周一下午6点40分左右，大火从93米高的塔尖底部开始，蔓延到教堂的屋顶。教堂的屋顶由数百根橡木梁组成，其中一些梁的历史可以追溯到13世纪。

The fire, which had started at the base of the 93-metre spire at about 6: 40 pm on Monday, spread through the cathedral's roof, made up of hundreds of oak beams, some dating back to the 13th century.

它们就像有着成百根手指头的灰手掌。

They were like grey hands with a hundred fingers.

我们的摇篮里肯定有几百根稻草了——或许已有上千根了。

There must be hundreds of straws in our crib-maybe a thousand.
