观看：老师打电话后拯救了 900 名学生的生命 一位校长讲述了他如何在尼泊尔洪水中拯救了 900 名学生的生命，他在洪水袭来前 10 分钟迅速疏散了他们。
Rajendra Dawadi, who is in charge of Tribhuvan Trishuli Secondary School in Nuwakot, told the BBC he had received four calls at 09:10 local time (03:25 GMT) warning about the disaster, which has now claimed at least 794 lives.
努瓦科特 Tribhuvan Trishuli 中学的负责人拉金德拉·达瓦迪 (Rajendra Dawadi) 告诉 BBC，他于当地时间 09:10（格林尼治标准时间 03:25）接到四个电话，警告这场灾难，目前这场灾难已夺去了至少 794 人的生命。
He quickly decided to evacuate, telling the children to run to higher ground and ordering buses full of students to turn around to flee the area.
他很快决定撤离，告诉孩子们跑到地势较高的地方，并命令满载学生的巴士掉头逃离该地区。
Dawadi said: "If we didn't make a quick decision, if it was 10 minutes later, we all - including the students and me - wouldn't be able to speak to you today."
达瓦迪说：“如果我们不迅速做出决定，如果再晚10分钟，我们所有人——包括学生和我——今天就无法和你们说话了。”
What we know about deadly Nepal-Tibet floods The warnings had come from four different people in the space of minutes and helped him evaluate the impending danger.
我们对尼泊尔和西藏致命洪水的了解 几分钟内，四个不同的人发出了警告，帮助他评估了迫在眉睫的危险。
"A parent came and told me that 'a big flood was coming, I am here to take my daughter, I will take her'," he added.
“一位家长过来告诉我‘一场大洪水即将来临，我来这里是为了带我的女儿，我会带她’，”他补充道。
"Parents don't rush without a strong reason, so it was confirmed that I shouldn't waste a second to evacuate the children.
“父母不会在没有充分理由的情况下匆忙，所以我确认我不应该浪费一秒钟来疏散孩子们。
"I decided I shouldn't delay any more.
“我决定不再拖延了。
Even if the flood was not coming, it was just a matter of a single day's classes.
就算洪水不来，也不过是一天的课而已。
"I feel proud that we saved so many lives." The floods - which decimated parts of Nepal on Wednesday and have left at least 2,426 people missing - saw the school building buried under mud and debris.
“我为我们拯救了这么多生命感到自豪。” 洪水周三摧毁了尼泊尔部分地区，造成至少 2,426 人失踪，学校建筑被泥土和瓦砾掩埋。
Dawadi said the waters arrived so quickly that a hostel building about 100m (328ft) from the river was engulfed immediately.
达瓦迪说，洪水来得如此之快，距离河流约 100m（328 英尺）的一栋旅馆大楼立即被吞没。
Pupil Yunisha Amatya, 16, managed to get to safety with just moments to spare At first, many students did not realise how serious the situation was.
16 岁的学生尤尼莎·阿马蒂亚 (Yunisha Amatya) 在时间紧迫的情况下成功抵达安全地带 起初，许多学生并没有意识到情况有多严重。
Pupil Yunisha Amatya, 16, said she scrambled to safety with her friends just before the flood hit.
16 岁的学生尤尼莎·阿马蒂亚 (Yunisha Amatya) 说，在洪水袭来之前，她和朋友们一起爬到了安全地带。
"I along with my friends survived by just 10 seconds only," she told the BBC.
“我和我的朋友们只存活了 10 秒，”她告诉 BBC。
"Just before the flood came, we were in the class studying.
“洪水来之前，我们正在班上学习。
Teachers had gathered in one place and initially had no idea what had happened.
老师们聚集在一个地方，一开始不知道发生了什么。
After five minutes teachers came and informed us about the flood and asked us to go home."
五分钟后，老师来了，告诉我们洪水的情况，并让我们回家。”
She said one student fainted after hearing about the disaster, but many initially underestimated the danger and waited for classmates who were in a maths lesson. Yunisha and her friends scrambled uphill through an escape route behind the school. "I could not walk fast, and my friends helped me to climb uphill.
她说，一名学生在听说这场灾难后晕倒了，但许多人最初低估了危险，而是等待正在上数学课的同学。 尤妮莎和她的朋友们沿着学校后面的逃生路线爬上山。 “我走得不快，我的朋友们帮我爬上山。
We tried our best to be in the safer zones then.
当时我们尽最大努力进入更安全的区域。
We escaped through a narrow ladder from backside of the school.
我们从学校后面的狭窄梯子逃了出来。
Within no time, the bazaar was swept away in front of my eyes," she says, referring to the local market around the school. "If there was no grip in my shoes I would have fallen and students and other people were jostling each other to reach the safer area while escaping. The people who choose to escape from another route are apparently swept away." Students and teachers initially moved a few hundred metres uphill to safety before making their way to a neighbouring village.
很快，集市就在我眼前消失了。”她指的是学校周围的当地市场。 “如果我的鞋子没有抓地力，我就会摔倒，学生和其他人在逃跑时会互相推挤以到达更安全的区域。 选择从另一条路线逃跑的人显然被卷走了。” 学生和老师最初爬了几百米到达安全地带，然后前往邻近的村庄。
With roads cut off and transport disrupted, many remained stranded for two nights before rescue efforts reached them. The principal and Yunisha, who both live across the river from the school, were eventually airlifted back to their home village.
由于道路被切断、交通中断，许多人在救援人员到达之前被困了两个晚上。 校长和尤妮莎都住在学校的河对岸，最终被空运回了家乡。
Meanwhile parents were desperately trying to contact their children and relatives.
与此同时，父母们拼命地试图联系他们的孩子和亲戚。
Yunisha's mother, Sabina Kumari Shrestha, says she repeatedly tried to call both her daughter and husband, but neither could be reached.
尤尼莎的母亲萨宾娜·库马里·什雷斯塔 (Sabina Kumari Shrestha) 表示，她多次尝试给女儿和丈夫打电话，但都无法接通。
Her husband, Yubaraj Amatya, immediately headed towards the school.
她的丈夫尤巴拉吉·阿马蒂亚立即朝学校走去。
"Soon after the flood news spread, I tried my daughter's number, but she was not reachable, then I was afraid," he said.
“洪水消息传出后不久，我尝试了女儿的电话号码，但无法联系到她，然后我很害怕，”他说。
"Within a few minutes I rushed toward my daughter's school and Trishuli Bazar was all swept by the flood, then I thought my daughter was no more.
“几分钟之内，我冲向女儿的学校，特里苏里巴扎尔全部被洪水冲毁，然后我以为我的女儿已经不复存在了。
I was so horrified, stopped my scooter, there was flooding but I could not think of returning without my daughter."
我非常害怕，停下了我的摩托车，洪水泛滥，但我无法想象没有我的女儿就可以回去。”
For nearly an hour, he had no idea whether she was alive and kept calling her without success.
近一个小时，他不知道她是否还活着，一直打电话给她，但没有成功。
Then the phone finally connected and Yunisha answered. "Finally, my daughter received my call and I couldn't stop myself, broke out... two relatives that were with me also cried and hugged me," he said.
然后电话终于接通了，尤妮莎接听了。 “最后，我的女儿接到了我的电话，我无法阻止自己，爆发了……和我在一起的两个亲戚也哭了，拥抱了我，”他说。
Yunisha appears tearful as she recalls that moment. "After I had reached the top of the hill, I received a call from my father.
尤妮莎回忆起那一刻时显得泪流满面。 “当我到达山顶后，我接到了父亲的电话。
He was tearful and I could not speak a word then," she said.

I am sad about my further studies."
我对我的进一步学习感到难过。”
Head teacher Dawadi says better warning systems, including sirens and evacuation alerts, could have helped residents respond sooner.
班主任达瓦迪说，更好的警报系统，包括警报器和疏散警报，可以帮助居民更快地做出反应。
But he believes his decision to act immediately prevented a catastrophe. "Had I decided to close the school after the period, nothing might be left, only the bell would be ringing at 9:30."
但他相信他立即采取行动的决定避免了一场灾难。 “如果我决定在课后关闭学校，那么什么都不会留下，只有9点30分的铃声会响起。”
