2019 was Australia's hottest and driest year on record and the bush fire itself is likely to stretch water resources even further.

There's good reason to think that damage could get even worse because even though huge areas have been burnt out, there are still plenty of tinder-dry places that could go up between now and the end of the bush fire season.
我們有充分的理由認為，火災(zāi)造成的破壞可能會變得更嚴重，因為盡管大片地區(qū)已經(jīng)被燒毀，但從現(xiàn)在到林火季節(jié)結(jié)束，仍有大量的干燥易燃地區(qū)可能會失火。
