第二篇：日本地震 英文

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，日本東北海岸發生了7.9級地震，東京房屋發生了幾分鐘的震動，并且引發了海嘯警報。

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.日本氣象局發出警報說一股20英尺(6米)高的海嘯可能襲擊離震中最近的宮城附近的海岸，另外一些較小的0.5米高的海嘯到達了沿岸城市。

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.地震發生在當地時間周五下午2點46分，震源深度10公里，離東海岸大約125公里，在東京東北部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.在東京市中心，大廈發生了劇烈的搖晃，職工們都涌向街頭逃難。電視鏡頭拍攝到東京臺場地區一幢大樓起火冒煙的畫面。

Police and coast guard officials said they were assessing possible damage from the quake.警方和海岸警衛官員表示他們正在估測地震可能造成的破壞。

Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.最近幾天這個地區已經發生了多場地震，包括周三的那場7.3級地震。

在這次地震中，好多人都失去了家人和朋友，有些人甚至自己都死了，他們多么可憐呀！自然災害是無情的，據專家介紹，這次日本地震破壞力超過20個汶川地震的破壞力。這次地震有史以來級數最高的一次地震，實在是威力巨大！他們知道，失去家人是多么痛苦的一件事情，作為生活在同一個地球的我們，也應該幫助他們。

這次地震其實也是一個警鐘，它在提醒我們，要保護環境，不要大量抽取地下能量，這樣會導致強烈的大地震，要是沿海地區也要注意不要把垃圾扔到海里，這樣也會污染環境。

第三篇：地震英文介紹

Earthquake An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves（地震波）.Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer（地震檢波器）, also known as a seismograph（地震儀）.The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude(里氏量級）, with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible 感覺不到的 and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas.Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale（麥加利震級, 麥氏震級）.At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement（位移）of the ground.When a large earthquake epicenter（震中）is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami（海嘯）.The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves.Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture（破裂, 裂開）of geological faults（斷層）, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.An earthquake's point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter.The term epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.

Dear Tom,

What a surprise to me it was when the news came that you failed in the Entrance Examination to college. You have always worked hard in school. In the final examination, you have distinguished yourself with honor. Your failure is not your own fault, I am sure.

Those who have real knowledge may fail in the examination if chance is against them. I hope you won't take this to heart and will get ready to try again.

Dear victims,

A week ago, I was shocked at the news about the earthquake in Yushu.

And I’m very sorry to hear that this earthquake was the greatest disaster after 1949. And there are 40075 people who are found dead in the disaster till now and there have been more than 500 million people who are homeless. The floor was ripped through, many blocks and houses were seriously damaged, and even were as flat as a pancake. I’m deeply moved by the volunteers and the international rescue teams who are in the frontline. I, standing for my school, comfort your victims and survivors with our warm heart. Moreover, we contribute a large amount of money to you. And our school will try our best to help you. Last but not the least, I hope we all have the confidence to rebuild your home after the disaster.

Only when we have the perseverance can we defeat the natural disaster. Good luck and best wishes to you!

Yours sincerely

第五篇：英文演講稿——地震

Morning, Everyone!It’s my turn to introduce some cases of the impact of the earthquake.You may never forget that day in 11th March 2011, Honshu(本州), off the east coast of Japan suffered one of the most powerful earthquakes.(P1)The exact location is 130 km(80 miles)east of Sendai（仙臺）.This earthquake reached Magnitude 9.0.It is the highest recorded in Japan’s history.Now, let’s review the process of this disaster.P3：This picture is the cause of this earthquake.A chunk of the Pacific plate, which normally slowly under Japan at about 3 inches per year, suddenlyup to 59 feet.This quick jolt thrust undersea land upward, causing the earthquake and tsunami.P4：Then let’s observe the Rupture process（破裂過程）

From Deep red to white means the Rupture process time from 0 to 150 seconds.Itdirection is 209degrees.P5：This page is the ShakeMap Evolution（地震圖）.21 min after the earthquake reached M7.9，40 min after the earthquake reached M8.8，1hr 9 min after the earthquake reached M9.It’sDevastating.P6:Then look at the AftershockSequence(余震), from 9th to 19th March.The size of the circlerepresentsthesize of magnitude.You can observe that there are 4 Aftershocks surpass M7.You can see the intensity of this earthquake from above 3 pictures.And the huge lossescould beforeseeable.And then let's look at the aftermath in a more intuitive way.P8: The two picturesaboveitsindicator range.The two picturesbelowisthe estimated economic and fatality alert in this case,and all of them reach the Red level.Then let’s look at exact losses(P10—12).Total Dead and missinghave reached 19000.While only 1.4% dead caused by the collapse.Its Buildings destroyed reached25510.And it’sDirect Economic lossreached 125 to 158.While it accounted for 20% to 30% of the residential based.The earthquake not only caused the greatest losses to the Japanese, but also the biggest losses on the world history of the earthquake.While let’s look at the losses of WenChuan Earthquake in 2008, which reached Magnitude 8.0.Its strength is 1000 times smaller than Japan’s.75% of dead and missing caused by the collapse and 47.8% of the Economic losses caused by the houses and Non-residential buildings like schools and hospital.The disaster of the earthquake in Sendai is much higher than the earthquake in Wenchuan, however, why our losses caused by collapse are far higher than Japan.Maybe the answer is our housing seismic capacityisnotenough.As the saying Earthquakes don't kill people.People's houses in the midst of earthquakes kill people.However, is it suitable for Japan?

How to protect our livesand property, enhance theseismic resistanceofhousingis very necessary.
