誤把榴蓮味當煤氣泄漏 澳大利亞一大學疏散數百人

More than 500 students and teachers were evacuated from a university in Melbourne, Australia, as a result of a smell initially suspected to be gas.

近日，澳大利亞墨爾本一所大學超過500名學生和老師，因聞到像煤氣的氣味而從該校撤離。

But it turned out the "gas" that students smelt at the RMIT's library was a rotting durian that had been left in a cupboard.

但事實證明，學生在皇家墨爾本理工大學的圖書館聞到的“氣體”，其實是來自櫃子裏的一隻腐爛的榴蓮。

The durian is a tropical fruit known for its strong, stinky smell.

榴蓮是一種熱帶水果，以其強烈的臭味聞名。

Firefighters said the smell had moved through the building via the air conditioning system.

消防隊員稱，該氣味通過空調系統散佈了大樓。

The building has now been reopened, Melbourne's Metropolitan Fire Brigade said in a statement.

墨爾本市區消防隊在一則聲明中表示，該圖書館現已重新開放。

Durians are a prized fruit in South East Asia with a sweet and creamy flesh, but their smell can take some getting used to.

榴蓮是東南亞的一種昂貴的水果，具有甜甜的奶油般的肉質，但一些人可能對它們的味道不太適應。
