Theresa May has ordered a full public inquiry into the fire at Grenfell Tower in west London which is feared to have left scores of people dead.

特里萨?梅(Theresa May)下令对伦敦西部格伦费尔大楼(Grenfell Tower)火灾展开全面公开调查。此次火灾恐已造成数十人遇难。

“Right now people want answers and it’s absolutely right. And that’s why I am today ordering a full public inquiry into this disaster,” the prime minister said. “We need to have an explanation of this. We owe that to the families, to the people who have lost loved ones, friends and the homes in which they lived.”

“眼下人们希望得到答案,这绝对是正确的。这也是为什么我今天下令对此次灾难展开全面公开调查,”英国首相表示,“我们需要获得解释。我们要为那些家庭、那些失去爱人、朋友和家的人获得一个解释。”

The death toll has risen to 17, with police warning many more may have perished after flames ripped through the 24-storey apartment block in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

死亡人数已上升至30人,警方警告称,可能有更多人遇难。周三凌晨,这栋24层公寓楼几乎完全笼罩在火焰中。

“We do believe that that number will sadly increase,” Commander Stuart Cundy of the London Metropolitan Police said on Thursday. “Our absolute priority is identifying and locating those people who are still missing.”

“令人悲伤的是,我们认为遇难人数还会增加,”伦敦警察厅(Metropolitan Police)指挥官斯图尔特?坎迪(Stuart Cundy)表示,“我们的绝对重点是识别和找到那些仍然失踪的人。”

Nick Hurd, policing and fire minister, said 65 people had been rescued by emergency services and 28 were in a critical condition.

警务和消防部长尼克?赫德(Nick Hurd)表示,急救服务抢救了65人,其中28人伤势严重。

He stressed that the causes of the blaze were still unknown and advised people not to jump to conclusions.

他强调称,此次火灾的原因仍然不得而知,并建议人们不要贸然下结论。

Pressure had been mounting for a public inquiry into the disaster, with Sadiq Khan, mayor of London, saying that there were “pressing questions, which demand urgent answers”.

此前外界要求对此次灾难进行公开调查的压力越来越大,伦敦市长萨迪克?汗(Sadiq Khan)称,目前有一些“紧迫的问题亟需答案”。

Grenfell Tower was built in 1974 but had recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, carried out by architects Studio E and contractor Rydon Construction. The refurbishment, which was finished last year, included new facilities at the base of the building, new windows and a recladding of the fa?ades.

格伦费尔大楼建于1974年,但最近进行了全面翻新,由建筑设计公司“E工作室”(Studio E)和承包商“赖登建筑公司”(Rydon Construction)承接。翻新于去年完工,包括在大楼底部的新设施、新窗户以及外墙重新贴面。
