California hit by first tropical storm in 84 years
美國加州遭遇84年來首個熱帶風暴
Tropical Storm Hilary landed in Southern California on Sunday, the first tropical storm in the region in 84 years.
熱帶風暴“希拉里”20日登陸美國加州南部，這是84年來南加州第一次遭遇熱帶風暴。
The last time a tropical storm made landfall in the area was in 1939, according to the National Weather Service.
據美國國家氣象局的記錄，該地區上一次有熱帶風暴登陸是在1939年。
The National Hurricane Center warned on Monday that the storm could cause "life-threatening" flooding in the southwestern US, as well as record-breaking rainfall, with flooding possible as far north as Oregon and Idaho.
美國國家颶風中心周一警告說，這場風暴可能會在美國西南部引發“危及生命”的洪水，以及破紀錄的降雨量，北至俄勒岡州和愛達荷州也可能會出現洪水。
Hilary has dumped more than half the average annual rainfall in some areas. Hundreds of flights were canceled in San Diego, Los Angeles and other cities, and classes were canceled in California's two largest school districts, Los Angeles and San Diego.
“希拉里”給一些地區帶來的降雨量超越了年均降雨量的一半。圣迭戈、洛杉磯等城市數以百計的航班被取消，加州兩個最大的校區——洛杉磯校區和圣迭戈校區也停課了。
The storm dumped 8.7 inches of rain on parts of Nevada by Monday, breaking the state's heaviest rainfall record in 116 years. Hilary was also the first tropical storm ever to enter Nevada.
截至21日，內華達州部分地區降雨量達到了220毫米，打破了該州116年來的最大降雨記錄，“希拉里”也是有史以來第一場進入該州的熱帶風暴。
At present, the storm did not cause major causalities or damage, but risks remain, especially in mountainous areas where rising water and wet hillsides could trigger mudslides.
目前，這場風暴暫未造成重大人員傷亡或財產損失，但風險依然存在，特別是在山區，因為水位上漲和潮濕的山坡可能引發泥石流。
