【2012新说法】湖水变红，末日来临？
A preacher saw the so-called 'End Times' when a Texas lake almost dried up and turned bloody-red in the ongoing American summer but experts insisted that the searing drought merely deprived the water of oxygen, thus leaving thousands of fish dead and floating too.一位牧师近日看到德克萨斯州一湖泊在夏季几近干涸，湖水变成血红色，因而宣称世界末日即将来临。但专家们坚持认为持续的干旱分离了湖水中的氧气，使得湖中数千条鱼死亡并漂浮在水面上才造成这种效果。
According to a report by LiveScience on Monday, the phenomenal colour transformation of the lake, identified as OC Fisher Reservoir at San Angelo State Park in West Texas, was determined by state authorities as entirely caused by the works of a bacterium known as Chromatiaceae.根据LiveScience周一的报道，位于德克萨斯州西部圣安格鲁州立公园的OC养鱼水库湖水颜色的变化是由名为“着色菌科”的细菌引起的。
The report quoted Texas Parks and Wildlife technician Charles Cruz as saying that "it was pretty sickening going out there, watching lake levels just drop and drop and drop and seeing these nice trophy-sized bass just floating dead."这项报告引用了德克萨斯公园和野生动物技术员Charles Cruz的话说道：“每次走到那里看着湖的水平面一点点下降，还有那些鲈鱼死掉漂浮在水面上真的很让人作呕。”
Authorities said that at least 75 percent of Texas is experiencing severe drought, resulting to receding water levels of lakes across the state, including that of OC Fisher, which Cruz said only last year was brimming with "with catfish, bass, sunfish and other popular targets for fishermen."当局表示德克萨斯州75%的地区都在经历着干旱，由此导致整个州范围内的水平面下降，这其中就包括OC养鱼水库，Cruz介绍说去年水库里面还满是鲶鱼、鲈鱼、翻车鱼和其他垂钓者爱好的鱼类。
And as most of the water dried up, Chromatiaceae, which flourishes on oxygen-starved water reservoir, does it work was reflected on the new opaque-red colour of the West Texas lake.因为所有的水域基本都快干涸了，所以着色菌群在缺氧的水域繁殖，它们的颜色反映在水面上就是不透明的血红色。
Wildlife officials said they conducted a survey of the lake last year as Cruz told LiveScience that "we had a pretty good fish population out there," but as of last week, observers would see thousands of fish floating and virtually no signs of life.野生植物官员表示去年他们对此湖做了一个调查，就像Cruz向LiveScience透露的“该湖中有着丰富的鱼类种群”。但是上周，观察者们一经发现数千条鱼漂浮在水面上，湖里实际上已经没有了生命的迹象。
Cruz said that the lake not only turned red but was also transformed into a small pond that reeked the stench of dead fish.Cruz说道，不仅湖水变成了红色，整个湖变成了散发死鱼恶臭的池塘。
However, Indiana preacher Paul Begley has a different take on the Texas water that turned red, maintaining that the sign pointed to the likelihood of an apocalypse event as provided in prophesies backed by Biblical passages.然而，印第安纳州牧师Paul Begley对于湖水变红有着另外的看法，他坚持认为这是圣经里的启示录。
Citing the book of Revelation, Begley declared: "The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died ... The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood."根据《启示录》的提示，Begley宣称：“第二位天使将钵倒向大海，大海变成了死人的血红色，，大海里的生灵全部灭亡……，第三位天使将钵倒向河水和泉水中，它们变成了血红色。”
