近日，上海为不熟悉线上操作的老年人提供了随申码离线服务。老年人可前往全市多个行政服务中心、社区事务受理中心以及通信运营商的营业厅申请随申码离线服务。

3.FIREFIGHTERS CONTINUE TO BATTLE BLAZES IN GREECE

希腊山火持续肆虐，总理向国民道歉

Firefighters and residents continued to tackle【应付】fires on Greece’s second-largest island for an eighth day on Tuesday as the country endured what the prime minister described as "a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions."

到本周二，希腊第二大岛埃维亚岛的山火已持续8天，当地消防队员和居民仍在努力扑救。希腊总理称此次大火为“前所未有的自然灾害”。

Smoke and ash from Evia, a rugged island of forests and coves close to the Greek mainland, blocked out the sun and turned the sky orange. The massive fire, which began on August 3, is the most severe of the hundreds of fires Greece has been enduring throughout the past week, destroying pristine【原始状态的】pine forests as well as homes and businesses and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people by sea. Greece has been hit by its worst heat wave in three decades, which sent temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius and turned its prized pine forests into tinderboxes【火药桶】.

埃维亚岛邻近希腊大陆，岛上森林、水湾遍布。如今，烟雾和火山灰遮住了太阳，将天空染成橙色。希腊在过去一周中经历了数百场大火，而这场始于8月3日的大火无疑是其中最严重的一场。原始松树林、房屋、厂房被摧毁，数百人被迫从海上撤离。希腊遭受了30年来最强热浪的侵袭，气温高达45摄氏度，珍贵的松树林成了一点就燃的火药桶。

INTERVIEW:

Mina, Resident

米娜当地居民

“Terrible. I cannot explain to you, like a horror movie.”

（山火）太可怕了，没法用言语来形容，就像是一场恐怖电影。

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside parliament in Athens on Monday over the government’s handling of the wildfires. The Prime Minister of Greece apologized on Monday for failures in tackling the devastating event.

周一，数百名示威者聚集在希腊议会大厦外举行抗议活动，表达对政府应对火灾反应迟缓的不满。当天，希腊总理就未能应对各地火灾道歉。

INTERVIEW:

Kyriakos Mitsotakis

米佐塔基斯希腊总理

“I will be the first to apologize for any weaknesses. I fully understand the pain of those who watched their homes and properties burn, and the frustration of those who were evacuated from their hometowns.”

对灭火工作中的任何纰漏，我是第一责任人，应该向国民道歉。我完全理解那些目睹房屋和财产被毁的灾民内心的痛苦，被迫疏散的居民的沮丧。

Mitsotakis announced that a supplementary support package of 500 million euros will made available to people who have lost homes and property in the fire-stricken areas of Attica and Evia island. During the last two weeks, fires also have burned tens of thousands of hectares of forest in Turkey’s Mediterranean and Aegean provinces, killing eight people and forcing thousands to flee to safety. In neighboring Italy, Venice’s St. Mark’s Square flooded twice over the weekend, which is unusual and out of season in the month of August. The Venice municipality【市】said water levels rose to 1 meter on Saturday evening. The floods are caused by a combination of factors exacerbated【使恶化】by climate change, including rising sea levels and unusually high tides, as well as land subsidence【地面下沉】.

米佐塔基斯表示，政府将从国家预算中拨款5亿欧元,用于资助雅典所在阿提卡大区和埃维亚岛火灾中失去家园的民众。过去两周，大火还烧毁了土耳其南部地中海和爱琴海地区数万公顷的森林，造成8人死亡，数千人紧急撤离至安全地带。近日，意大利也遭遇反常天气，威尼斯的圣马可广场在周末两次遭水淹。威尼斯市政当局表示，周六晚水位已上升至1米。此次洪水是由气候变化加剧等多种因素造成的，包括海平面上升、潮汐异常以及地面沉降等。
