新奇事件簿 失联30年后姐妹终团聚
Two sisters in Colombia who were separated as children by an avalanche 30 years ago have been reunited. Jaqueline and Lorena Sanchez thought they had lost each other forever in 1985 when the Tolima volcano erupted near their town of Armero. The hot, molten lava from the volcano melted nearby glaciers and caused four massive mudslides. These killed more than 20,000 of Armero's 29,000 inhabitants. Jaqueline, 33, and Lorena, 39, never found each other in the chaos that followed the disaster. They each assumed the other was among the deceased. Armero was the second most deadly volcanic disaster of the 20th century. Only the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee in the Caribbean was deadlier.
三十年前，两姐妹在暴风雪中失散，如今这对哥伦比亚姐妹终团聚。1985年，阿尔梅罗小镇附近的托利马火山爆发，杰奎琳和罗雷娜本以为永不会相见。熊熊岩浆融化了附近冰川，并引发四次大规模泥石流。阿尔梅罗镇原有居民2.9万人，超过2万人丧生。灾难过后，33岁的杰奎琳和39岁的罗雷娜并没有寻找对方。均认为对方在灾难中遇难。此次喷发也是20世纪第二大火山灾难。20世纪最惨重火山灾难要追述到1902年的培雷火山。
The two sisters were adopted by different families and never knew each other's fate. They have both spent much of the past few decades looking for each other. They were reunited when DNA tests they gave to an organization that helped victims of the avalanches matched. Lorena told reporters: "It was beautiful and sad because it has been 30 years since the tragedy happened that I've come to find out what happened to my sister. I have to catch up with 30 years of her life and she has to do the same with me." Jaqueline said: "I'm excited, nervous, everything because suddenly, you don't know if you are going to be rejected.I wonder if she will love me. It's difficult. It's difficult to explain this moment."
两姐妹被不同家庭收养，并失去联络。过去几十年间，两人均试图寻找对方。双方向某基因匹配组织提供DNA，该组织专门帮助火山遇难民众进行DNA匹配。罗雷娜对记者说：“我既高兴又悲伤，事情已经过去30年里，直到现在我才知道妹妹的状况。我要追寻她这30年的生活，她也要同样了解我。”杰奎琳表示：“我现在紧张兴奋，一切都太突然了，你不知道会不会被拒绝。不知道她还爱不爱我。这种经历很难言说。无法表达此时此刻的状态。”
