “It is more patients than any of us want to count right now. It’s a disaster. It’s a one in every 15 to 25-year disaster.”Danielle Smith, the Albertan premier, described the fire as “significant and tragic” and said it was affecting many military personnel.
当局表示，目前尚不清楚爆炸原因。韦恩赖特加拿大军事基地是该国首屈一指的训练基地之一，集步兵、炮兵和空中支援于一体。
It’s not yet clear what caused the explosion, authorities say Canadian Forces Base Wainwright is one of the country’s premier training bases bringing together infantry, artillery and air support.
