The heat wave sweeping Europe this week has set record highs across France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.
本周熱浪席卷歐洲，法國(guó)、比利時(shí)、德國(guó)和荷蘭的氣溫皆創(chuàng)新高。

On July 25, Paris was the hottest it has ever been, with the temperature hitting nearly 110 degrees.
7月25日，巴黎達(dá)到了有史以來(lái)的最高溫度，氣溫接近110華氏度（43.3攝氏度）。

Notre Dame remains in a precarious state after suffering extensive fire damage in April, and one architect is worried the heat could make things worse.
經(jīng)歷了四月的重大火災(zāi)之后，巴黎圣母院依然處于危險(xiǎn)的狀態(tài)，一位建筑師擔(dān)心這樣的高溫會(huì)使情況更糟。

The stone walls of Notre Dame are still full of water that had been pumped into the towers when firefighters put out the fire.
巴黎圣母院的石墻里依然充滿了積水，這是消防員在撲滅大火的時(shí)候向塔里噴入的水。

At the moment, the sensors monitoring the cathedral aren’t showing signs of further damage. According to Philippe Villeneuve, the lead architect overseeing Notre Dame’s renovation, the heat could dry out the walls and compromise the cathedral’s structure.
目前，根據(jù)傳感器的檢測(cè)，這座教堂并沒(méi)有進(jìn)一步受損的跡象。但監(jiān)督巴黎圣母院翻修工作的首席建筑師菲利普·維綸紐夫表示，這樣的高溫可能會(huì)使石墻干透，使這座教堂的結(jié)構(gòu)處于危險(xiǎn)之中。

“What I fear is that the joints or the masonry , as they dry, lose their cohesion,” he told reporters, “and all of sudden, the vault gives way.”
“我擔(dān)心的是，接合處或砌磚在變干的時(shí)候會(huì)失去粘聚力，”他告訴記者，“然后穹頂突然就崩潰了。”

Though the structure has been stable since the fire, some parts of the vaults have yet to be secured. “[They] could still collapse at any moment,” Villeneuve said.
雖然自從火災(zāi)之后，它的結(jié)構(gòu)一直很穩(wěn)定，但穹頂?shù)囊恍┎考孕枰庸??！埃ㄋ鼈儯┮廊浑S時(shí)可能坍塌，”維綸紐夫說(shuō)道。

Reconstruction work on Notre Dame is set to begin soon: Last week, the French parliament approved a reconstruction bill that projects a timeline of five years.
巴黎圣母院的重建工作很快就會(huì)展開(kāi)：上個(gè)周法國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)為期五年的重建議案。

But some experts believe restoring the cathedral to its former glory will take longer, to ensure the structure remains intact.
但一些專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為，把這座教堂恢復(fù)到它曾經(jīng)的輝煌并確保其結(jié)構(gòu)依然完整將需要更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
