事件英语作文：地震无情人有情(精品20篇)

时光飞逝，短暂而又愉快的假期生活已经结束了。接下来我所面临的是紧张而又愉快的新学期的教育教学生活。为把新学期的教育教学工作做好，特此作如下教学计划：

一、指导思想。

坚持马列主义，毛泽东思想。高举邓小平理论伟大旗帜，认真学习教育理论，贯彻“三个代表”重要指导思想，积极响应和贯彻素质教育钻研素质教育的实质。“减负”的内在，并以此指导自己的教育教学工作，遵循教育教学规律，紧扣大纲，把我教学层次，不断提高自己的业务水平。

二、基本情况。

这一学期，我继续担任初一(1，2)班的英语教学工作。这两个班级，每班各有学生三十五人左右，但是，基础却不尽人意。初一.1班的学生基础还可以，但是2班的基础却相差很远，学生基础参差不齐，两极分化严重，没有学习的兴趣。因此，教学工作开展的相当困难。

三、教材特点。

初中英语第一册(下)主要介绍了日常生活的交际用语以及一些西方国家的文化背景和风俗习惯，教材通俗易懂，旨在使初一级学生基本能用英语进行简单的交流。

四、教学目标。

力争在期末考试中优秀率打到30%左右，及格率达到60%左右。缩小学生间的差距。为下一学期的英语教育教学工作打下以良好的基础。

五、具体措施。

1、每天背诵课文中的对话。目的：要求学生背诵并默写，培养语感。

2、每天记5个生词，2个常用句子或习语。实施：利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查，保证效果并坚持下去。

3、认真贯彻晨读制度：规定晨读内容，加强监督，保证晨读效果。

4、坚持日测、周测、月测的形成性评价制度：对英语学习实行量化制度，每日、每周、每月都要给学生检验自己努力成果的机会，让进步的同学体会到成就感，让落后的同学找出差距，感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围，培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。

5、对后进生进行专门辅导，布置单独的作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体味学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、关注学生的情感，营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

7、实施"任务型"的教学途径，培养学生综合语言运用能力。

8、在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容，创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动，吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式，学习和使用英语，完成学习任务。

9、加强对学生学习策略的指导，为他们终身学习奠定基础。

10、认真钻研教材，备好，上好每一节课，向45分钟要质量。

总之，新的学期已经开始了，我要以上一学期的基础为起点，树立信心，全身心的投入到新学期的教育教学工作中去。争取在新的一年里，把教育教学工作推向一新的层次。

Many years ago, I saw a science fiction film, which described a future

world. The way people lived was very different. They could drive cars in the

sky. Everything in the future world was so convenient. Since then, I was always

curious about how the future world would become. The fling cars seemed so

ridiculous for now, but thinking about more than 100 years ago, people never

thought about flying in the sky, but now we could take planes and traveled

around the world. Everything was possible. Whats more, the development of

technology is so fast that the world changes so much every ten years. Nowadays,

people can pay the bill online. No matter where they go, a cell phone can solve

most problems. I believe that future transportation will be much efficient and

will surprise us all.

防震减灾

2008年5月12日14时28分，我国四川汶川发生了一场里氏8.0级的大地震，仅仅几秒钟的时间，汶川的一切，都变成了废墟。有多少人失去了自己的亲人，有多少人离开了我们美好的人间，又有多少人变成了残疾人……这场地震震撼了全国人民，给四川人民心中留下了挥之不去的阴影。为了纪念这个特殊的日子，我校举行了防震减灾

早自习的时候，姜老师认真的对我们说：“今天，我们要举行防震减灾

这时，操场上热闹非凡，大家都在讨论刚才的演习。

当操场上的人全部安静以后，教导主任严肃地对我们进行了安全教育的讲解，这次演习就圆满结束了。

通过这次演习，我学会了地震来临时应该怎样保护自己，还懂得了发生地震时，大家要互相帮助，共同面对困难，减少灾难对我们带来的损失。

When someone asks me: What is your Chinese dream? I will answer it without

any hesitation: to be a good doctor. The reason why I want to be a doctor is

that I want to save people’s lives as possible as I can. When I was young, I had

a terrible car accident. Thanks to the doctors, they brought me back to life.

From then on, to be a good doctor has always been an inspiration to me. I will

study hard to make sure that my dream will come true in the future.

Chinese dream is made up of every ordinary people’s dreams. We should do

our best to make our dream come true.

"As" this sentence is confirmed by the wonderful nature, yesterday the

wisper under light rain, my heart is heavy like a rock, because want to master

and old milk grave, before, I dont understand the real meaning of the qing Ming

day, until today after sweeping the tomb, I understand the true meaning of

tomb-sweeping day!

At seven o clock in the morning, we prepare to master and old milk grave,

grave is a fresh thing for me, we take tools and set off.

Walking the winding mountain road, I cant wait, after about an hour, we

came to the master and old grandmas grave, a year didnt come, graves are

covered with wild grass, you well after the division of labor, began to busy,

everything is in place, we started to burn money, along with the smoke, I seem

to see their shadow, they told me: study hard and cherish life.

Yes, life is short, happy every day to live, to continuously surpass

ourselves, surpass ourselves, dream will come true; The superego, the dream into

power; Beyond the self, to create beautiful life! I think life is constantly

transcend self, beyond the dream!!!!! Panoramic view of the city house on the

mountain, the mountain was full of golden golden in the rape, deep breath, deep

and remote light fragrance, fresh air, the flowers with irresistible power

Teachers Day

The Teachers Day will come soon.At first,I want to extend my greeting and best wishes to my dear teachers.

I still remember the year when I failed the collage entrance exmination.Iwas feeling lost,and no idea about what my life is going to be.My teachet came to me,and she said she understand how I felt inside now.She also told me its very common that students who are like me will go though a hard time. She told me that failure was a part of life, which was not the end but a new beginning. And she encouraged me to go back to the school to start a new. I was convinced in the end and decided to give another try.

Now Ive graduated from collage and got a very good job.I know all my success owns to my kind teacher. Ill work harder and never give up again.

With the development of information industry, there are more and more

people shopping online. Shopping online means shopping on the Internet without

going out. Therefore, on the one hand, shopping online has its advantage. One

the other hand, shopping on line also has its disadvantage.

First of all, shopping online is very convenient. People can buy thing only

they have a computer, which can surf the Internet. They don’t need to go out on

a rainy day or under the shining sun. Meanwhile, people can save their time to

finish their work or other things. On the contrary, as people just decide what

they buy depending on the picture placed by the shop owner, they can’t see the

quality before they receive the product. Sometimes people maybe buy the things

are in low quality, or some fake products.

In general, shopping online has its advantage and disadvantage. In my

opinion, I prefer shopping online than shopping on the street.

Mid-autumn Day is a Chinese festival. It usually comes in September or

October .On that day we usually eat a big dinner and mooncakes. It is said "Hou

Yi" missed his wife，so he made mooncakes. It looks like the moon.

There are many kinds of mooncakes. They are small round cakes with meat，

nuts or something sweet inside . eating mooncakes has been our custom. Families

stay outside in the open air eat a big dinner and mooncakes. The most important

thing is looking at the moon， On that day， the moon kooks brighter and rounder.

We call this moon the full moon.

On that day， families get together， so we call this day getting together.

This is Mid-autumn Day. I love it very much. Because on that day I can eat

mooncakes. And my brother comes back home. He works outside all year. Only that

day and the Spring Festival. He comes back. So that day I am especially happy.

On that day my family gets together.

When I was very small, I was so envious about the adults, because they

could do whatever they wanted and did not have to depend on their parents. For

me, I did not have money and my parents limited my pocket money, so I couldn’t

spend the money to buy whatever I wanted. It seems to me that being an adult is

my only wish. Some day, I learned from the movie that being an adult was not

that as perfect as I thought. In the movie, the man struggled to earn money to

pay his bills, what’s more, he had to stay away from his family. Loneliness was

always around him. To be independent means we can live our own way and make our

own decision. We have more freedom. But at the same time, it also means more

annoyance. So why just we enjoy this moment.

The Great Wall runs across North China like a huge dragon, It winds its way

from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last

it reaches the sea. Its the longest wall on the earth, also one of the wonders

in the world.The Great Wall has a history of more than 2000 years. The first part was

built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

All the walls were joined up in Qin Dynasty.All tile work was done by

hand.Thousands of people died while building the wall.Thus the Great Wall came

into existence.Since then, it has been rebuilt and repaired many times.

Now the Great Wall,the admiration of the world, has taken on a new look.

Its visited by large numbers of people from all parts of the country and the

world.

In Earths northern side, Asias eastern part, Pacific Oceans West bank, some beautiful place, here is our hometown, here is our homeland, this is our great motherland - mother, is she, with ya already the milk, cultivated the myriad hero, was she, has given us the black eye, enabled us to go out the light from darkness, was she, has given me the yellow skin, looked like Yellow River to do the struggle equally with the life. This mother so is good at demanding, all outstanding children have given to the life she, this mother is also such gives generously, she wisdom, honest, brave, broadcast heroes mind sincerely.

Spring, always brings the jubilation to the people, brings the poetic sentiment, brings the daydream, brings the expectation, brings the hope, but this years autumn, must with general, is more unusual. In this happy season, from the south of the lower reaches of the Yangze River to the north border region, from a Ganjiang River shore to Lhasa forest card, Republic each square kilometer well-loved place soaks is being delighted and is happy, the flow with is singing happily. 1,300,000,000 China children release for flight the golden color ideal by the heroic intense singing sound and the rosy expectation, releases for flight the rock-solid faith with the line which praises to the great motherland.

The new Chinas establishment, is the innumerable martyrs trades with the blood and the life! Although is weak in the early years of the new nation Chinas economic basis, but the new Chinas leaders caused the Chinese people to stand thoroughly, caused China to realize thoroughly has been independent, is complete. in the pasts 70 age middle of the month, China one was rising step by step, this was the China children expected, was also worth dancing with joy. From the founding of the nation the first day, the many unfriendly countries internationally is being hostile toward China, does everything possible to hinder China to progress. the US was the biggest threat which China developed, the Korean War which, the Vietnam War the US started causes our country has suffered the heavy loss in the manpower and the financial resource aspect; The US supports Chiang Kai-Shek counter-attacks the mainland motion to cause our country coast not to be peaceful for a long time; Presents US still in did everything possible to suppress China, like did not acknowledge that China market economy status, gesticulates, force Renminbi revaluation in the Taiwan problem and so on, zai weilai di regan nian zhong, the US will still be Chinas enemies, is the forever trouble maker.

We believed that in the Chinese nation great rejuvenations journey, will certainly to appear for one another magnificent 30 years! Chinese nations rising, will certainly to let the world be proud for us!

在地球的北面，亚洲的东部，太平洋的西岸，有一个美丽的地方，这儿是我们的故乡，这儿是我们的家园，这就是我们伟大的祖国――母亲，是她，用睚已的乳汁，培育出了万千英雄，是她，给了我们黑眼睛，让我们能从黑暗中走出光明，是她，给了我黄皮肤，像黄河一样与生命搞争。这位母亲如此善于索取，以至于所有优秀的儿女都将生命献给了她，这们母亲又是那样的慷慨地给予，她把智慧，正直，勇敢，真诚都播进了英雄们的心灵。

春天，总给人们带来喜庆，带来诗意，带来遐想，带来憧憬，更带来希望，而今年的秋天，非同一般，更不寻常。在这美好的季节，从江南水乡到北国边陲，从赣江只滨到拉萨林卡，共和国每一平方公里的热土都浸透着欢欣与幸福，流淌着甜蜜与歌唱。十三亿华夏儿女以豪迈激越的歌声放飞金色的理想与玫瑰色的憧憬，放飞坚如磐石的信念与对伟大祖国赞美的诗行。

新中国的建立，是无数先烈用鲜血和生命换来的!虽然在建国初期中国的经济基础非常薄弱，但新中国的领导人使中国人民彻底站了起来，使中国彻底实现了独立、完整。 在过去的70年岁月中，中国一步步在崛起，这是华夏儿女所期望的，也是值得欢欣鼓舞的。从建国的第一天起，国际上的许多不友好的国家在仇视中国，想方设法阻碍中国进步。 美国是中国发展的最大威胁，美国发动的朝鲜战争、越南战争使我国在人力和财力方面遭受了巨大损失;美国支持的蒋介石反攻大陆行动使我国沿海长期不得安宁;现在的美国仍然在想方设法遏止中国，如不承认中国市场经济地位、在台湾问题上指手划脚、强迫人民币升值等等，在未来的若干年中，美国将仍然是中国的敌人，是永远的麻烦制造者。

我们坚信，在中华民族伟大复兴的征程上，必将出现一个又一个辉煌的30年!中华民族的崛起，必将让世界为我们自豪!

I like to make friends, I can share my happiness and sorrow with friends.

Friends are very important part of our lives, without them, I will be very

lonely. I learn it when I was very small. It was Friday, I went to school to

join the English contest, before I went into the classroom, I found I did not

bring the admission card, I felt so worried, without admission card, I could not

walk into the classroom. My friend Li looked at me and asked me what happened, I

told him the truth, then he asked me to stay here and he rushed to our

classroom. Ten minutes later, he came back with my admission card. I was so

thankful, friends are very important.

I love reading, which enriches my knowledge and helps me know more about

the world. I love the school atmosphere. Students study together here and make

progress gradually. My favorite place here is library. I can read many books

here. Once I have some questions, I can find a lot of information. We fight for

the goal and plan details in the library in group task. I have so many good

memories to study here, which makes me so happy. No matter which school I am in,

I will always find this quiet corner and study what I like. I love the feelings

there.

Christmas Day is on December 25th, though it originated in the western

country, now it is popular around the world. In China, people will spend that

day happily, they will eat apples on Christmas Eve, the children will put the

socks so that they could get the presents from Santa Claus. When I went to

college, I had an unforgettable memory about my first Christmas Day.

As my major is English, I have many foreign teachers, so that I could have

access to the local culture from them. Christmas Day is a big day for them, when

the day came, they asked us to spend the day with them, because most of them

left home and did not have families around. My classmates and I went to the

foreign teacher’s home at that day, we brought some presents, when we arrived at

his house, we found a beautiful tree with shinning lights. My teachers taught us

how to cook all the cookies, we were having such great fun. I made the cookies

with many favors. We talked happily and sung Christmas songs.

I learned how the foreign people spend their big day, it was such

unforgettable for me.

During weekdays, I am busy, because I must go to school. I usually get up

at 6:30 a.m.. And then I do some washing. After that, I will have my breakfast

at 6:50. I usually go to school at 7:15. Now, I can go to school and come home

by myself. I have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. I have

my lunch at home. I study Chinese, math, English and some other subjects at

school. At night, I can watch TV or play computer. But I have to finish my

homework first. I usually go to bed at 10:00 p.m..

英语念起来干枯无聊，我偶尔往前面望去，有一排同学没事可做，竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书，晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人！怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。

敢死队员1号：小心翼翼型

这位队员一边看着书，一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧，他刚翻一页，就抬头看看老师，接着又翻一页，然后有抬头望望老师，这样重复循环，真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他，他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页，然后突然抬头，盯着老师。

敢死队员2号：动作怪怪型

这位队员可有点怪了，看着书，一会儿掏掏鼻子，一会儿打打哈欠，一会儿摸摸耳朵，一副惟恐天下不乱的样子，好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的，真是个怪人。

敢死队员3、4号：谈天说地型

这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了，边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL，说漫画内容，说小说，说娱乐咨询，就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们，也无济于事。

敢死队员5号：边学边看型

这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性，看了几分钟的书，马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时，老师为了扫查班上的敢死队，把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了，他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢，看一会儿就学学，这一招算是对他的MISS了。

敢死队员6号：理直气壮型

这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了（注：别乱想，不是我啊），他可是一人之下，几十人之上，谁敢对他不敬，他的落雷马上就落在你头上了，（注：我已经欠了他3顿打了，要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业，我早就魂飞天了）因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水，他这样看了一堂课，竟然都没半点被批评，真太不公平了！！

谁知道，老师从天而降，为了抓住敢死分子，居然来个背后突袭，到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声，在同一时间内放下书，装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山，而老师的目光明明瞄准了他，可老师却好像在放水一样，竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动，真气死人了！而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘，只好乖乖停课，唯独6号占了便宜。

Peer pressure means the influence given by a group of people around you,

such as, parents, friends, classmates, teachers and so on. Their influence will

affect your attitude, behavior, conception or decision. As every side has two

sides, this influence also has two sides. Let me explain my reasons.

For one thing, influence of peer pressure has positive effect. It depends

on the specific thing. Sometimes, the influence of pressure will promote me get

progress. For instance, my deskmate does well in one math exam, while I fall far

behind her. As we are deskmates, i can’t let others look down on me. So i will

take her as my good example to fight. And then next time, I can get a good mark

by my effort. Take my parents as another example, they like clean. They don’t

have the habit to throw rubbish at will. I won’t have this habit either living

with them.

For another, influence of peer pressure has negative effect. Sometimes the

influence will be bad. For example, if my friends ask me to skip class to watch

a basketball match with them, i go with them, even i don’t have that thought

before. And one of my friends has gone through a lot, he always try to convince

me that money is very important. As time passes, i may change my conception.

In summary, the influence of peer pressure has positive and negative sides.

We have to advocate the good side and avoid the negative. We have to be clear

about what is right and what is wrong and firm our position.

Mobilize是一个平时不太常用的单词，但是此次四川地震灾难发生之后，全世界对于中国政府mobilize抗震救灾力量的效率给予了好评，我们也可以对mobilize有一个全新的认识与了解。在表示“废墟”的时候，英语中通常使用debris和rubble这两个单词。与地震相关的其他词语还包括地震的“震级”，“震中”，“地震强度”、“余震”等等，这些用英语怎么说?媒体是怎样报道的，让我们一起来学学!

2008年5月12日发生在四川西北部的特大地震及其惨重后果牵动了全体国人的心，媒体也迅速介入，在灾难发生后的第一时间，中央电视台启动24小时滚动直播。与此同时，西方媒体也纷纷迅速报道，而且大多惊叹中国政府的救灾效率，尤其是中国政府能在最短的时间内动员最大的人力投入救灾十分赞叹。

通过这些外媒的报道，我们也得到了一个通过新闻学习英语的良好机会，如果我们在积极关注地震灾难以及随后的可歌可泣抗争救灾行动的时候也注意通过英语媒体了解情况，我们就可以掌握一些地道的英语表达，丰富我们的语言应用能力。如美联社5月16日的一篇报道中有以下一段文字：China has mobilized 130,000 army and paramilitary troops to the disaster area, but the quake buckled roads and triggered mountain landslides, meaning that relief supplies and rescuers have struggled to reach the worst-hit areas.

Mobilize是一个平时不太常用的单词，但是此次四川地震灾难发生之后，全世界对于中国政府mobilize抗震救灾力量的效率给予了好评，我们也可以对mobilize有一个全新的认识与了解。中国政府此次动员的抗震救灾力量主要来自军警，上述文字中的paramilitary troops就是“准军事部队”的意思，也就是警察，包括武警。Paramilitary是西方国家通常用来表达警察和武警部队的英语词汇，在我国的汉英词典中，“武警”的译文通常是armed police，但这个表达远不如paramilitary在英语国家中用的普遍。中国政府此次出动的抗震救灾力量中除了军人之外还有大量武警、森林警察、消防警察和普通公安干警，这些警力在英语中可以统称为paramilitary troops。Buckled roads就是“阻挡道路”的意思，其中buckle这个单词在这里使用得十分生动形象，因为“阻挡道路”我们一般是表达为block road的，而buckle的意思是“使扭曲”，“使弯曲”，“使变形”，对于在汶川地震中毁坏的公路来说，buckle这个词显然是再形象不过的了，因为那里遭到毁坏的公路确实扭曲断裂变形了，这一点我们从电视上都看到了。triggered mountain landslides就是“引发山体滑坡”的意思，其中的mountain landslide就是“山体滑坡”的意思，slide属于美国英语用法，指的是(土、石、雪等的)崩落，崩塌。常见派生用法有landslide(山崩，滑坡，塌方)，mud slide就是“泥石流”。Trigger这个词用在这里也十分形象，因为它通常表示由于外来力量的作用而造成的某种后果。在美联社的另外一篇报道中，“引发”的英语对应词汇用的spark，其释义与trigger相似，如A strong aftershock sparked landslides near the epicenter of this weeks powerful earthquake Friday, burying vehicles and again cutting off ravaged areas of central China. 我们抗震救灾中所急需的各类“救灾物资”就是relief supplies。说到与“救”相关的词汇，我们的广大英语学习者往往会条件反射想到save这个英语单词，其实不然，在各种灾难救援行动中，rescue是一个更常用的词汇，下文的rescuers就是“救援人员”的意思，而“救援行动”本身在英语中就是relief。“救援人员”还可以表达为relief workers，如美联社的这篇报道中就提到了以下一句话：Relief workers said food, water and tents were urgently needed. 上文中的worst-hit areas指的就是此次地震灾害中受灾最严重的地区，比如说汶川，北川和青川等地。

此次汶川地震造成的严重后果之一就是大量人员、尤其是正在学校上学的孩子们被掩埋在建筑物坍塌之后的废墟之中，在表示“废墟”的时候，英语中通常使用debris和rubble这两个单词。如美联社的这篇报道提到：Rescuers saved a child from the debris of a school in the town of Beichuan 80 hours after the quake struck. They said they could hear weak calls for help from amid the rubble, Xinhua said.其中，debris所涵盖的范围比rubble更广泛，它可以泛指一切物体解体之后形成的碎片或者残骸，比如说飞机发生空难之后的残骸the debris of a plane，又如，The beach was littered with debris(海滩上到处都是残骸)。必须指出的是，debris是不可数名词。相对而言，rubble用在此次地震灾难的报道中就更加具有针对性，因为它表示(被毁的建筑物或墙壁)的碎石，碎砖，瓦砾，而汶川地震之后大量人员就是被掩埋在rubble之中的。Rubble同样也是不可数名词。此外，表示“倒塌的建筑物”时候，英语还经常使用ruin，它是可数名词，因此更经常使用ruins这个复数形式，其搭配介词是in。如美联社的这一报道说：Two girls held handsin the ruins of their school and swore to each other they would not give up hope, Xinhua said.又如，Elsewhere, rescuers were still finding survivors after being buried in rubble for 96 hours… 在词语搭配方面，除了ruin之外，rubble和debris的搭配介词也都是in，如buried in the rubble/debris就是“被掩埋在废墟/瓦砾之中”的意思。如果表达“被困”在废墟之中，那么，这时候的相应单词就是trap，其完整的词组表达就是英语被动式be trapped in the debris。如美联社的报道说： A Chinese state news agency says rescuers have pulled a student to safety afterbeing trapped for 80 hours in the debris of a school following this weeks massive earthquake.地震中的遇险人员在遭到掩埋之后必定会呼救，这时候的对应英语表达除了上文提到的call for help之外还可以是yell for help，如美联社报道说：Xinhua News Agency said Friday that rescuers could still hear weak yells for help from the collapsed building in Beichuan in the northern part of Sichuan and hope to rescue more students.

汶川大地震造成的灾难性后果之一就是许多学校的教学楼坍塌了，此次我国媒体报道的时候使用的词语叫做“垮塌”，在英语中，无论是坍塌还是垮塌，其实都是一个词，即collapse，既是名词，也是动词，还是美联社的同一篇报道中提到：In the town of Dujiangyan, a school collapse buried 900 students. In Wufu, nearly every building in the village withstood the quake but for a primary school, whose collapse killed some 300 students. 又如，美联社新闻说，Experts said hope was quickly fading for anyone still caught in the wreckage of homes, schools, offices and factories that collapsed in the magnitude-7.9 quake, the most powerful in three decades in quake-prone China.房屋collapse的后果就是被夷为平地，而英语中表示“夷为平地”的对应说法是flatten，如美联社报道说The magnitude 7.9 quake flattened houses, schools and offices the southwestern province of Sichuan. In Hanwang, the towns mostly older buildings were flattened or severely damaged by the quake.

此次地震造成大量人员不幸遇难，让我们无不为之揪心，但这又是无法回避的事实。为此，党中央和国务院紧急强调，在抗震救灾进入第二阶段之后，随着死亡人数的增加和气温的升高，震区防疫就成为工作重点。为严防灾区传染病流行，卫生部防疫队5月15日进驻灾区。这里提到的“防疫”就是epidemic prevention，其中的epidemic是“流行病”，“传染病”的意思，在这里指的是“疫情”。如美联社的这一报道说：There were concerns about epidemics if the dead were not soon buried or cremated. 这个句子中的cremate是人死亡之后进行火化处理的意思。为了更好地应对震区可能出现的疫情，卫生部下发了通知，美联社的报道说：The Ministry of Health issued a notice ordering bodies to be cleaned where they were found and buried as soon as possible, far from water sources and downwind from populated areas.

此次惨烈的大地震造成了数以万计的居民遇难，而且死亡人数还在不断攀升。天灾人祸中的死亡总数，英语中叫做death toll，如美联社报道说The emergency headquarters of the State Council, Chinas Cabinet, said the confirmed death toll had reached 19,509 — up more than 4,500 from the day before. The council said deaths could rise to 50,000, state media reported.上文的意思是，国家抗震救灾总指挥部宣布，截止5月15日，确认的死亡人数已达到19509人，但最终遇难人数可能上升到5万人。

地震造成的直接后果是无数人死伤和无数房屋建筑被毁，但是，地震还可能造成伴随而来的“次生灾害”，对此党中央和国务院十分重视，及时做出应对部署，以避免次生灾害对人民生命财产的再次损害。美联社报道说：Even though aftershocks had mostly abated, the risk of secondary damage remained. Chinas Ministry of Land and Resources warned heavy rains — forecast for the next few days — would likely set off new landslides in the mountainous disaster zone, where many workers were busy extracting victims and recovering bodies.上文中的secondary damage就是“次生灾害”，而aftershocks had mostly abated指的是余震已经减弱。 5月20日下午，中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理、国务院抗震救灾总指挥部总指挥温家宝主持召开总指挥部第11次会议时就强调切实做好受灾群众安置工作，防范次生灾害。

与地震相关的其他词语还包括地震的“震级”，“震中”，“地震强度”、“余震”等等，如美联社报道说，A major earthquake measuring 7.8 Richter Scale jolted Wenchuan County of Southwest Chinas Sichuan province at 2:28 p.m. on Monday.其中的measuring 7.8 Richter Scale就是“里氏7?8级”的意思，其中的measure还可以表达为register。A major earthquake of 7.8-magnitude shook Chinas Sichuan province on Monday, the US Geological Survey said. 其中的magnitude就是表示地震的强度。Roads to the epicenter were closed due to damage caused by the 7.8-magnitude quake, and the situation was making rescue efforts difficult even 48 hours after the deadly quake.这里的epicenter指的就是地震的“震中”，此次川西北大地震的震中就位于汶川县的映秀镇。又如，A strong aftershock sparked landslides near the epicenter of this weeks powerful earthquake Friday, burying vehicles and again cutting off ravaged areas of central China. Aftershock就是“余震”，上文已提及。而“地震”除了表达为earthquake及其缩略形式quake之外还可以说temblor，这是美国英语中用来表示“地震”的单词。此外，由于此次地震造成的伤亡后果十分惨重，因此在修饰性词汇方面，英语中用了多个不同单词，如massive/powerful/devastating/deadly/killer earthquake。

当然，与地震相关的词语表达还有很多，不可能在这里一一列举。在关注地震奉献爱心的时候，我们也可以通过阅读英语新闻报道来掌握一些英语词汇，丰富我们的语言表达能力，新闻媒介是当今日新月异的政治、经济、科技、文化和社会生活等各个层面活动的最佳表现渠道，语言便是其表现载体，因为语言是伴随着特定的政治、社会等环境而产生的，具有明显的社会性。

My dad bought a computer when I was five years old. I could draw pictures

and listen to music on it.

But once, the computer was down suddenly.

My dad told me that it might be attacked by computer virus.

I was so scared that I asked dad anxiously, "Did it get a flu? Did it need

some medicine?" But dad laughed and said smilingly, "Dont be silly, son.

No medicine can cure a computer virus. Its a problem of program." I didnt

understand what my dad said at that time.

But I made up my mind to study hard and to be a computer expert in the

future.
