You'd expect that, and the fact that the volcanic ash drifted so swiftly.

火山灰飄散得如此之快，也在意料之中。

But not that the effects would go on for so long, or that two years after the eruption, strange weather events were being reported as far away as North America and North Africa. No, I found all that hard to believe, too.

但我並不相信這種影響會持續如此之久，也不相信在火山爆發兩年後，遠在北美和北非都有關於奇怪天氣事件的報道。不，我也覺得這一切難以置信。

It must have been terrible, and there was nothing anyone could do about it, even if they knew the ash cloud was coming in their direction.

那一定很可怕，即使知道火山灰雲正朝他們的方向飄來，大家也無能為力。
