In fact, scientists estimate that another supereruption might not happen for another few million years or so.

实际上，科学家预计另一场超级火山喷发，在接下来的数百万年或许并不会发生。

It is estimated that one of the few volcanoes capable of supereruptions on Earth could cause a catastrophic eruption every 17,000 years on average.

我们预估地球上其中一座能超级喷发的火山平均需要一万七千年的时间才会造成灾难性的爆发。

Even worse, cooling the rock could create fractures near the magma chamber, which might trigger a supereruption, the very thing we're trying to avoid in the first place.

更糟糕的是，冷却岩石将令岩浆室周围产生碎裂，而这可能会引起超级火山喷发，而这恰恰正是我们当初想避免的。

Under this caldera, pressure starts building again until the volcano gathers enough energy for another supereruption – but this could take hundreds of thousands of years.

在这破火山口下方压力再次开始积聚，直到火山集结足够的能量发生下一次超级爆发，但这可能需要数十万年的时间。
