Flood: 曾经沧海难为水，如今临窗便观海
（Monday）
In recent years, the ever-visible headline is the certain place invites you to have a look at the so-called sea. Venice took centuries to become a water town while Wuhan just made it with several days. Whereas, Shenzhen could manage it with just few hours.
最近几年，霸屏大王就是“XX地方请你去看海”。水城威尼斯几百年做到的事，武汉几天就做到了；武汉几天做到的事情，深圳几个小时就做到了。
After heavy rain or continuous rainstorm hit our gorgeous city, residents throughout the city are all in a blue mood. If the condition was not worse, the citizens just have difficulty in traffic. If the whole city was overwhelmed with flood, the ground could turn to great lake or sea. At this particular moment, some proposed with this sentence---The most romantic things in the world in my mind is to witness flood-sea at work and observe the waterfall out of work together with you.
我们美丽的城市被暴雨或者连续暴雨袭击后，整个城市的居民全部都不好了，轻则出行不便重则平地变成胡海。在这个特殊的时刻有人求婚竟这样说世界上最浪漫的事情，就是上班陪你看海，下班陪你看瀑布。
Rainstorm is always so destructive and devastating. And continuous rainstorm could easily set off landslide and mudflow. Sometimes just lament for the insignificance and vulnerability of human beings due to the irresistible factors. However, the storm not only hit China but also swept across the world. In 2010, the highly daily rainfall of Sydney was over 330mm and the total volume was beyond six billion mm. In 2011, the storm and flood had caused losses of 100 million Australian dollars. At the same year, thousands of people had to leave their homeland in Pennsylvania of America. In 2016, the flood had created losses of over 2 billion euros (which is equal to 14.784 billion RMB) in Ile-de-France. Thus far, heavy rain keeps continuously falling in central China and you can only see the boundless sea as opening your eyes.
暴雨的威力就这么具有破坏性，然而持续暴雨则极其容易发生山洪进而引发山体滑坡与泥石流。总会有那么些时候因为不可抗拒的因素，觉得人特别特别的渺小与脆弱。暴雨不仅仅袭击中国，更是袭卷全世界。2010年的悉尼，日降雨最高超330毫米，超过600万。2011年的墨尔本，暴雨洪水导致1亿澳元损失。2011年的美国宾夕法尼亚洲，数以万计市民因为洪水被迫离开家园。2016年的法国巴黎大区，洪灾造成的损失或高达20亿欧元(约合人民币148.74亿元)。至今为止，中国中部地区还是连续大雨，入眼即是汪洋！
