小编选了BBC和CRI相关英文报道,一起学习,一起为震区加油!
看英文报道,掌握震中、震级和震源深度等基本表达~~
The earthquake
jolted
Jiuzhaigou County at 9:19 p.m. Tuesday, and the epicenter was monitored at 33.2 degrees north latitude and 103.82 degrees east longitude. The quake
struck
at a depth of 20 km, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center.
震中的英文是epicenter;north latitude意思是北纬;east longitude是东经。
震源深度的英文是:the quake struck at a depth of 20km,还能怎么说呢?我们看看BBC的英文报道:
Sichuan province is prone to earthquakes
.
More than 70,000 people were killed in a quake there in 2008.
The quake struck at around 21:20 (13:20 GMT) about 300km (180 miles) north of the provincial capital Chengdu, and
was 20km deep
.
英文中"The quake was 20km deep
"意思就是震源深度20公里;provincial capital意思是省会。
现在来做测试题:
如果说某地发生地震,其动词"发生"除了用jolt和strike,还可以用hit
,看例句:
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake
hit
southwest China's Sichuan Province.
震级的英文是magnitude。
国内报道说,此次地震成都和西安震感强烈,这句话用英文如何说呢?
Shaking was felt in Chengdu and in Xian, some 700km (430 miles) away.
目前的地震灾区人员伤亡情况是怎样的呢?一起看下文:
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has killed at least 13 people and injured scores more in China's south-western province of Sichuan.
灾难发生时,通常都会报道人员伤亡最新情况,即:已造成...人死亡,多人受伤,英文句式为:灾难+has killed ....people and injured scores more in+地区;如果表示"已造成...人死亡,...人受伤",句型则是:灾难+has left...people killed and....people injured。
通讯和电力中断,房屋受损,我们看英文报道:
Communications lines and electricity are disrupted and people are no doubt shocked and scared.
Photos showed damage to buildings, including a hotel, in Jiuzhaigou, home to one of China's most famous nature reserves and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
经过昼夜抢修,通讯和电力现已基本恢复。
地震发生后,党中央和国务院高度重视,做出批示:
Chinese president has called for
all-out efforts to
rapidly organize relief work and rescue the injured people after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake hit southwest China's Sichuan Province.
Authorities should check the impact of the earthquake, evacuate and settle visitors and local people, and reduce death and injuries as much as possible.
大意是:要求抓紧了解核实九寨沟7.0级地震灾情,迅速组织力量救灾,全力以赴抢救伤员,疏散安置好游客和受灾群众,最大限度减少人员伤亡。
其中全力以赴组织力量救灾,还可以说:"
go all out in relief and monitoring work"。
As the earthquake took place during the flood period and tourism season, authorities should enhance meteorological early warning and geological monitoring to guard against other disasters and try their best to protect people's lives and property.
