MEXICO CITY, Jan. 22 President Vicente Fox declared a state of emergency today in Colima, a coastal state hit overnight by a powerful earthquake that rolled across central Mexico from the Pacific Ocean, killing at least 29 people and rattling millions of Mexico City residents.
「参考译文」
墨西哥地震死亡人数已达２９人，该国领导人宣布实行紧急状态
墨西哥城，１月２２日：总统文森特.福克斯今日宣布科利马州实行紧急状态，该州位于沿海地区，于当晚被一次发生在太平洋（海底）的强烈地震袭击。这次地震迅速通过墨西哥中部，造成至少２９人死亡，并使数百万的墨西哥城居民陷入恐慌。
补充提示：最后一句中，rattle在这里是“使慌乱；使不安”的意思。
「精解」
本则新闻是有关地震的报导。标题中省略了谓语，完整的句子是 The earthquake toll in Mexico has now risen to 29. 而emergency是a state of emergency（紧急状态）的省略。
在此，笔者想借此机会介绍一下围绕地震的有关英语知识。首先，关于地震，可以说earthquake,quake,shake,以及shock, tremor,temblor （or tremblor）最后一词用于美语中。地震的“震中”，称为epicentre, 此外这个词还可用于比喻义，如：
Far from the epicentre of power in Bangkok, grass-roots governance is beginning to flourish. 在远离曼谷权力中心的地方，平民治理方式正开始盛行。
震后的“余震”叫做aftershock, 既易懂又好记，是不是？地震的强度（magnitude ）一般按照里氏震级（Richter Scale）划分，它是将震级范围从1到10的一种对数标度，用以表现地震放出的能量总数，是根据美国地震学家Charles Francis Richter 命名的。下面请看两个例子：
The Seismology Research Centre says the earthquake measured 3.8 on the Richter Scale with an epicentre about 80 kilometres south-west of Sydney. 地震研究中心称这次地震的震级为里氏3.8级，震中位于悉尼西南80公里处。
The tremor was placed at 5.6 on the Ricther scale. 地震的震级被测定为里氏5.6级。
那么，发生了地震，该如何说呢？地震多属于突发事件，来势猛烈，去的也快，因此，英语中描述地震的动词也多具有这样的特点。本文中第一段用了hit 和roll across两个词。roll,表示“波动起伏地前进”。在接下的文字中，还用了strike, 原文是这样说的：The quake struck at 8:07 p.m. 此外，还可以用 shake, jolt, rock, rip through（迅速或猛烈地移动）等等。请看下面：
It took only minutes on Saturday June 23rd for a powerful 8.1 earthquake to rip through southern Peru,……在六月二十三日星期六，一次强烈的8.1级地震只用了几分钟时间就波及秘鲁南部（全境）……（秘鲁的国土以狭长著称）
地震之所以可怕，除了其来势迅猛，猝不及防外，还因为它往往破坏力惊人。英语中，描述其破坏力的词，按由轻到重的次序大致有damage, destroy, shatter, devastate, level, flatten等等。我们来看一个破坏严重的例子：
The quake leveled entire towns, flattening the simple adobe, brick structures and leaving nothing but rubble. 地震夷平了整个城镇，摧毁了简易土坯房和砖结构建筑，在受灾区只留下一片废墟。
今天暂时到这里，下次继续和大家聊有关地震的话题。
［精解］
让我们继续上次有关地震的话题。大地震总要造成人员伤亡。如何表述地震中的人员伤亡呢？象本则新闻标题那样用toll 这个词,是一种常见的说法。此外，还有许多其他方式，比如claim, 例如：
The quake has claimed more than 15,000 lives.
当然也可以这样平实地说：
At least 64 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured in the quake.
也可以以数字作主语：
The largest number of deaths appeared to be in a neighborhood called Las Colinas in Santa Tecla.
发生地震后，就要立即展开营救行动（rescue effort）以及救济工作（relief）. 在营救现场，会有crane（吊车）, bulldozer（推土机），truck（卡车）等大型机械在工作，但由于还有生死不明的人被埋在废墟下面，为避免伤及可能的幸存者，人们往往只能用铁锹（spade），撬棒（crowbar），甚至徒手（bare hands）来搜救幸存者，如果条件好会有救援犬（rescue dog）的协助。请看例句：
Relief crews were clawing through debris to rescue potential survivors with their bare hands and small tools.
震后幸存下来的人是幸运的，可是他们还要面临如何解决食物（food）、清洁饮水（purefied water）、御寒衣物（clothings and blankets）和临时住所（temporary shelters），药品（medicine）等棘手问题，这些也是救灾工作的重点。请看下面句子：
International organizations have also rushed relief supplies and medical personnel to Gujarat.
国际组织已将救援物资和医务人员火速运往古吉拉特邦。
Aid continues to pour into the devastated country.
救灾物资继续源源不断涌入受灾国。
与此同时，医护人员（medical staff）还要在灾区建立临时医院（converted hospital）或临时门诊部（improvised out-patient department）来救护伤员。当然还要有警察来维持秩序（law and order）以及专家来调查评估（survey, assess）地震造成的损失（damage,loss）。
最终，经过几天的营救工作后，工作的重点要由救援（rescue）过渡（shift to）到恢复和重建（rehabilitation and reconstruction）上来。例如：
Since May, UNICEF（United Nations Children's Emergency Fund ） has shifted its focus from relief to rehabilitation in earthquake-affected areas.
自五月以来，联合国儿童基金会已将在地震灾区的工作重点由救援转向恢复重建上来。
以上是对于有关地震的英语常识的简要介绍，当然这只是其中一小部分，更多的内容需要大家在日常通过大量的阅读来积累，我所做的仅仅是为了抛砖引玉而已。

关于地震的英语作文翻译
关于地震的英语作文翻译 Earthquakes may take place anywhere on the earth’s surface. During all earth quake, the vibrations make the earth's surface tremble, and even crack open. Houses fall, people are killed or injured and sometimes whole cities are destroyed. Can we do something to protect ourselves against earthquakes? Can we take precautionary measures? We can. Scientists have made investigation on earthquakes. They have made maps showing the "earthquake belts". In areas along these belts, earthquakes are likely to occur. In these areas we can build special houses to resist earthquake shocks and protect ourselves. in the future, scientists will be able to predict exactly when and where earthquakes will take place. Then they will be able to tell people to take precautionary measures. Thus lives can he saved and damage can be lessened. 地震 地震可能发生在地球表面的任何地方。地震时，震动使地表颤动甚至裂开。房屋坍塌，人员伤亡，有时整座城市变为废墟。 我们能够采取措施保护自己免遭地震伤害吗?能采取预防措施吗? 能。科学家们对地球实行了调查研究。他们绘制地图标出了“地震带”。沿着这些地震带可能有地震发生。在这些地震区，我们能够修建特殊房屋来抗震和保护自己。将来，科学家们将能准确的预报地震将在什么时候和什么地方发生。然后他们会告诉人们采取预防措施。如此，生命能够得到拯救，损失能够减轻。
英语新闻报道写作的主要技巧
英语新闻报道写作的主要技巧 新闻报道的结构一般分为四个部分：（一）标题、（二）导语、（三）主体、（四）结语。 标题是新闻的题目，是编辑对最有新闻价值内容的浓缩、概括、提炼和再创造。撰写标题是为了撷取新闻要点、诠释新闻意义、吸引读者阅读。在今天繁忙的现代社会中，报纸的读者大多是标题浏览者。导语是消息开头的第一段或第一句话，它扼要地揭示出消息的核心内容。主体是消息的主要部分，它用充足的事实表现主题，是对导语内容的进一步开展和阐释。新闻报道的结语一般是最后一句话或者一段话，通常对全文内容作概括性的总结，或对新闻事件的发展趋势作出预测。有时，作者根据报道的事实在结语中提出令人深思的问题。 一般来说，标题、导语和主体是构成新闻报道的必不可少的三部分。可根据新闻报道的内容而确定是否要结语或其它内容（如事件和历史背景等），有时，还可将它们暗含在主体中。 在写新闻报道时，首先要注意新闻的标题具有语言幽默风趣的特点，有较强的吸引力。同时，写作依据的材料要充分，要用事实来说话，语言力求简洁。最后，报道中要有亮点，能引人深思或能让人产生强烈的兴趣。 请阅读下面一则关于刘翔获得奥运金牌的体育报道,并试着找出这则新闻报道的标题、导语和主体：
Liu Xiang：Dark Horse in the Athens Olympics Liu Xiang , born on July 13, 1983 in Shanghai, China, is a Chinese hurdling athlete. In 2002, Liu launched his career in fine style by winning the first IAAF (国际业余田径联合会) Grand Prix in Lausanne with a world youth and Asian record time of 13.12 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles. He has since made the finals at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics and IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics. Two of the three cases has seen American hurdling great Allen Johnson take the major prize, but in the last in May at Osaka, Liu managed to beat Johnson with an Asian-record time of 13.2014 seconds. Still young, Liu has improved steadily, and won a gold medal at the 2014 Summer Olympics in the 110 meters hurdles event. In the final, he equaled the world record of 12.91 seconds held since 1993 by Colin Jackson of Wales. This is the first time an athlete of non-African descent (后裔) has dipped under 13 seconds for the 110 meter hurdles.
中日灾难报道的差异
【摘要】在3月11日本特大地震发生后，日本媒体的表现得到了世界的赞许与肯定。在这一类灾难新闻中，对比国内的媒体报道，日本媒体在报道的采访、内容、导向性上有着许多值得国内媒体学习的地方，中国的媒体在对于特大自然灾害的报道中需要对自己报道的标准、方法进行不断改进。 【关键词】灾难事件中日媒体新闻报道 近年来，世界各地频发地震等自然灾害。中国媒体在这类事件的报道上投入的力度也越来越大。但纵观这几年的灾难报道，中国媒体由于缺乏经验，在报道的方法上还有很多不成熟的地方。与中国相邻的日本是一个自然灾难频发的国家，在灾难新闻的报道上有着许多可供我们借鉴的经验。对比中国的汶川地震和日本最近发生的“3?11”特大地震的新闻报道，可以发现中国媒体对灾难事件的报道有得得改进的地方。 一、中日媒体在灾难事件采访上的差别 首先，在对比地震中采访对象的选择上，中国的媒体比较喜欢采访地震中的受灾群众，希望能够从他们的口中获得关于地震发生时的情况以及他们现在的情况。从专业的角度来看，这些受难群众是地震灾难的当事人，在他们身上必定具有许多有价值的新闻，但为了尽快获得这些新闻，中国的一些记者在对于采访时机的把握上通常显得不够慎重。在汶川地震中我们可以见到像这样的情况：被埋者在废墟中奄奄一息，记者却要求暂停营救，先行采访，并阻止救援人员搬开悬挂在被埋者上方摇摇欲坠的天花板；在地震灾区临时医院里，医生正准备给伤员动手术，记者在没有消毒的情况下强行进入并要求采访，导致医疗设备被污染，类似的情况并不是个案，在一些极端案例中，由于媒体的不当采访，间接导致了被采访者的死亡。 与之相对应的日本媒体，在“3?11”大地震中，日本媒体也会将采访的镜头对准灾民，但在采访的时机上，普遍遵循了不得干扰救援工作进行的原则。对于在废墟下进行的救援过程，日本媒体也会采取直播，但在其过程中，不会采访任何救援队员，因为担心影响救援进度，也不采访受害者家属，因为此时他们已痛苦万分，日本媒体认为任何强行采访在此时都只会给家属徒增伤痛。浏览日本关于地震的新闻，可以发现那些对惊魂未定的灾民进行采访的新闻很少，电视台的记者一般安静地拍下他们和生还的亲人、朋友拥抱或者沉默的情景。在采访时机的选择上，除了不干扰地震救援人员的工作之外，日本的媒体也非常注意灾民的心理情绪是否适合接受采访，避免由于自己的采访对其心理造成二次伤害。 除了选择采访对象与采访时机之外，记者在采访中的提问方式也表现出其职业素养。在汶川地震中，中国的一些媒体为了获取信息或在报道中突出某种目的，常常对采访对象采取“侵扰悲痛”式的采访，这种采访如果方式不当，就会对被访对象造成很大伤害，某电视台对女警蒋敏的采访就属于这一例子。 而日本媒体在面对这种可能会“侵扰悲痛”的采访时则表现出来了更多的人文关怀，提问的内容通常也只是点到即止，绝对不会对受灾群众进行任何的追问。例如，一名主持人在采访一位灾民时，问到他“你的家人找到了吗？”当得到没有的答案时，主持人安慰他“请加油。”①短短的几句话中，已经传递出了很多的内容，而主持人此时并没有再继续追问他更多的关于其家人的情况。这种采访虽然比较短，但并不煽情、也不会侵害到被采访者的个人情感和尊严。总结日本媒体在地震灾难中的采访，其角度和语气都显得比较平和，话语中充满了人情味，采访的过程就是对灾民的一次安慰。 二、新闻图片的搜集、新闻素材的选取上的差别 中国媒体所选用的新闻图片通常喜欢将镜头对准受伤的灾民甚至是遇难者，一些报纸还将这种照片作为头版新闻图片来使用，为的是突出新闻图片的视觉冲击力和影响力，但有可

英语作文 日本地震
All of those broken bones in northern Japan, all of those broken lives and those broken homes prompt us to remember what in calmer times we are invariably minded to forget: the most stern and chilling of mantras, which holds, quite simply, that mankind inhabits this earth subject to geological consent—which can be withdrawn at any time. For hundreds, maybe for thousands of people, this consent was withdrawn with shocking suddenness—all geological events are sudden, and all are unexpected if not necessarily entirely unanticipated—at 2:46 on this past clear, cool spring Friday afternoon. One moment all were going about their quotidian business—in offices, on trains, in rice fields, in stores, in schools, in warehouses, in shrines—and then the ground began to shake. At first, the shock was merely a much stronger and longer version of the temblors to which most Japanese are well accustomed. There came a stunned silence, as there always does. But then, the difference: a few minutes later a low rumble from the east, and in a horrifying replay of the Indian Ocean tragedy of just some six years before, the imagery of which is still hauntingly in all the world’s mind, the coastal waters off the northern Honshu vanished, sucked mysteriously out to sea. The rumbling continued, people then began to spy a ragged white line on the horizon, and, with unimaginable ferocity, the line became visible as a wall of waves sweeping back inshore at immense speed and at great height. Just seconds later and these Pacific Ocean waters hit the Japanese seawalls, surmounted them with careless ease, and began to claw across the land beyond in what would become a dispassionate and detached orgy of utter destruction. We all now know, and have for 50 years, that geography is the ultimate reason behind the disaster. Japan is at the junction of a web of tectonic-plate boundaries that make it more peculiarly vulnerable to ground-shaking episodes than almost anywhere else—and it is a measure of Japanese engineering ingenuity, of social cohesion, of the ready acceptance of authority and the imposition of necessary discipline that allows so many to survive these all-too-frequent displays of tectonic power. But geography is not the only factor in this particular and acutely dreadful event. Topography played an especially tragic role in the story, too—for it is an axiom known to all those who dwell by high-tsunami-risk coastlines that when the sea sucks back, you run: you run inland and, if at all possible, you run uphill. But in this corner of northeast Japan, with its wide plains of rice meadows and ideal factory sites and conveniently flat airport locations, there may well be a great deal of inland—but there is almost no uphill. Such mountains as exist are far away, blue and distant in the west. All here is coastal plain. And so the reality is this: if a monstrous wave is chasing you inland at the speed of a jetliner, and if the flat topography all around denies you any chance of sprinting to a hilltop to try to escape its wrath, then you can make no mistake—it will catch you, it will drown you, and its forces will pulverize you out of all recognition as a thing of utter insignificance, which of course, to a tsunami, all men and women and their creations necessarily must be. 所有这些骨折在日本北部,所有这些破碎的生活和那些破碎的家庭促使我们希望记住在平静
