"I wish we could find him.
“我希望我们能找到他。
I wish he would come home," Anushila Bhandari, wife of Aurus Bhandari, a 33-year-old engineer missing on a project site, told BBC Nepali. It comes as the death toll from the flood disaster on the Nepal-Tibet border reached 939, according to the country's disaster management authority.

Rescuers began pumping air into a tunnel over the weekend, but the families of those trapped say that should have been done earlier. A team was able to get into a tunnel leading to one hydropower plant earlier on Monday, but withdrew after finding no one there.
救援人员周末开始向隧道中泵入空气，但被困人员的家属表示，应该早点做。 周一早些时候，一支队伍进入了通往一座水电站的隧道，但在发现那里无人后撤退。
"The longer it takes, the more our hope dies.

"It's a frustratingly slow operation," Khadka added. Nepalese leader Shah said rescue operations had been "intensified", noting that 11,379 people had been rescued so far.
“这是一个令人沮丧的缓慢操作，”卡德卡补充道。 尼泊尔领导人沙阿表示救援行动已经“加强”，并指出迄今为止已有 11,379 人获救。

Australian engineer Arnold Dix, who has been helping Nepalese authorities with the underground search operations remotely, said rescuers had been struggling to find the tunnels. "The actual signature of them has gone - everything is just missing.

It looks like a lunar landscape," he told BBC Radio 4's World at One.
它看起来就像月球上的景观，”他告诉 BBC 广播 4 台的 World at One。
Once rescuers knew where the power stations were, Dix said they could then decide the best way to access them, which typically involves digging and "blasting boulders". "There's boulders bigger than houses - I've never seen that before in my life.
迪克斯说，一旦救援人员知道发电站在哪里，他们就可以决定进入发电站的最佳方式，这通常涉及挖掘和“爆破巨石”。 “那里有比房子还大的巨石——我以前从未见过这种情况。

Authorities in Chitwan have resorted to burying unidentified bodies In Tibet, the official death toll is 16, with 546 reported missing, according to Chinese state media. Footage of the floods has been heavily censored in China. Chinese authorities have imposed "administrative penalties" – which can range from warnings and fines to short detentions – on people speculating online that the casualty numbers are a lot higher than reported.
