南米のチリで季節外れの雨のため砂漠に突然、“お花畑”が出現しました。　
Due to unseasonal rain in Chile, South America, a "flower garden" suddenly appeared in the middle of the desert.
南米チリのアタカマ砂漠で季節外れの雨が続き、真冬にもかかわらず白や紫色の花が一斉に咲きました。　
Unseasonal rain continues in the Atacama Desert in Chile, South America, and white and purple flowers bloom in unison, even in the middle of winter.
アタカマ砂漠は標高約2000メートルで地球上で最も降水量が少ない地域として知られ、冬に花が咲くことは滅多にないということです。　
At an altitude of about 2,000 meters, the Atacama Desert is known as the area with the lowest rainfall on earth, which means flowers rarely bloom in winter.
アタカマ砂漠は数年に一度、春の季節性の大雨で乾燥に強い200種類もの種や球根が一斉に開花することから「砂漠の花畑」として有名です。　
The Atacama Desert is famous as the “Desert Flower Field” because every few years, 200 varieties of drought-resistant seeds and bulbs bloom at the same time during heavy seasonal rains in the spring.
生物の専門家は「今回、花が咲いた地域は限定的で、偶然が重なったための現象で『砂漠の花畑』が始まったとは言い切れない」としています。　
A biological expert said: "This time the flowers bloomed in a limited area, so it cannot be said that the "desert flower garden" was born due to a combination of coincidences."
ただ、「数週間のうちに再び雨が降る予報もあり、今後の開花を注視していきたい」と話しています。
However, he added, “Rain is forecast for a few more weeks, so we will keep a close eye on when the flowers bloom.”
