如果你这几天一直在关注新闻，你肯定会注意到这处核电站遭遇了类似“爆炸”、“部分熔化”、“泄露”以及“辐射曝露”这些相当紧急的状况。

If you've been following the news, you've seen some pretty alarming stuff going on at this plant — terms like "explosion," "partial meltdown," "evacuation," and "radiation exposure." Scary stuff.

首先需要说明的是，“熔化”并不是什么精确定义的专业术语，在用来衡量反应堆状况时，这个词显得相当无用。

First of all, a "meltdown" is not a precisely defined term, which makes it fairly useless as an indicator of what's going on.
