RYOさん ご質問どうもありがとうございます。 様々な表現があると思いますが、いくつか自然な表現を紹介します。 1. Due to the torrential rain our house was flooded, and the water reached a level of up to 2m.(注意: our house was flooded = 私たちの家が浸水されているという状況を示すのです) 2. Due to the torrential rain houses were flooded, and the water reached a level of up to 2m. (注意: houses were flooded = 一般的な発言。人の家が浸水されているという状況を示すのです) --- due to = のせいで --- flooded = 浸水される お好みに合わせて使い分けてみてください。 ご参考にしていただければ幸いです。

  • Flood waters reached 2m high in our home during the heavy rain last month in Western Japan.

  • Our house was flooded with 2m of water in the heavy rain last month.

「豪雨で家が浸水し、水位が2mにまで達した」= Because of the heavy rain (in Western Japan last month) our house was flooded and the water level reached 2m high. / Flood waters reached 2m high in our home during the heavy rain last month in Western Japan. / Our house was flooded with 2m of water in the heavy rain last month. ボキャブラリー heavy rain = 豪雨 flooded = 浸水した water level = 水位 reached = 達した house, home = 家 Western Japan = 西日本 last month = 先月
