第一篇：英語地震簡介（精選）

中文名稱：

地震

英文名稱：

earthquake

定義：

地殼在內、外營力作用下，集聚的構造應力突然釋放，產生震動彈性波，從震源向四周傳播引起的地面顫動。

世界上主要有三大地震帶：

環太平洋地震帶 分布在太平洋周圍，包括南北美洲太平洋沿岸和從阿留申群島、堪察加半島、日本列島南下至我國臺灣省，再經菲律賓群島轉向東南，直到新西蘭。這里是全球分布最廣、地震最多的地震帶，所釋放的能量約占全球的四分之三。

歐亞地震帶 從地中海向東，一支經中亞至喜馬拉雅山，然后向南經我國橫斷山脈，過緬甸，呈弧形轉向東，至印度尼西亞。另一支從中亞向東北延伸，至堪察加，分布比較零散。海嶺地震帶 分布在太平洋、大西洋、印度洋中的海嶺地區（海底山脈）。

中國地震多發地區

在中國大致有這么幾個地震敏感點，以四川 西藏 為主的西南地區，因為其處于地中海-—喜馬拉雅地震帶上。還有以河北，北京，江蘇，福建臺灣，為主的東南沿海地區因為其處于環太平洋地震帶上，板塊活動較為劇烈。所以這些處于地球內部版塊交界處的省份，容易發生地震。

一1906.4.18美國舊金山地震8.3級死亡2000人損失5億美元次生災害為火災在那舊地區金山圣弗朗西斯科半島

二1923.9.1日本關東地震8.2級死亡143000人財產損失66億日元，日本全國財富的5％次生災害為火災、狂風、海嘯在日本關東地區，這次地震的震級之大，破壞之烈，次生災害 災種之多，都堪稱日本自然災害之最，在世界現代史上稱得上一次少見的綜合性大災

難。

三1999.09.21中國臺灣大地震7.6級死亡2000人損失118億美元次生災害為火災且臺中市深度淺,余震強,余震次數頻繁而且持續時間長

四2008.5.12中國汶川大地震8.0 級死亡70000人損失8451.4億美元堰次生災害塞湖、地震謠傳成都、綿陽、什邡淺源地震。汶川地震不屬于深板塊邊界的效應，發生在地殼脆——韌性轉換帶，震源深度為10千米——20千米，因此破壞性巨大。

地震前兆地震前兆指發生前出現的異常現象，在地應力作用下，在應力應變逐漸積累、加強的過程中，會引起震源及附近物質發生如地震活動、地表的明顯變化以及地磁、地電、重力等地球物理異常，地下水位、水化學、動物的異常行為等。概括性稱這些與地震孕育、發生有關聯的異常變化現象為地震前兆（也稱地震異常）。它包括地震微觀異常和地震宏觀異常兩大類。

地震微觀異常：地下水異常地下水包括井水、泉水等。主要異常有發渾、冒泡、翻花、升溫、變色、變味、突升、突降、泉源突然枯竭或涌出等。人們總結了震前井水變化的諺語：“井水是個寶，前兆來得早。”“無雨水質渾，天旱井水冒。”“水位變化大，翻花冒氣泡。”“ 有的變顏色，有的變味道。”

生物異常許多動物的某些器官感覺特別靈敏，它能比人類提前知道一些災害事件的發生，例如海洋中水母能預報風暴，老鼠能事先躲避礦井崩塌或有害氣體的侵入等等。

至于在視覺、聽覺、觸覺、振動覺、平衡覺器官中，哪些起了主要作用，哪些又起了輔助判斷作用，對不同的動物可能有所不同。伴隨地震而產生的物理、化學變化（振動、電、磁、氣象、水氡含量異常等），往往能使一些動物的某種感覺器官受到刺激而發生異常的反應。如一個地區的重力發生變異，某些動物可能能通過它的平衡器官感覺到；一種振動異常，某些動物的聽覺器官也許能夠察覺出來。地震前地下巖層早已在逐日緩慢活動，呈現出蠕動狀態，而斷層面之間又具有強大的摩擦力，于是有人認為在摩擦的斷層面上會產生一種每秒鐘僅幾次至十多次、低于人的聽覺所能感覺到的低頻聲波。人只能感覺得到每秒20次以上的聲波，而動物則不然。那些感覺十分靈敏的動物，在感觸到這種聲波時，便會驚恐萬分、狂躁不安，以致出現冬蛇出洞，魚躍水面，豬牛跳圈，在淺海處見到深水魚或陌生魚群。雞飛狗跳等異常現象。動物異常的種類很多，有大牲畜、家禽、穴居動物、冬眠動物、魚類等等。豬：不進圈、不吃食、亂叫亂鬧、拱圈、越圈外逃。羊：不進圈、不吃食、亂叫亂鬧、越圈逃跑、鬧圈。狗：狂吠不休、哭泣、嗅地扒地、咬人、亂跑亂鬧、叼著狗崽搬家、警犬不聽指令。貓：驚慌不安、叼著貓崽搬家上樹。

bless you——China

On May 12th ,a powerful earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter Scale has attacked the village which was called Wenchuan in Sichuan Province.I surfed the Internet from morning till night to see what were happening in that place.I fell very distressed that when I saw the pictures.The whole villages were wiped out by the terrible earthquake.Hundreds of people lost their lives or were rendered homeless.But fortunately, millions of people home or broad have given freely in response to the appeal for the victims of the earthquake.I hope all of us can try our best to help the victims out of this terrible disaster as soon as possible.China is a great nation!Chinese are all great people!Great Chinese must defeat all the difficulties they meet at last!

I believe and bless you——China—— my great motherland!

In the sound of the whistle, the May meeting of rain and tears.This is a sad moment: the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, wives, husbands, lovers,teachers, students, friends, colleagues, neighbours…...to at 14:28 on May 12 before the dull, busy, hope , Disappointed, sad, happy…… those beutiful days.Today's Wenchuan Festivals, it is only a short farewell.Life, not just breathing and heartbeat.Man's bitterest sorrows are separation and death not the lives of the border.Pro-people did not leave, everything will continue.In the ruins of the baby crying sound, called a “Wenchuan” new life, born today.翻譯：祝福你——中國

5月12日,一個強大的規模7.8的地震不但攻擊村莊被叫做四川汶川。

我搜尋網路,從早到晚看什么發生在那個地方。我感到很痛苦,當我有看過照片,整個村莊所消滅可怕的地震。數以百計的人失去了生命或烏托邦無家可歸。但幸運的是,數以百萬計的人家里還是廣泛自由地在回應了上訴為地震的受害者。

我真心希望大家能盡最大的努力幫助受害者從這可怕的浩劫盡快。

中國是一個偉大的國。中國都是偉大的人!偉大的中國必須打敗所有的困難,他們終于見面了!

我相信,祝福你——中國——我的偉大的祖國!

在聲音的汽笛聲,會議的雨水和淚水交匯。這是一個悲傷的時刻:向母親、父親、兒子、女兒、妻子、丈夫、戀人、教師、學生、朋友、同事、鄰居??在5月12日14時28分前的平淡、忙碌、希望、失望、憂愁、歡喜??那些美麗的溫馨日子。

今天的汶川祭奠,只有短暫的告別。一生,而不只是呼吸和心跳。人的最惡毒的悲痛是分離和死亡不是生命的邊界。親人們沒有離去,一切都將延續。在廢墟上嘹亮的嬰兒啼哭聲里,一個叫做“汶川”的新生命,今天降生。
