These very high altitude gardens receive precip in the form of mists, even when the rainy season is dry. 你拿到的是特例(高级的大叶种)。这些高海拔的茶园，即使在乾燥的雨季当中， (premium clonal) 也能从雾气环绕的环境下吸收水分。如果是传统品种，其采摘期会一直持续至三月底， 且是在非常乾燥环境下的收成。 Darjeeling News / The Telegraph Darjeeling, March 20, 2009 Rainfall in Darjeeling today after almost five months helped settle the dust, but failed to provide much needed relief to the tea planters and the people in general. With overcast skies since early morning, many residents were hoping for a rain. While it drizzled in the morning, there was a shower for about half an hour around 11.30am. 今天一场历经将近五个月晴天的降雨，终於让飞扬的尘土平定下来，不过仍然没 能提供茶农及民众足够的雨量。整个多云飘着毛毛细雨的早晨，许多居名仍旧怀 着下雨的希望。终於在大约十一点三十分左右盼到大约半小时的阵雨。 Darjeeling tea planters said the rainfall was just a little too late. “The shower has come a bit too late,” said Sandeep Mukherjee, the secretary of Darjeeling Tea Association. The Darjeeling planters usually rely on rain around Christmas but there was no shower during the winter this year. 大吉领的茶农们说这些雨实在来的有些晚了。大吉领红茶工会秘书Sandeep Mukherjee表示：「这雨来的有点太晚了。」这里的茶农通常依赖圣诞节前後的 雨水，但今年冬天却没有任何降雨。 The dry weather has stemmed the growth of first flush, which usually fetches the highest price at auctions. “We have suffered heavy losses this year, but we cannot provide a comprehensive figure unless the first flush season is over,” said Mukherjee. Plucking for the first flush has already started and it generally carries on till April end. 这乾燥的气候使得初摘的苞芽生长的不顺利，而此初摘茶通常是拍卖会上售价最 (first flush) 高的茶品。Mukherjee表示，「我们今年蒙受了极重的损失，但除非初摘的期限 过去，否则我们无法计算出准确的金额。」目前苞芽的采摘工作已经展开，通常 会持续到四月底为止。 While the rain has brought little relief to the planters, the Darjeeling Municipality, too, said the short spell would not help them much. “We need more rain. Anyway, we had started making preparations to distribute potable water through trucks and jeeps from next week. We have already approached the DGHC to provide us with Rs 40 lakh (40,000 rupees) for water distribution,” said Pemba Tshering Ola, the chairman of the civic body. 当降雨为茶农稍稍解围，大吉领政府表示，这短暂的雨量实在帮助不大。「我们 需要更多的雨量。但不论如何，我们已经开始筹备用卡车与吉普车配给饮用水的 相关工作。我们已经向DGHC接洽申请大约40000卢比的配给用水补助。」市议 会主席Pemba Tshering Ola表示。 The two lakes in Senchel that supply water to Darjeeling are bone dry. While the South Lake has absolutely no water in store, the North Lake has only about eight feet of water against the normal storage of 12 feet. Most of the 25 streams that feed water to these two lakes are running dry. 在Senchel的两个湖（为Darjeeling水源地）已经乾了。位於南边的湖是毫无蓄 水可言；而北边的湖相较於平日有12尺深的储水量，如今只剩下大约八尺深。 虽然此二湖的集水区有25条溪流，但如今大部分都已枯竭。 “If we have a good shower for a couple of days, the streams will start flowing again. But short spells like that of today will not help,” said a municipal worker who is associated with the distribution. 「如果我们能有几天好好下些阵雨，那麽这些溪流就会再度开始流动。否则像今 天这样的毛毛细雨则是一点助益都没有。」一个配水工人如此表示。 The Indian Meteorological Department has said on its website that a disturbance has developed over Jammu and Kashmir, while another was forming over western Uttar Pradesh. With clouds still moving over the region, there is hope for more rains in Darjeeling. 印度气象局表示，在他们的网站上已列出配水的区域分布图，其中从Jammu和 Kashmir已经开始配给用水，而Uttar Pradesh西部也正在筹备当中。至於大吉领 地区，凭着仍在区域上方移动的云层，民众仍然引颈期盼着。 -- 写报告写到翻桌，於是来这献丑了>///< 先自首：有很多专有名词实在不太了解也没详查文献就先大胆的写下 还有其他未尽详实之处，也请各位先进多多指教～ --
