1 | Netizens Think Official Explanations for Tianjin's Dead Fish Are as Likely as Fish Drowning | Trondro maty an-drano ireo tao Tianjin ireo raha amin'ny filazana ofisialy, hoy ny fiheveran'ny mpiserasera |
2 | A collection of fish gravestones list causes of death as homicide, suicide, suffocation, drowning and fits of rage. | Andiam-batom-pasan'ny trondro lazaina ho novonoin'ny olona, namono tena, sempotra, maty an-drano ary tratran'ny faharomotana. |
3 | Cartoon drawn by DSX circulated on Weibo. | Sariitatra namboarin'ny DSX nipariktaka tao amin'ny Weibo. |
4 | A week after massive blasts at a chemical storage warehouse killed at least 116 people in Tianjin, China, thousands of dead fish appeared in a river near the explosion site. | Herinandro taorian'ny fipoahana mahatsiravina tao amin'ny trano fitehirizana entana shimika izay namoizana ain'olona 116 tao Tianjin, Shina, trondro an'arivony maty no nipoitra tamin'ny renirano tsy lavitry ny toerana nisy ny fipoahana. |
5 | Local residents feared the fish were poisoned by cyanide that leaked from the warehouse into the waterway. | Nanahy ny mponina tao an-toerana fa voapoizin'ny sianora (cyanure) tafavoaka ny trano fitehirizana entana nankao anaty renirano ireo trondro ireo . |
6 | To prevent panic from spreading, the Tianjin Environmental Monitoring Center announced that cyanide levels were “zero” in three water samples collected along the coast on August 20. | Mba hisorohana ny tahotra tsy hiparitaka, nanambara ny Foibe Fanaraha-maso ny Tontolo Iainana ao Tianjin fa “zero” ny tahan'ny sianora tao anatin'ny santionan-drano telo nangonina nanaraka ny morondrano tamin'ny 20 Aogositra. |
7 | Though the cyanide levels of water sample collected from a rain water pump station and at the center of the crater was 356 times and 800 times above standards respectively, the bureau stressed that the polluted water had been sealed off at the explosion site and ruled out a link between the dead fish and chemical leakage. | Na dia in-356 sy in-800 ambonin'ny fenitra avy aza ny tahan'ny sianida tamin'ireo santionan-drano nangonina tamin'ny paompin-dranon'orana sy tao afovoan'ny lavaka nisian'ny fipoahana, navoitran'ny Birao fa nijanona tao amin'ny toerana nisy ny fipoahana ny rano voaloto ary tsy misy ny fifandraisana amin'ny trondro maty sy ny fangaro shimika niparitaka. |
8 | Yet, even outside the quarantine zone, some water samples indicated that the cyanide levels reached up to eight times above normal. | Na izany aza, tamin'ny ivelan'ny faritra natoka-toerana, voatondro tamin'ireo santionan-drano fa tafakatra valo heny mihoatra noho ny ara-dalàna ny tahan'ny sianora. |
9 | Earlier this week, Chinese authorities confirmed that 700 tons of highly poisonous sodium cyanide were stored in the warehouse when the explosions took place on August 12. | Tany am-piandohan'ity herinandro ity, nanamafy ny manampahefana Shinoa fa poizina sodiôma-na sianora 700 taonina no notehirizina tao amin'ny trano fanatobiana entana izay nitrangan'ny fipoahana tamin'ny 12 Aogositra. |
10 | In a press conference on August 20, Deng Xiaowen, director of the Tianjin Environmental Monitoring Center, said that the fish could have died for many reasons, such as a change in water temperature or levels of salt or oxygen. | Tamin'ny valan-dresaka hoan'ny mpanao gazety tamin'ny 20 Aogositra, nilaza i Deng Xiaowen, talen'ny Foibe Fanaraha-maso ny Tontolo Iainana ao Tianjin fa mety antony maro no nahafaty ireo trondro, toy ny fiovan'ny maripànan'ny rano na fiovan'ny tahan'ny sira na tahan'ny oksizena. |
11 | He also pointed out that the water quality in Tianjin has historically been poor and similar incidents have happened before. | Nanamarika ihany koa izy fa ara-tantara, ratsy dia ratsy ny kalitaon'ny rano ao Tianjin ary efa nitranga ny loza tahaka izany teo aloha. |
12 | But many found the explanation hard to believe. | Saingy maro ireo nahita ny fanazavana ho sarotra inoana. |
13 | Cartoonist DSX's latest work (see top image) captured popular skepticism with a piece that depicted a pair of fish near several fish gravestones, listing homicide, suicide, suffocation, drowning and fits of rage as their cause of death. | Nanaitra ny fisalasalan'ny olona ny sangan'asa farany nataon'ny DSX, mpanao sariitatra (jereo ny sary ambony) tamin'ny sary mampiseho trondro mpivady eo akaikin'ireo vatom-pasana trondro mitanisa vono olona, famonoan-tena, fahasemporana, maty an-drano, tratran'ny haromotana ho anton'ny nahafatesan'izy ireo. |
14 | On Twitter, @Lianhuaxiaofo made a similar satirical remark: | Tao amin'ny Twitter, @Lianhuaxiaofo nanao fanamarihana manesoeso mitovitovy amin'izany : |
15 | Sina headline: Massive amounts of dead fish found in Tianjin Harbor, six kilometers away from the explosion site. | Lohatenin'ny Sina: Fatin-trondro marobe hita tao amin'ny seranan-tsambon'i Tianjin, enina kilometatra miala amin'ny toerana nisy ny fipoahana. |
16 | These fish felt ashamed. | Nahatsiaro menatra ireo trondro ireo. |
17 | They saw that so many people had died. | Nahita izy ireo fa maro ny olona namoy ny ainy. |
18 | They felt sorry and drowned themselves. | Nalahelo izy ireo ka namono tena nandetika ny tenany tany anaty rano. |
19 | Those bastard government officials and corrupt businessmen should die instead. | Ireo manampahefam-panjakana mpamadika sy mpandraharaha mpanao kolikoly ireo no tokony ho faty. |
20 | Now, you fish are dead and the motherf***ers still insist it is normal. | Ankehitriny, maty ny trondro ary mbola misisika milaza ry ki***reny fa ara-dalàna izany. |
21 | On popular social media website Weibo, local media outlets quoted many experts to explain that what happened to the fish was not related to the explosions. | Tao amin'ny habaka media sosialy malaza, Weibo, fampahalalam-baovao ao an-toerana nitanisa ireo manampahaizana maro manazava fa tsy misy ifandraisany amin'ny fipoahana ny zava-nitranga tamin'ireo trondro. |
22 | But as Weibo user Xue Hanbo pointed out, this failed to assuage people's fears: | Saingy mpisera Weibo iray, Xue Hanbo nanamarika fa tsy nahomby tamin'ny fampitoniana ny tahotry ny olona izany: |
23 | Though [the authorities] explained what happened to the dead fish, the clarification did not address people's doubts. | Na dia nanazava ny zava-nitranga tamin'ireo trondro maty aza [ny manam-pahefana], tsy namaly ny ahiahiam-bahoaka ny fanazavana. |
24 | Perhaps the answer was the truth, but the investigation process was not transparent enough and the government has lost its credibility already. | Angamba marina ny valinteny, saingy tsy mangarahara araka ny tokony ho izy ny dingana fanadihadiana ary efa tsy azo itokisana intsony ny governemanta. |
25 | As a result, a simple answer seems to have generated more doubts. | Vokatr'izany, toa vao maika niteraka ahiahy ny valinteny tsotra. |
26 | As the issue at stake affects ordinary people, [the authorities] have to involve people in the search for answers and let the media cover the news objectively. | Satria misy fiantraikany amin'ny olon-tsotra ny zava-nitranga, dia tsy maintsy mampiditra olona amin'ny fikarohana valinteny [ny manam-pahefana] ary mamela ny haino aman-jery hitati-baovao tsy am-piangarana. |
