Hope:

Joey. Have you watched the news? The torrential rain yesterday has caused lots of damage in many places.

Joey:

Yes. It says in some 低窪地區, there is 淹水.

Hope:

Flooding. The heavy rain has caused flooding in some low-lying areas.

Joey:

The heavy rain has caused flooding in some low-lying areas. Many people are 被迫疏散.

Hope:

Yes. Many people are forced to evacuate. They have to move to some safer shelters, such as schools or some community centers.

Joey:

Shelter? 庇護所嗎?

Hope:

Yes.

Joey:

And in some mountain regions, there are 土石流 and they have to face 坍方的威脅.

Hope:

土石流is mudslide or debris flow and landslide is 坍方.

Joey:

I see. So, in some mountain regions, there are mudslides and the residents there have to face the threat of the landslides.

Hope:

I guess so much rain has caused the land unstable. And some gusts have also caused some trees in the city to fall and even pulled off. It is just like a typhoon day.

Joey:

Yes. It’s quite scary.

Hope:

Yes, it’s appalling. Anyway, thanks to the typhoons a months ago and the rain these days, the reservoirs have accumulated some sufficient amount of water for the months to come.
