大学师生因“煤气泄漏”紧急撤离,“元凶”竟是这种水果!

More than 500 students and teachers were evacuated from a university in Melbourne, Australia, as a result of a smell initially suspected to be gas.

因为闻起来像煤气的气味,导致澳大利亚墨尔本的一所大学的超过500名学生和老师从中撤离。

But it turned out the “gas” that students smelt at the RMIT’s library was a rotting durian that had been left in a cupboard.

但事实证明,学生在RMIT图书馆闻到的“气体”来自柜子里的一只腐烂的榴莲。

The durian is a tropical fruit known for its strong, stinky smell.

榴莲是一种热带水果,以其强烈的臭味闻名。

Firefighters said the smell had moved through the building via the air conditioning system.

消防队员说,该气味通过空调系统散布了大楼。

The building has now been reopened, Melbourne’s Metropolitan Fire Brigade said in a statement.

墨尔本市消防队在一份声明中表示,该大楼现已重新开放。

After staff and students at the university reported a smell they thought to be gas in a library building, they were evacuated by the local police force.

大学的工作人员和学生报告了他们以为图书馆里散发着煤气味之后,被当地警察部队撤离。

The fire brigade said the building stores potentially dangerous chemicals, triggering an investigation into the source of the smell.

消防队表示,该建筑物存储潜在危险的化学物质,这引发了对气味来源的调查。

After what the fire brigade described as a “comprehensive search”, they discovered that the smell was not a chemical gas but rather that it came from a durian that was going off.

消防队所谓的“全面搜索”之后,他们发现,这种气味并不是化学气体,而是榴莲发出的气味。

Durians are a prized fruit in South East Asia with a sweet and creamy flesh, but their smell can take some getting used to.

榴莲是东南亚的一种昂贵水果,具有甜甜的奶油般的肉质,但它们的味道一些人可能不适应。
