美國在 2025 年 7 月 4 日舉辦了一場盛大慶祝活動。人們以煙火和遊行慶祝獨立 250 週年。

Bad weather caused problems. In Washington, D.C., there were big storms. People had to leave the National Mall for safety. President Trump still gave a speech and watched fireworks.

惡劣天氣造成了問題。在華盛頓特區，發生了強烈風暴。人們為了安全而不得不離開國家廣場。川普總統依然發表了演講並觀賞了煙火。

In New York City, there were small fires on the Brooklyn Bridge. The fire department put out the fires quickly. The bridge was safe and did not break.

在紐約市，布魯克林大橋發生了小型火災。消防局迅速將火撲滅。橋樑很安全，沒有損壞。

Other towns had parties too. In Michigan, a team made a safe fireworks show. In Virginia, athletes walked in a parade. Some cities were very hot, so people gave out water.

其他城鎮也舉行了慶祝活動。在密西根州，一個團隊打造了一場安全的煙火秀。在維吉尼亞州，運動員們參與了遊行。部分城市氣溫極高，因此人們發放了飲用水。

There was bad weather and some small fires. But most people finished the celebrations.

雖然有惡劣天氣和一些小型火災，但大多數人還是完成了慶祝活動。

The United States celebrated its 250th anniversary of independence on July 4, 2025, with large fireworks displays and public events in many different cities.

美國於2025年7月4日慶祝獨立250週年，在許多不同的城市舉行了大規模的煙火表演與公共活動。

The celebrations faced several logistical problems caused by bad weather. In Washington, D.C., severe thunderstorms forced the National Park Service, the Secret Service, and FEMA to evacuate the National Mall temporarily. Despite these disruptions, President Donald Trump gave his planned speech and continued with the fireworks, emphasizing that the events would happen regardless of the weather. Similarly, several towns in Indiana and Oklahoma had to delay or reschedule their events to July 5 because of heavy rain and flooding.

慶典面臨了數個由惡劣天氣引起的物流問題。在華盛頓特區，強烈的雷暴迫使國家公園管理局、特勤局與聯邦緊急管理署（FEMA）暫時疏散國家廣場。儘管有這些干擾，川普總統仍發表了原定演說並繼續進行煙火表演，強調無論天氣如何活動都將照常舉行。同樣地，印第安那州與奧克拉荷馬州的幾個城鎮因為大雨與洪災，不得不將活動延遲或重新安排至7月5日。

In New York City, the Macy's Fourth of July show used over 85,000 fireworks, but the schedule was changed slightly to avoid weather risks. During the show, small fires broke out on the Brooklyn Bridge. The FDNY sent two fire engines to put out the flames, which officials later explained were caused by the fireworks platforms rather than the bridge itself. They stated that such incidents are expected during large displays and confirmed that the 143-year-old bridge remained safe.

在紐約市，梅西百貨的7月4日表演使用了超過85,000枚煙火，但時間表稍作調整以避免天氣風險。表演期間，布魯克林大橋發生了小型火災。紐約市消防局（FDNY）派遣兩輛消防車撲滅火勢，官員隨後解釋火災是由煙火平台引起，而非大橋本身。他們表示在大型表演中此類事件是在預料之內，並確認這座擁有143年歷史的大橋依然安全。

Other regional events had different levels of success. In Coldwater, Michigan, a team led by Rick Quilhot performed a 20-minute show following strict safety rules. Meanwhile, in Middletown, Virginia, the celebrations included a parade with current and former athletes from the Washington Commanders. Across the East Coast, health officials issued a 'Code Purple' air quality alert in the capital and heat warnings, which meant that water had to be distributed to the crowds.

其他地區性活動的成功程度不一。在密西根州的科德沃特，由Rick Quilhot率領的團隊在嚴格遵守安全規則的情況下，完成了20分鐘的表演。同時，在維吉尼亞州的米德爾敦，慶典包括一場有華盛頓指揮官隊現役與前運動員參與的遊行。在東岸各地，衛生官員在首都發布了「紫色代碼」空氣品質警報及高溫警告，這意味著必須向人群分發飲用水。

Although severe weather and minor accidents caused some local problems, most of the 250th-anniversary celebrations were successfully completed.

儘管惡劣天氣與輕微事故引起了一些局部問題，但大部分的250週年慶典均成功完成。

The United States marked its 250th anniversary of independence on July 4, 2025, with large-scale pyrotechnic displays and public festivities across multiple jurisdictions.

美國於2025年7月4日慶祝獨立250週年，在多個轄區舉行了大規模的煙火表演與公眾慶祝活動。

The commemorative events were characterized by significant logistical challenges stemming from adverse meteorological conditions. In Washington, D.C., severe thunderstorms necessitated a temporary evacuation of the National Mall, coordinated by the National Park Service, the Secret Service, and FEMA. Despite these disruptions, President Donald Trump proceeded with a scheduled address and subsequent pyrotechnic display, asserting that the events would occur regardless of the weather. Similarly, various municipalities in Indiana and Oklahoma experienced delays or the rescheduling of events to July 5 due to precipitation and flooding.

這些紀念活動由於氣象條件惡劣，在物流安排上面臨重大挑戰。在華盛頓特區，強烈雷暴導致國家廣場必須暫時疏散，由國家公園管理局、特勤局及聯邦緊急管理署 (FEMA) 協調。儘管如此，川普總統仍按計劃發表演說並隨後進行煙火表演，並堅稱無論天氣如何，活動都將照常舉行。

In New York City, the Macy's Fourth of July display—which utilized over 85,000 shells—was preceded by a temporal adjustment to mitigate weather risks. During the event, localized fires occurred on the Brooklyn Bridge. The Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) deployed two engines to extinguish the blazes, which were later attributed to pyrotechnic launch platforms rather than the bridge's primary structure. Officials stated that such incidents are anticipated during large-scale displays and that the 143-year-old structure remained sound.

同樣地，印第安那州與奧克拉荷馬州的許多市鎮，因降雨及淹水導致活動延遲或改至7月5日舉行。

Regional celebrations exhibited varying degrees of operational success. In Coldwater, Michigan, a pyrotechnic team led by Rick Quilhot executed a 20-minute display consisting of approximately 270 firing events, adhering to strict safety protocols regarding shell diameter and clearance zones. In Middletown, Virginia, the festivities included a parade featuring former and current professional athletes from the Washington Commanders. Throughout the East Coast, public health concerns were noted, including a 'Code Purple' air quality alert in the capital and extreme heat warnings that necessitated the distribution of water to attendees.

在紐約市，梅西百貨的7月4日表演使用了超過85,000枚煙火，事前進行了時間調整以降低天氣風險。活動期間，布魯克林大橋發生了局部火災。紐約市消防局 (FDNY) 部署兩輛消防車撲滅火勢，隨後判定火災是由煙火發射平台引起，而非大橋主體結構。官員表示，在如此大規模的表演中，此類事故在預料之中，而這座擁有143年歷史的結構依然穩固。

While severe weather and minor industrial accidents caused localized disruptions, the majority of the sestercentennial celebrations were completed.

雖然嚴重天氣與少數工業事故造成局部混亂，但大部分250週年慶祝活動均已完成。
