印尼最活跃火山喷发 Indonesia's Most Active Volcano Erupts
印尼爪哇岛上一座正在喷发的火山使炽热的火山灰洒落到周围的村庄，造成至少6人受伤。
科学家说，印尼最活跃的火山默拉皮火山星期二晚上开始喷发。此前，这座火山轰鸣了几天，预示着可能有一场大的喷发。
在该地区进行报导的记者说，看到至少6人因为被火山灰和热气烧伤而被送到一家医院。他们说，无视撤离警告的村民正在惊慌逃走。一个两个月大的婴儿在她母亲逃出这一地区时死去。
在火山喷发之前，印尼当局将几千名儿童和老人从火山山坡上疏散到临时住所。但还有数千名村民留在家中照看牲畜和农作物。
默拉皮火山上次喷发是在2006年，造成2人死亡。1994年一次类似的喷发导致至少60人死亡，而1930年的喷发造成1千300人死亡。
An erupting volcano on Indonesia's Java island has sent ash and hot air onto surrounding villages, injuring at least six people.
Scientists say Mount Merapi, Indonesia's most active volcano, began erupting late Tuesday after days of rumbling that signaled a major eruption was possible.
Journalists in the area reported seeing at least six people being taken to a hospital with burns from the ash and hot air. They said villagers who ignored warnings to evacuate were fleeing in panic. A two-month-old baby died as her mother fled the area.
Before the eruption, Indonesian authorities evacuated several thousand children and the elderly from villages on the volcano's slopes to makeshift shelters. But thousands of other villagers stayed behind to take care of their livestock and crops.
Mount Merapi last erupted in 2006, killing two people. A similar eruption in 1994 killed at least 60 people, while a 1930 eruption killed 1,300.
