n eerie photograph of ash cloud formations around the erupting Mayon Volcano in the Philippines which appears to resemble two people embracing has triggered a viral online debate over whether it is a new representation of an ancient myth.

一张在菲律宾的马荣火山爆发时形成的奇异的火山灰云照片，引发了一场病毒式的网络辩论，它（灰云）看起来就像是深情拥抱着的两个人，争论的焦点是：这是否是一个古老神话的新再现。

Locals say the formation - photographed by Bro. Jun Santiago - bears an uncanny similarity to the ancient and tragic tale of the demise of a woman called Magayon (beautiful) who ran away with her warrior lover to escape an unwanted suitor. 

据当地人说——这张照片是Bro. Jun Santiago拍摄的——这与一古老的悲剧传说有着惊人的相似之处，一个已逝的名为Magayon(美丽)的女人，为逃离一个她讨厌的追求者与她的战士情人私奔了。

When her lover is shot and killed by an arrow as the couple try to flee her father and tribesmen she commits suicide by stabbing herself. 

这对恋人试图逃离她的父亲和部落成员，但当她的爱人被箭射中身亡时，她也用箭刺穿自杀了。



Legend has it that several years after they died their burial ground began to assume the shape of a volcano which people named Mayon in honour of the broken-hearted lover. 

传说在他们死后的几年里，他们的墓地开始呈现出一座火山的形状，人们把它命名为马荣火山，以纪念这对心碎的爱人。

【The Legend of Mount Mayon
The legend tells of a beautiful princess named Magayon who fell in love with Panganoron who had saved her from drowning. Paratuga whom she rejected forced her father and demanded her hand in marriage as ransom.The wedding ceremony was already being performed when Panganoron arrived at the village of Paratuga. Upon seeing him Magayon rushed towards him but was hit by a stray arrow. As he lifted her body somebody attacked him from behind. They both died.The lovers were buried by Magayon’s father together with all her earthly possessions including the gold pearls and diamonds which had been given by Paratuga as wedding gifts. The burial mound kept rising higher and higher until it became a volcano with a perfect cone.】

【马荣火山的传说
传说中有一位美丽的公主，名叫Magayon，她爱上了一位曾经在她溺水时救过她的人，Panganoron。Paratuga向Magayon求婚，但被她拒绝了，于是他强迫劫持她的父亲并要求她与他结婚作为赎金。当Panganoron赶到Paratuga的村庄时，婚礼仪式已经开始了。Magayon一见到他，就向他冲过去，但被一支流箭射中了。当Panganoron（抱）起她时，有人从后面袭击了他。最后他们两人都死了。这对恋人被Magayon的父亲埋葬，连同她在人世间的所有财产，包括黄金、珍珠和钻石，这些都是由Paratuga作为结婚礼物赠送的。埋葬二人的坟地土丘不断地升高，直到它变成了一个有着完美圆锥体的火山。】

Another explanation for the unusual cloud formation is that it looks like Mary supporting Jesus Christ News.abs-cbn.com reported.  

另一个解释是这不寻常灰云的样子像极了相互扶持的耶稣和玛丽·抹大拉夫妇，abc-cbn报道（菲律宾本地最大的无线电视台）。

Some social media users however offered an altogether more prosaic explanation for the unusual cloud. They said it was a sign that people living within the vicinity of the volcano should immediately evacuate the area ahead of an even bigger eruption. 

然而，一些社交媒体用户却对这种不寻常的云提供了一种更为无聊的解释。他们说，这是一个表明将发生一场更大的火山爆发，居住在火山附近的人们应该立即撤离该地区的迹象。



Mt Mayon (8077 ft) is located in the central Philippines about 210 miles south-east of Manila. It is the country's largest and most populous island.

位于菲律宾中部的马荣火山(8077英尺高)，距离马尼拉东南约210英里。它是该国最大且人口最多的岛屿。





The mountain is renowned for its 'perfect cone' because of its symmetrical and conical shape. 

这座山因为其对称的圆锥形状如“完美的圆锥体”而出名。

It is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines erupting twice last weekend with further major eruptions and tremors imminently feared as magma continues to pile up on its summit.

它是菲律宾最活跃的火山之一，上周末喷发了两次，随着岩浆继续堆积在其顶峰，进一步的大规模喷发和地震迫在眉睫。

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology earlier this week increased the alert level for Mount Mayon to three on a scale of five indicating an increased prospect of a hazardous eruption 'within weeks or even days'.

本周早些时候，菲律宾火山学和地震学研究所提高了马荣火山的警戒级别至3级（共5级），这表明未来数周甚至数天内，危险喷发的可能性会增加。

Lava flowed at least half a mile down a gully from the crater on Monday morning and ash clouds appeared mid-slope as lava fragments rolled down said Renato Solidum who heads the volcano institute.

火山研究所的负责人雷纳托·索利杜姆（Renato Solidum）表示，周一早晨，熔岩从火山口至少喷出半英里，火山灰云出现在半坡上，熔岩碎片不断滚下来。

About 15000 people have already been evacuated with more expected to follow.   

大约有1.5万人已经撤离，预计会有更多的人撤离。

I usually dismiss these "lookalike" articles as lame but I have to agree that this one is quite accurate.

我通常不会相信那些“xx事物和xx如此相似”的文章的说法，因为那些毫无说服力，但我不得不说这次的解释相当准确。

Even if the photos are doctored they're still pretty impressive and to scale. Having a person in the foreground makes it even more stunning. I like it.

即使这些照片有经过加工的，它们依然令人印象深刻。有张照片里右下角处还抓拍到了一个路人使这奇景更让人叹为观止，我喜欢。

Obviously the volcanoe has erupted before and created the SAME clouds probably due to wind direction....and someone drew an image from it...

显然，火山之前有喷发过，可能是由于风向的原因造成了这些云（与之前有相同）的形状，然后有人根据这画了一幅图。

Religion you could not make it up but hey the deluders will always delude the deluded and get paid for doing it.

宗教，你没法解释（出现这种奇观）的原因，但是，骗子总是会欺骗那些易被骗的人，并因此而得到报酬。

Such photographs are only momentary - it may have looked jut like a formless ash cloud with no implied meaning seconds earlier or later.

这类照片拍摄到的只是一瞬间的现象——在这瞬间的几秒前和几秒后，它也可能看起来是一团没有任何暗示意义的形状不明的灰尘云。
