【新闻趣读】伊拉克超市上演"火焰晚餐"惊魂夜——开业仅一周的购物中心突然变身"烧烤摊"，顾客们正吃着火锅唱着歌，下一秒就和购物车一起"火"了！当地官员痛心表示："这是场灾难性的悲剧"，而消防员们则忙着在五层楼高的"火焰山"里玩真人版"绝地求生"。最讽刺的是，这已经是伊拉克三年来第三起重大火灾，网友吐槽："这里的建筑标准比纸糊的还脆弱，建议改名叫'易燃易爆国'！"（遇难者家属：说好的48小时出调查结果呢？我们要的不是速度，是安全啊！）

（翻译策略说明：
1. 保留"Wasit"等专有地名原名
2."sandwich panel"译为专业术语"夹芯板"
3. 使用"火焰山"等形象化表述增强画面感
4. 机构名称如"INA"保留英文缩写并标注全称
5. 政府职位如"governor"统一译为"省长"
6. 时间表述强调"48小时内"突出紧迫性）
