2019中考英語復習資料：An earthquake
中考英語作文整理了《2019中考英語復習資料：An earthquake》，供同學們參考。
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earth's rocky outer shell. Earthquakes are among the most powerful events on earth, and their results can be terrifying. A severe earthquake may release energy 10,000 times as great as that of the first atomic bomb. Rock movements during an earthquake can make rivers change their course. Earthquakes can trigger landslides that cause great damage and loss of life. Large earthquakes beneath the ocean can create a series of huge, destructive waves called tsunamis (pronounced tsoo NAH meez) that flood coasts for many miles.
Earthquakes almost never kill people directly. Instead, many deaths and injuries in earthquakes result from falling objects and the collapse of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Fire resulting from broken gas or power lines is another major danger during a quake. Spills of hazardous chemicals are also a concern during an earthquake.
The force of an earthquake depends on how much rock breaks and how far it shifts. Powerful earthquakes can shake firm ground violently for great distances. During minor earthquakes, the vibration may be no greater than the vibration caused by a passing truck.
On average, a powerful earthquake occurs less than once every two years. At least 40 moderate earthquakes cause damage somewhere in the world each year. About 40,000 to 50,000 small earthquakes--large enough to be felt but not damaging--occur annually
英譯漢
地震引起的地面振動被這突如其來的斷裂和陰暗的大部份的巖石地球外殼。地震是地球上最強大的事件,其結果可太可怕了。一場劇烈的地震釋放能量的1萬倍的第一顆原子彈。巖石運動在地震中可使河流改變他們的課程。地震可能引起山體滑坡造成巨大的傷害及生命的損失。在大地震,可以創(chuàng)建一系列巨大的、破壞性的波叫做海嘯(讀)tsoo算了meez洪水海岸好幾英里。
地震幾乎從不殺人。相反,許多人死亡和受傷的地震造成崩潰的落體、建筑、橋梁、和其他的建筑。火災造成斷燃氣或電源線路中是另一個主要危險的地震。溢出的危險化學品也擔心地震期間。
地震的力量的多少取決于巖石斷裂和轉移。強烈的地震能夠動搖堅實的陸地上暴力很遠的地方。在小震、震動也許不大于振動引起的卡車。
平均來說,一個強大的地震發(fā)生少于每兩年舉辦一次。至少有40個中等地震造成損害的,每年在世界某個地方。大約4萬至5萬小型地震——足夠大的感覺而不是破壞——每年發(fā)生。
