It all happened too quickly and they didn't have enough resources to relocate all the books, the employees said.然而，洪水在一小时内淹没了一楼，员工们急忙跑到四楼避难。员工们说，这一切发生得太快，他们没有足够的资源来转移所有书籍。At around 9 pm on Tuesday, the company sent out messages seeking help. By 9 am on Wednesday, rescuers found all employees who were trapped in the warehouse and evacuated them to safety.当日晚9点左右，公司发出了求助信息。次日上午9点，救援人员找到了所有被困在仓库中的员工，并将他们疏散到安全地带。Netizens, who helped organize the rescue, sent words of encouragement to the company. Many ordered more books, gift cards and other items to extend their support.帮助组织营救的网民向公司发出了鼓励的话语。许多人订购了更多的书籍、礼品卡和其他物品，以表达他们的支持。"I have bought many books on your website, some of which saved me. ... It is time for me to rescue you," said one Weibo user.“我在你们的网站上买了很多书，其中一些救了我......。现在是我拯救你们的时候了，”一位微博用户说。Another user wrote, "Those who survive big disasters are blessed with good fortune afterward."另一位用户写道，“大难不死，必有后福。”The company, which mentioned in a statement that the books at its Zhuo­zhou warehouse were almost its "entire stock", said it will not sell the damaged and contaminated books as it valued its readers' safety more.该公司在一份声明中提到，涿州仓库的图书几乎是其“全部库存”，并表示不会出售这些受损和受污染的图书，因为该公司更看重读者的安全。"We have lost many out-of-print books," the company said in another post. "Many of our previous online orders cannot be delivered. After the flood recedes, we will check how many books can still be sold."“我们损失了不可复制、不会加印的稀缺、绝版、老版书”，该公司在另一篇帖子中说。“仍无法保证目前在售图书都能正常配货。等洪灾过去，我们重整库房，重新调货。”Deeply moved by the kind gestures of social media users, the company said, "Your support gives us the confidence to overcome this difficult period."该公司被社交媒体用户的善举深深感动，它写道：“大家的支持，给了我们很大的信心渡过这次难关。”BooksChina.com needs three to four weeks to go over pending online orders, and will call or send text messages to clients whose orders cannot be delivered, the company said, adding that they will be refunded.中图网表示，“未发货、未处理的订单，请多给我们一些时间（预计3到4周），急需用书的读者可先取消订单。”并将致电或发送短信给无法交付订单的客户，并补充说他们将获得退款。Warehouse英/ˈweəhaʊs/ 美/ˈwerhaʊs/n.仓库，货栈，货仓Destructive英/dɪˈstrʌktɪv/ 美/dɪˈstrʌktɪv/adj.破坏性的，毁灭性的
