误把榴莲味当煤气泄漏 澳大利亚一大学疏散数百人

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，澳大利亚墨尔本一所大学超过500名学生和老师，因闻到像煤气的气味而从该校撤离。

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.

但事实证明，学生在皇家墨尔本理工大学的图书馆闻到的“气体”，其实是来自柜子里的一只腐烂的榴莲。

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

榴莲是一种热带水果，以其强烈的臭味闻名。

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

消防队员称，该气味通过空调系统散布了大楼。

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

墨尔本市区消防队在一则声明中表示，该图书馆现已重新开放。

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

榴莲是东南亚的一种昂贵的水果，具有甜甜的奶油般的肉质，但一些人可能对它们的味道不太适应。
