日本地震英语作文d

A horrible earthquake happened in japan.The enormous wave of ten meter height washed away all the coast area northwest of the country.

But what’s more is nuclear power station explosion.

Though a lot of countries including China have sent many rescues to help the Japanese,

but the Japanese are still in misery,for there’s many people killed in the earthquake.

A strong earthquake attacked Japan at 1:46pm. I was shocked when I heard about the bad news. Why there were so many disasters in the world?

I looked up some files about the top fourteen worst earthquakes in the past one hundred years from internet. And some earthquakes even came with tsunamis. It was said that 300 thousands of people died in 2004 as a result of the earthquake and tsunami happened in Indonesia. And 242 thousands of citizens died in Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 in China. Also in 2008, another big earthquake happened in China, and more than 7 thousands passed away.

How awful it is when we talk about these figures.

Everyone should cherish what we have now.

I felt scary when I watched 2012.

But the disasters happened are more fearful.

Dalian is not far away from Japan, my colleague told me that she would be too panic to go to bed tonight. It is funny.

I did not worry about that. No one can expect what will happen in the next minute. Just enjoy every minute in our life.

It is enough~

Deep Wounds of the Sichuan Quake

四川地震的深度创伤

Deep Wounds of the Sichuan Quake

One of the recurring themes from last year ’s earthquake in Sichuan is official corruption and the extent it contributed to the collapse of substandard schools, killing a still unknown number of children. Another, less discussed issue, is the degree to which

many local officials in the disaster zone were victims themselves.

自去年四川地震以来，一个反复出现的主题是关于政*官员的腐败，以及因之产生的未达标学校的倒塌，导致仍不知确切数字的孩子们的死亡。而很少论及的另一个问题，是灾区地方官员自己成为受害者的程度。 In Beichuan, where as many as 15,000 residents were killed, a quarter of the local officials also perished in the quake. Many of the survivors lost family members. When my colleague Lin Yang and photographer Ian Teh went back to Sichuan last fall, we met with a Beichuan official whose wife and daughter were both killed on May 12. Zhang Kangqi keeps a drawing of them, sketched from old ID photos, by his bed. All other mementos of them were buried in Beichuan. (You can see Ian’s photos of the recovery efforts, including a portrait of Zhang, in this gallery.)

在北川，多达15，000名居民死亡，四分之一的地方官员也在地震中死去。许多幸存者失去了家人。去年秋天，我和同事杨林和摄像郑永仁回到四川时，遇到一位北川官员，他的妻子和女儿都在5.12地震中死

亡。张康齐保存着从旧身份证的照片上临摹下来的一张她们的画像，放在床头。她们的其它所有遗物都被埋在北川下面了。（在这个画廊中，你可以看到郑永仁画的在关恢复工作的照片，其中包括一幅张的肖像。） Zhang immersed himself in recovery efforts, but not all his co-workers had the same capacity to work through their suffering. A few weeks before we visited Dong Yufei, another local official who lost his son, killed himself. “He was a good man, ” Zhang sa id of Yu, “but not everyone can handle the pressure. His child had died.”

张专注地做着恢复工作，但是，他的同事并不都具有同样的战胜痛苦的能力。在我们采访董玉飞之前几个星期，另一位失去儿子的地方官自杀了。“他是个好人，”张提到玉飞说，“不过，并不是每个人都能应付压力。他的孩子死了。”

Yesterday brought the grim news that another Beichuan official committed suicide. Feng Xiang, the vice director of the Beichuan publicity department, had lost his 7-year-old son in the quake. Shortly before his death Feng, 33, wrote a post on his blog titled “What If,”

urging his family not to grieve. “Son, when you left, your father did not have a future, did not have hope, did not have any expectations,” Feng wrote. “To be with you is my biggest joy.”

昨天，又传来一个无情的消息，另一位北川官员自杀了。北川宣传部副主任冯翔在地震中失去了七岁的儿子。33岁的冯翔死前不久在博客中以“假如”为题力劝家人不要悲伤。冯写道：“儿子，你离开了，爸爸没有了未来，没有了希望，没有了憧憬，与你相聚，是爸爸最大的快乐。”

Japan was struck by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday, shaking buildings in Tokyo for several minutes and prompting a tsunami warning.

周五，日本东北海岸发生了7.9级地震，东京房屋发生了几分钟的震动，并且引发了海啸警报。

Japan ’s meteorological agency warned that a tsunami as high as 20 feet (6 meters) could strike the coast near Miyagi prefecture, closest to the epicenter. Smaller tsunamis of up to 50 centimetres reached some coastal communities, the agency said.

日本气象局发出警报说一股20英尺(6米) 高的海啸

可能袭击离震中最近的宫城附近的海岸，另外一些较小的0.5米高的海啸到达了沿岸城市。

The quake struck at 2:46 p.m. local time at a depth of 10 kilometres, about 125 kilometres off the eastern coast, the meteorological agency said. The area is 380 kilometres northeast of Tokyo.

地震发生在当地时间周五下午2点46分，震源深度10公里，离东海岸大约125公里，在东京东北部380公里左右。

In downtown Tokyo, large buildings shook violently and workers poured into the street for safety. TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo.

在东京市中心，大厦发生了剧烈的摇晃，职工们都涌向街头逃难。电视镜头拍摄到东京台场地区一幢大楼起火冒烟的画面。

Police and coast guard officials said they were assessing possible damage from the quake.

警方和海岸警卫官员表示他们正在估测地震可能造成的破坏。

Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days,

including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.

最近几天这个地区已经发生了多场地震，包括周三的那场7.3级地震。

日本发生里氏8.9级强烈地震

编者按：日本东京发生强烈地震。建筑物摇晃。东京港附近台场区发生火灾。日本东北部新干线停运。日本太平洋海岸发生高度4米的海啸。美国地质勘探局11日将日本当天发生的地震震级修正为里氏8.9级。

Japan was struck by a magnitude-8.9 earthquake off its northeastern coast Friday, triggering a 13-foot (4-meter) tsunami that washed away cars and tore away buildings along the coast near the epicenter.

In various locations along Japan ’s coast, TV footage showed severe flooding, with dozens of cars, boats and even buildings being carried along by waters. A large ship swept away by the tsunami rammed directly into a breakwater in Kesennuma city in Miyagi prefecture, according to footage on public broadcaster NHK.

Officials were trying to assess possible damage from the quake but had no immediate details. The quake that struck 2:46 p.m. was followed by a series of aftershocks, including a 7.4-magnitude one about 30 minutes later. The U.S. Geological Survey upgraded the strength of the first quake to a magnitude

8.9.

The meteorological agency issued a tsunami warning for the entire Pacific coast of Japan. National broadcaster NHK was warning those near the coast to get to safer ground.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami warning was in effect for Japan, Russia, Marcus Island and the Northern Marianas. A tsunami watch has been issued for Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia and the U.S. state of Hawaii.

The quake struck at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), about 80 miles (125 kilometers) off the eastern coast, the agency said. The area is 240 miles (380 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo.

In downtown Tokyo, large buildings s hook violently and workers poured into the street for safety. TV footage showed a large building on fire and bellowing smoke in the Odaiba district of Tokyo.

In central Tokyo, trains were stopped and passengers walked along the tracks to platforms. Footage on NHK from their Sendai office showed employees stumbling around and books and papers crashing from desks.

Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.

Thirty minutes after the quake, tall buildings were still swaying in Tokyo and mobile phone networks were not working. Japan’s Coast Guard has set up task force and officials are standing by for emergency contingencies, Coast Guard official Yosuke Oi said. ”I ’m afraid we ’ll soon find out about damages, since the quake was so strong, ” he said
