双语阅读:未来可能发生地震的地区

作者:stephen    文章来源:沪江英语网    点击数:    更新时间:2010-1-28 【我来说两句

 

Indonesia
印尼

It's called the Ring of Fire, a semicircle of violently shifting plates and volcanoes that runs along the edges of the Pacific Ocean, from New Zealand to Chile. The most seismically active region on the planet, the Ring of Fire has triggered countless quakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. Indonesia, a region that has been hit repeatedly by massive temblors, most recently a 7.6 earthquake in September that killed more than 1,000 people. Sadly that's a relatively small quake death toll by Indonesian standards — and seismologists expect more to come in the future.

这里被称为火圈带,从新西兰到智利,一个半圆形的急速移动板块和火山群绵延于太平洋上,使之成为地球上最容易发生地震的区域。火圈带中已经发生过无数次地震、火山爆发和海啸。印尼是一个反复遭受地震袭击的地方,最近的一次是在九月份,震级7.6,一千多人丧生。不过根据印尼一贯的标准来看,这个死亡人数还太不足道——地震学家认为未来会发生更可怕的地震。
