纽约时报广场上127年历史的水管爆裂，导致街道和地铁被淹
正文翻译
NEW YORK (AP) — A 127-year-old water main under New York''s Times Square gave way early Tuesday, flooding midtown streets and the city''s busiest subway station.
The 20-inch (half-meter) pipe gave way under 40th Street and Seventh Avenue at 3 a.m., and quickly delivered a wet reminder of the perils of aging infrastructure beneath the city''s crowded streets.
纽约时报广场下的一条历史已达127年的水管于周二凌晨决堤，导致中城街道和该市最繁忙的地铁站被淹。
这条直径20英寸（半米）的管道在凌晨3点时在40街和第七大道处决堤，并迅速提醒了人们关于城市拥挤街道下老化基础设施的危险。

The rushing water was only a few inches deep on the street, but videos posted on social media showed the flood cascading into the Times Square subway station down stairwells and through ventilation grates. The water turned the trenches that carry the subway tracks into mini rivers and soaked train platforms.
It took DEP crews about an hour to find the source of the leak and shut the water off, said Rohit Aggarwala, commissioner of New York City’s Department of Environmental Protection.
涌动的水在街道上只有几英寸深，但社交媒体上发布的视频显示洪水倾泻进时报广场地铁站，流经楼梯和通风口。水把承载地铁轨道的沟槽变成了小河，并浸湿了列车站台。
纽约市环境保护部门专员罗希特·阿加瓦拉表示，污水处理部门的工作人员花了大约一个小时来找到泄漏源并关闭了水源。

The excavation left a big hole and a muddy mess in one city intersection where workers dug with heavy equipment to get to the broken section of pipe.
Surrounding streets were open by rush hour, but subway service was suspended through much of Manhattan on the 1, 2 and 3 lines, which run directly under the broken pipe. Service was restored with delays by midday.
Only two local businesses were left without water at the start of the work day, Aggarwala said.
挖掘工程在一个城市十字路口留下了一个大洞和一片泥泞，在这里工人们使用重型设备挖掘以达到破损的管道部分。
尽管周围的街道在高峰时段重新开放，但1号线、2号线和3号线地铁服务在大部分曼哈顿地区都暂停，因为这些线路直接位于破损的水管下方。到中午时分，服务已经恢复但有延迟。
阿加瓦拉表示，在工作日开始时，只有两家本地企业没有供水。

New York City has about 6,800 miles (10,900 kilometers) worth of water mains — enough pipe to stretch from Times Square to Tokyo — and has spent $1.9 billion in the past three years upgrading outdated water and sewer lines. Breaks happen somewhere in the city almost every day, though the city said the 402 water main breaks last year were the second lowest number on record, and better than average for a U.S. city if the size of the system is taken into account.
纽约市拥有大约6,800英里（10,900公里）的供水管道，足够从时报广场延伸至东京。过去三年里，该市已经投入19亿美元对过时的供水和污水管线进行升级改造。尽管城市每天都会发生水管破裂事件，但去年的402起水管破裂事件是有记录以来第二低的数量，考虑到系统规模，这个数据比美国其他城市平均水平要好。

The cast iron pipes used as water mains in the city in the late 19th century, like the one that broke, were known for their durability, but even those have a typical lifespan of 120 years.
Besides old water and sewer pipes and subway tunnels, the ground beneath Manhattan also contains a steam energy system and an electrical system that rely on components buried many decades ago.
Breakdowns can occasionally be spectacular. In 2007, an 83-year-old steam pipe exploded near Grand Central Terminal, sending a towering geyser of scalding vapor and mud into the air, swallowing a tow truck and killing one person.
19 世纪末，曼哈顿使用铸铁管作为自来水管道，就像这次断裂的水管一样，铸铁管以耐用著称，但即使是铸铁管，其使用寿命一般也只有 120 年。
除了老旧的供水管道、下水管道和地铁隧道外，曼哈顿地下还有蒸汽能源系统和电力系统，它们都依赖于几十年前埋入地下的部件。
偶尔也会出现惊人的故障。2007 年，中央车站附近一条有 83 年历史的蒸汽管道发生爆炸，滚烫的蒸汽和泥浆喷涌而出，吞没了一辆拖车，造成一人死亡。

you're right, over 100 yrs and still functioning. todays standards don't come close, but all the old infrastructure is needing replacement in the coming yrs and theres no money or qualified labor to get it done
你说得对，超过100年仍然能正常运作。现在的标准远远不及，但所有旧的基础设施在未来几年都需要更换，而且没有资金或合格的劳动力来完成这项工作。

You can tell none of these people in the comments work in public utilities or infrastructure. Pipes break, equipment fails. It just is what it is. You can’t just go replacing every pipe that is old. It is a major major project to replace a pipeline or lay a new one. Most of the time, a pipeline breaks, you shut it down, and either band the broken section or cut it out and weld in a new section.
你可以看出这些评论里的人没有在公共事业或基础设施领域工作。管道会破裂，设备会故障。事情就是这样。不能仅仅是更换所有老化的管道。替换或铺设新管道是一项重大的工程。大多数情况下，当一条管道破裂时，你要关闭它，然后要么绑住破损的部分，要么剪掉并焊接上一个新的部分。

Several of those tunnels were actually built well over 250 years ago by the Dutch settlers be before England took over.

This is just an example of what is lurking under the streets of most cities. Instead of proactively replacing old water mains and other ancient infrastructure, they just keep kicking that can down the road until they have an emergency. Then they try to shift the cost onto the federal taxpayers.
这只是大多数城市街道下潜藏的问题的一个例子。他们不主动替换老化的水管和其他古老的基础设施，只是一直把问题拖延下去，直到出现紧急情况。然后他们试图将成本转嫁给联邦纳税人。

What were water pipes made out of 127 years ago. I am guessing it was rotted and gross whatever it was and needed to be replaced anyway.

With all the utility regulation, I don't understand why they aren't required to have a continuous upxe plan in place. They should replace "x" feet of old pipe per year and start over at the beginning when they reach the end. That goes for water pipes, gas pipes and electric lines!
考虑到对公共事业的监管，我不明白为什么他们不被要求制定一项持续更新计划。他们应该每年更换一定长度的老旧管道，当达到末尾时重新开始。这适用于水管、燃气管道和电线！

Maybe they could have fixed that if they weren't so concerned about giving these immigrants Housing, healthcare, and cell phone and whatever else they get. Another example, of the government making these immigrants more important than American citizens and what needs to be fixed. The Tax dollars are not going where they should be going.
如果不是他们过多关注给这些移民提供住房、医疗保健、手机和其他东西，也许他们本可以修好那个问题。这又是一个例子，政府把这些移民看得比美国公民更重要，而忽视了需要解决的问题。纳税人的钱没有用在该去的地方。

Who would ever think that a 127 year old water main might fail? I didn't see that coming. I figured it would leak at 50 years at the most. It's probably a lead pipe, And who would ever think that miles and miles of dried out brush would start on fire and burn down a town on a small island?
谁会想到一个127年的供水主管道可能会失效呢？我从来没有预料到这一点。我原以为它最多会在50年内泄漏。它可能是铅管，还有谁会想到数英里干燥的灌木会突然着火，烧毁一个小岛上的城镇呢？

When did your city last replace its water lines?

7 days it was repaired and open to traffic! Amazing!

NYC has 12 billion dollars to spend of the illegal aliens Joe Biden let's in through the open southern U.S. border... but it uses prayers and magic fairy dust to deal with an aging infrastructure within the city. I believe the city leaders have severely neglected the maintenance on vast parts of the city water supply system. I know of no material used in a water supply that has a service life in excess of 100 years... even brass and copper don't last that long... a system that's aged and fails at the weakest point then repaired is bound to put stresses on other equally aged parts and fail in rapid succession. Time to get those illegal aliens off of the cots and couches and into work clothes ready to start installing a new water system for the city... it'll be decades long and could land life long unx jobs for the illegal aliens...
纽约市有120亿美元的预算，用于处理乔·拜登通过开放的美国南部边境进入的非法移民... 但是对城市内部老化的基础设施问题却只能借助祈祷和魔法精灵尘来处理。我相信城市领导严重忽视了城市供水系统大部分区域的维护工作。我不知道有哪种用于供水的材料的使用寿命超过100年... 就连黄铜和铜也不能持续那么长时间... 一个老化并在最薄弱点失效后得到修复的系统，势必会对其他同样老化的部件产生压力，并在短时间内相继失效。是时候让那些非法移民离开床铺和沙发，穿上工作服，准备好开始为城市安装新的供水系统... 这将是一个几十年的过程，可能为非法移民提供终身的工会工作机会...
NYC has 12 billion dollars to spend of the illegal aliens Joe Biden let's in through the open southern U.S. border... but it uses prayers and magic fairy dust to deal with an aging infrastructure within the city. I believe the city leaders have severely neglected the maintenance on vast parts of the city water supply system. I know of no material used in a water supply that has a service life in excess of 100 years... even brass and copper don't last that long... a system that's aged and fails at the weakest point then repaired is bound to put stresses on other equally aged parts and fail in rapid succession. Time to get those illegal aliens off of the cots and couches and into work clothes ready to start installing a new water system for the city... it'll be decades long and could land life long unx jobs for the illegal aliens...

Big cities all have aging infrastructure, especially cities like Chicago and New York. Democrats think everything will just keep working, so they squander their money on social programs. Chicago gave it towards pensions for city workers in exchange for votes. Democrat controlled cities are all in shambles.
大城市的基础设施都在老化，尤其是芝加哥和纽约这样的城市。民主党人认为一切都会正常运行，所以他们把钱浪费在社会计划上。芝加哥用它来换取市政工人的养老金以换取选票。民主党控制的城市都一团糟。

Our infrastructure, private and public is totally inadequate and broken and ancient!
Traveling abroad is embarrassing, we are still stuck in the 70’s
我们的基础设施，无论是私人还是公共的，都非常不足、破旧和陈旧！出国旅行令人尴尬，我们仍然停留在上世纪70年代。

Just glancing through the comments, it seems that most everyone is ignorant of the fact that the problem is widespread. Not just NYC. Every older city and town in the country. Think about it. How many times have you heard of a municipality digging up and replacing the entire pipe system?
随便翻阅一下评论，似乎大多数人都不知道这个问题是普遍存在的。不仅仅是纽约市，全国的每个老城市和小镇都是如此。想想看，你听说过有多少次一个市政当局挖掘并更换整个管道系统？

So 127 years of taking your money every month and no plan what so ever to upxe there pipes just like the power companies take your money every month billons of dollars and never put it back into maintaining and updating The if it ain't broke dont fix it mentality needs to stop when there charging all that money and there probably unaccountable for damages just blame it on climate change
这样127年来每个月从你们手中收走你们的钱，却没有任何计划来更新他们的管道，就像电力公司每个月从你们那里拿走数十亿美元，却从未拿出来用于维护和更新。如果没有出现问题就不修理的态度在他们收取那么多费用时就应该停止了，而且他们可能对损害不负责任，只是把责任归咎于气候变化。

actually the speed of cleanup and fixing the problem is rather admirable.... especially when we read about other areas of the country needing day, weeks, and months
事实上，清理和解决问题的速度相当令人钦佩...尤其是当我们看到其他地区需要花费数天、数周甚至数月时。

In Detroit there was a water main break on Jefferson Street in 2002 and when the Public Water Department investigated they found the water pipe was built in 1869.
在底特律，2002年杰斐逊大街发生了一起供水管道破裂事故。当公共水务部门进行调查时，他们发现这根水管是在1869年建造的。

Unbelievable, Walmart has 30 pack water bottles on sale much cheaper just stack pallets at every red light. I New York rigged it.
难以置信，沃尔玛有打折销售的30瓶装水更便宜，只需要在每个红灯处堆放货盘就好了。我猜纽约搞了些手脚。

Cities that are managed well have the funds to make repairs before they cause this level of trouble. NYC NOT.
管理良好的城市在问题引发这种程度的麻烦之前就有资金进行修复。而纽约却没有。

It looks like the station finally got a good wash down - the dust and grime in there must have been of similar age to the pipe.
看起来车站终于进行了彻底清洗，里面的灰尘和污垢可能和这根水管相似的时间长。

Just re watched the movie 'Conspiracy Theory' with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts.
One of the conspiracy theories was about a water main break and how it connected to the drowning of a financier.
刚重温了梅尔·吉布森和朱莉娅·罗伯茨主演的电影《连锁阴谋》。其中一个阴谋理论就是关于水管破裂，以及它与一个金融家溺亡事件的联系。

This is a result of unxs protecting iron worker jobs. Replace the iron system, that rusts and leaks, with PVC and it will last a 100 years.
这是工会保护铁工岗位的结果。用耐腐蚀、不易泄漏的PVC替换铁质系统，它可以使用100年。

We should investigate if Global Warming is to blame because we have to blame something.
Typically, in different weather, pipes shrinks like George CantStandYa.
Nothing can and should be ruled out because this makes absolutely positively no -100% sense, but in some way, it does or does it?
我们应该调查全球变暖是否应该受到责备，因为我们必须归咎于某种原因。通常，在不同的天气条件下，管道会像乔治·坎特斯坦德一样收缩。不能排除任何可能性和不应该排除任何可能性，因为这根本毫无意义，但在某种程度上，也可能有意义，对吧？

Here’s an idea:
Every time you have to dig-up or re-pave a street for anything you are required to replace any and all old pipes,
but that would be too practical for bureaucratic minds.
这里有个主意： 每当你们必须挖掘或重新铺设街道时，你们应该被要求更换所有老旧的管道， 但对于官僚思维来说，这可能太实际了。

I was walking by a street construction site in midtown Manhattan and looked into the hole and saw what looked like a large log. I asked a worker about it and he said it was a water line made out of a hollowed out log and that they were all over the city. He said they only replace them when they need to ... specifically he said "If they ain't broke, we done fix 'em."
我路过曼哈顿中城的一个街道建筑工地，往洞里一看，发现里面好像有一根大圆木。我向一名工人打听，他说这是用挖空的原木做成的水管，全市到处都是。他说他们只在需要的时候才会更换......具体地说，他说："如果它们没坏，我们就会修好它们"。

Well NY how does it work being a sanctuary city and needing more $$$ from everywhere else to support your neglect of your own essential needs. Raise NY resident taxes to pay for their projects..
好吧，纽约，作为一个庇护城市，如果你们需要从其他地方获得更多钱来支持你们自己的基本需求的忽视，这怎么运转？提高纽约居民的税收来支付他们的项目吧...

放心吧，拜登即将让Kumbala负责纽约的供水主线。很快，问题就会解决，连同拜登政府一起消失。

Why spend any of the taxpayers money on keeping things safe and upxed when you can spend over 10 Billion dollars a year on illegals. They are just so much more important than New Yorkers themselves, just ask Hochul and Adams.
为什么花纳税人的钱来保障安全和更新设施，当你可以每年花费超过100亿美元在非法移民上。他们比纽约人自己更重要，只要问问霍库尔和亚当斯。

not under warranty i guess, now if that was made in this day and age it might have lasted a year or two and the manufacture would not be held liable for any damage
我猜没有质保，现在如果是现代制造的，可能会坚持一两年，制造商也不会对任何损坏负责。

为什么他们在它破裂之前不替换呢？是城市有什么问题还是其他原因？天哪！

Some 9.2 million lead pipes carry water into homes across the U.S., with more in Florida than any other state, according to a new Environmental Protection Agency survey
That just might explain Florida you know.
根据美国环保署的最新调查，约有920万条铅水管向全美国的家庭供水，其中佛罗里达州的数量超过其他州。这或许可以解释佛罗里达的问题。
