神秘的石油泄漏污染海滩，巴西正在清理

Brazil's tourism minister said Friday (October 25) that beaches that were affected by the mysterious oily sludge that has plagued the northeastern coast of the country have been cleaned and are once again fit for tourists.

巴西旅游部长星期五(10月25日)说，受困扰巴西东北部海岸的神秘油泥影响的海滩已经被清理干净，再次适合游客前往。

Brazil's government said Monday (October 21) that it had collected more than 600 tonnes of oil from its northeastern beaches since September 12.

巴西政府周一(10月21日)表示，自9月12日以来，已从巴西东北部海滩收集了600多吨石油。

"We know that there are beaches that were impacted and which were cleaned and are now fit [for public use]. Less than 10 percent of the beaches of Pernambuco were impacted by the oil. Today, some of those beaches are now clean and in full condition to receive tourists.

“我们知道有些海滩受到了影响，已经被清理干净，现在适合(公共使用)。伯南布哥不到10%的海滩受到石油的影响。如今，这些海滩中的一些已经清洁干净，完全可以接待游客。

“我们知道有些海滩受到了影响，经过清理，现在适合(公众使用)。伯南布哥不到10%的海滩受到了石油的影响。如今，这些海滩中的一些已经清洁干净，完全可以接待游客。”

"And, that's what we want to responsibly show: that the very beaches that were impacted and cleaned are available for tourism."

“而且，这正是我们要负责任地表明的：那些受到影响和清洁的海滩也可以用于旅游。”

Oil has been washing up on the shores of northeastern Brazil for two months. More than 200 locations along the coast have been affected, threatening marine life, authorities said.

两个月来，巴西东北部海岸一直被石油冲刷。当局表示，沿岸200多个地点受到影响，威胁到海洋生物。

Brazil's government has said the oil spill is Venezuelan in origin, but has mostly stopped short of blaming their socialist government for the incident. Venezuela has denied it is to blame.

巴西政府曾表示，石油泄漏的源头是委内瑞拉，但基本上没有将事故归咎于其社会主义政府。委内瑞拉否认对此负责。
