（单词翻译）

 This is the first time that we have these large amounts of sculpture that are damaged. And it is a bit disconcerting to me and my colleagues who are stone carvers, but we're gonna put this together, back together the right way and respect the work of our forefathers1, of our forbearers, the stone carvers and masons who came before us. A price, gonna be millions, no doubt about it.

 
Well, I was in the coming-down east slope, was going to west delivering my high school, junior high and I noticed some smoke coming out of the cover like turn signal covered by the steering2 wheel. I thought "Man, there's something wrong here." And I'm coming around the corner. And I shut, you know, shut the key off and then poof, the flames come up under the engine compartment3 onto the windshield and I knew we was in deep trouble. And yes, I said that we get off this bus now. We evacuate4 now.
