Brazilian authorities say a night-club fire _1_ more than 200 people early today, mostly students in the southern city of Santa Maria. The BBC's Gary Duffy reports witnesses say the fire began after a member of a band that was playing at the time lit fireworks on stage.

巴西官方表示，今天早些時(shí)候，南部城市圣瑪麗亞市一家夜總會(huì)發(fā)生火災(zāi)，造成200余人死亡，其中大多數(shù)為學(xué)生。據(jù)BBC新聞的加里?達(dá)菲報(bào)道，現(xiàn)場目擊者表示，當(dāng)時(shí)在舞臺(tái)上表演的一名樂隊(duì)成員燃放煙花引起了火災(zāi)。

We are getting very clear as eyewitness accounts from people who were inside that club at the time and what they are saying is that the flames spread extremely quickly. Even so it is not the fire itself which _2_ for the majority of deaths. What the police and the fire services are saying quite emphatically is that people died in the panic to get out. So the question's now you are focusing on whether really the safety

procedures in this club were adequate.The BBC's Gary Duffy in Brazil.

據(jù)火災(zāi)發(fā)生時(shí)在夜總會(huì)內(nèi)的目擊者提供的信息，我們現(xiàn)在非常清楚地知道，火勢蔓延得非常迅速。但是大多數(shù)人死亡的原因不能歸咎于火災(zāi)本身。警方和消防人員強(qiáng)調(diào)稱，人們是因逃跑時(shí)的恐慌而死亡。所以現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該關(guān)注的問題是，這家夜總會(huì)的安全措施是否得當(dāng)。這是BBC新聞的加里?達(dá)菲從巴西帶來的報(bào)道。
