纪录片《中国春节》 第85期 欢庆（32）（在线收听）

The fireworks for tonight's display have been set up on the three barges out there in the middle of the harbour.

今晚表演的烟花已经放在码头中间的三艘船上了

The budget for this event is a staggering 3 quarters of a million pounds

这个活动的预算是惊人的75万英镑

and it takes months of planning and preparation.

还有好几个月的计划和准备工作

To find out a little bit more, I went to meet the brains behind the display, Wilson Mau.

为了解得更多，我去见见幕后指挥者，威尔森·茅

Beautiful early morning in Hong Kong and I am heading out to the barge,

这是香港早晨，我前往驳船去见

which is where Wilson and his crew are working, setting up all the fireworks in preparation for the display.

在那里工作的威尔森和他的队员们，他们在放置所有准备表演的烟花

It takes a week to load up the barges with 4.5 thousand kilograms of highly explosive pyrotechnics.

在船上装烟花用了一周，共有4500公斤威力巨大的烟花

Wilson has mapped out a spectacular show,

威尔森计划了一次壮观的演出

so he's making sure they are positioned perfectly to go off at the right place and time.

因此他要确保烟花放置准确，在正确的地方和时间升空

So those are the launch tubes. The actual explosives, the fireworks are stuffed in those?

这些是发射管。炸药，烟花被塞进里面

Yes. Right. There is an electric match, together with the shell.

是的。对。烟花弹配有电子火柴

When the electric match ignites, the shell is going to propel from the launch tube.

一旦电子火柴打火，烟花弹就从发射管升空

Is there any danger when you've got this much explosive

一只板条箱装这么多爆炸物

in one crates, that one will go off and that will somehow set off the rest of them. No.

有没有危险，一箱爆炸而引起余下的爆炸。不会。　　

We have very rare incidents like what you said.

你说的那种事故很罕见

Although sometimes there may be some fire burn on some wires, that may happen.

尽管有时电线上会起火，那可能发生。
