冰島宣布進入緊急狀態，因火山爆發威脅疏散居民
Iceland has declared a state of emergency, with police officials urging residents to evacuate the coastal town of Grindavík following an intense wave of earthquakes in the southwest of the country linked to a possible volcanic eruption.
冰島西南部發生了一波強烈地震，可能與火山爆發有關，隨后冰島宣布進入緊急狀態，警方官員敦促居民撤離沿海城鎮格林達維克。
Nearly 800 quakes were recorded between midnight and 2 p.m. on Friday, with the shallowest at a depth of 3-3.5 kilometers, according to the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
冰島氣象局稱，周五（10日）午夜至下午2點之間記錄了近800次地震，最淺的地震深度為3-3.5公里。
In statements Friday, Iceland’s Civil Protection Agency said a magma tunnel that is forming could reach Grindavík. But as of Friday evening, the Icelandic authority said it has been impossible to tell if and where the magma might break through to the surface.
冰島民防和應急管理部門在星期五的聲明中說，正在形成的巖漿隧道可能到達格林達維克。但截至周五晚上，冰島當局表示，還無法判斷巖漿是否以及在哪里會噴發到地表。
“Earthquakes may become bigger than those that have already occurred, and this sequence of events could lead to an eruption. However, there are still no signs that the magma is nearing the surface. Its progress is being closely monitored,” the Civil Protection Agency said.
“地震可能會比已經發生的地震更大，這一系列事件可能會導致火山噴發。然而，仍然沒有跡象表明巖漿接近地表。正在密切監測其進展，”民防局表示。
Magma is a mixture of molten and semi-molten rock found beneath the surface of the Earth that can cause an eruption when it finds its way to the surface, becoming lava.
巖漿是在地球表面下發現的熔融和半熔融巖石的混合物，當它浮出地表時，會引起火山噴發，成為熔巖。
Authorities urged residents to evacuate calmly and emphasized that there is no imminent danger.
當局敦促居民冷靜撤離，并強調沒有迫在眉睫的危險。
