Exercises today, a five (4) when classmates next stair accidentally fell down, fortunately in LouDaoKou teacher give her your hand, and on guard at this time the teacher in charge, she hold the injured students into a (4) classes, next to let her sit down and rest. All of a sudden, should have the upstairs to see us exercises chang teacher appears in front of me, he went into a (4) classes, be caring and attentive to the wounded classmates, and looked at her wound, but no matter, just a little chafed skin, I thought, if there is no teacher standing LouDaoKou this classmate may be tamed by the students in above. It makes me think the November 29, 2010, took place in xinjiang aksu stampede, one person was critically ill in the stampede at the Chinese communist party, six people were seriously injured, 34 people slightly injured, the reason is that in the lesson hold time, the students ran down from upstairs all together, in front of the students fall cause trample, stair handrail crooked, squeezed and accident occurred.

The stampede in almost every year, is this why? First, the schools safety awareness is not enough, should be strict on campus safety awareness, there would be no stampede on college campuses. Second, the teachers dereliction of duty, the teacher is originally to students in a profession, teacher has the responsibility to manage the students behavior. Third, students quality is not high, the teacher must be taught the students to pay attention to safety, and not crowded, but they would rather go for a few minutes and injured, also dont want to be a neat team downstairs.

The word "security", we every day to say, but to really do it, is very difficult, but we can to avoid "accidents".

今天做操时，一位五(4)班的同学在下楼梯时不小心摔倒，幸亏在楼道口站岗的老师扶了她一把，这时班主任来了，她扶着受伤的同学走进旁边的一(4)班，让她坐下休息。突然，本该在楼上看我们做操的张震老师出现在我面前，他走进一(4)班，对那位受伤的同学嘘寒问暖，并查看了她的伤口，所幸没什么大碍，只是擦破了点皮而已，我心想：要是楼道口没有老师站着，这位同学可能就会被上面蜂拥而至的学生压倒。这让我联想到了2010年11月29日，发生在新疆阿克苏的踩踏事件，在这起踩踏事件中共造成1人病危，6人重伤，34人轻伤，原因是在课间操时间，学生从楼上全部一起跑下来，前面的学生摔倒引起踩踏，楼梯扶手被挤歪，因而发生事故。

这些踩踏事故几乎每年都会发生，这是为什么呢?第一，学校的安全意识不够，应该严抓校园安全意识，就不会有校园踩踏事件了。第二，老师的失职，老师本来是为了学生而出现的一种职业，老师有责任管理学生的行为。第三，学生的素质不高，老师肯定教导过学生要注意安全，上下楼不要拥挤，可他们却宁愿去争几分钟而受伤，也不愿排着整齐的队伍下楼。

“安全”这个词，我们天天在说，可要真正做到，却很难，但我们可以去避免“安全事故”的发生。

One day I was on my way home while I saw a crowd getting around. I went over curiously. I was very much shocked at the sight. There lied an old man who seemed to be knocked down by a car. The driver had got away. But the strangest thing to me was that so many people were just stood there watching. No one wanted to help. Just at that time, there came a young man. He quickly took the man in his arms and rushed towards the hospital. I was wondering whether those standers-by, maybe including me, blushed with shame at this sight.

那天，在放学回家的路上，我看到一群人围在一起。我好奇地走上前一看，不由得大吃了一惊。原来有个老人被汽车撞倒了，司机逃跑了。那么多人都站在一旁，没有一个人想伸出援助之手。这时有个小伙子跑过去，抱起那个人，冲开人群就往医院跑。看到这一幕，其他人会不会羞愧得脸都红了呢?

Deep Wounds of the Sichuan Quake

四川地震的深度创伤

Deep Wounds of the Sichuan Quake

One of the recurring themes from last years earthquake in Sichuan is official corruption and the extent it contributed to the collapse of substandard schools, killing a still unknown number of children. Another, less discussed issue, is the degree to which many local officials in the disaster zone were victims themselves.

自去年四川地震以来，一个反复出现的主题是关于政府官员的腐坏，以及因之产生的未达标学校的倒塌，导致仍不知确切数字的孩子们的死亡。而很少论及的另一个问题，是灾区地方官员自己成为受害者的程度。

In Beichuan, where as many as 15,000 residents were killed, a quarter of the local officials also perished in the quake. Many of the survivors lost family members. When my colleague Lin Yang and photographer Ian Teh went back to Sichuan last fall, we met with a Beichuan official whose wife and daughter were both killed on May 12. Zhang Kangqi keeps a drawing of them, sketched from old ID photos, by his bed. All other mementos of them were buried in Beichuan. （You can see Ians photos of the recovery efforts, including a portrait of Zhang, in this gallery.）

在北川，多达15，000名居民死亡，四分之一的地方官员也在地震中死去。许多幸存者失去了家人。去年秋天，我和同事杨林和摄像郑永仁回到四川时，遇到一位北川官员，他的妻子和女儿都在5.12地震中死亡。张康齐保存着从旧身份证的照片上临摹下来的一张她们的画像，放在床头。她们的其它所有遗物都被埋在北川下面了。（在这个画廊中，你可以看到郑永仁画的在关恢复工作的照片，其中包括一幅张的肖像。）

Zhang immersed himself in recovery efforts, but not all his co-workers had the same capacity to work through their suffering. A few weeks before we visited Dong Yufei, another local official who lost his son, killed himself. "He was a good man," Zhang said of Yu, "but not everyone can handle the pressure. His child had died."

张专注地做着恢复工作，但是，他的同事并不都具有同样的战胜痛苦的能力。在我们采访董玉飞之前几个星期，另一位失去儿子的地方官自杀了。“他是个好人，”张提到玉飞说，“不过，并不是每个人都能应付压力。他的孩子死了。”

Yesterday brought the grim news that another Beichuan official committed suicide. Feng Xiang, the vice director of the Beichuan publicity department, had lost his 7-year-old son in the quake. Shortly before his death Feng, 33, wrote a post on his blog titled "What If," urging his family not to grieve. "Son, when you left, your father did not have a future, did not have hope, did not have any expectations," Feng wrote. "To be with you is my biggest joy."

昨天，又传来一个无情的消息，另一位北川官员自杀了。北川宣传部副主任冯翔在地震中失去了七岁的儿子。33岁的冯翔死前不久在博客中以“假如”为题力劝家人不要悲伤。冯写道：“儿子，你离开了，爸爸没有了未来，没有了希望，没有了憧憬，与你相聚，是爸爸最大的快乐。”

As we all know, the situation of school violence most appears in high school, because the students are in the age of rebellious phase. But recently, the school violence situation is increasing rapidly with a trend of small age among primary and secondary school students. The reason why students become more aggressive than before, I think both parents and school are lay responsibility at this.

In the first place, some parents spoiled their child so much that they won’t let other child to hurt their baby a little bit. And they always teach their child to strive for what they want, but they usually didn’t tell them the exactly right way to achieve their goal. As a result, child chooses the most direct way to get what they want, like use violence. This is a consequence that kids doing something without their parent are the right guidance.

In the second place, most schools focus on the teaching quality too much; hence, they ignore the mental growth of the students. Compare to the student achievement, the bully case really doesnt seem so important, as long as it is not so serious. As a matter of fact, the abuser will become more violent if no one stops them, at the same time, the victim will become weaker or they might also become an abuser to bully the one who are weaker than them.

To speak frankly, only when parents and teachers pay more attention to the mental growth of children and stop the school violent in time, can the problem be solved in near future.

After dinner, my first job was to get the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Then I began to wash them. I turned on the tap and water covered all the dishes in the sink. Then I added some detergent to the water. Maybe I put too much, so it was full of bubbles in the sink. It was just like a bubble bath for dishes and bowls. I caught a bowl to wash. It was slippery. "Pang!" The bowl slipped from my fingers. It dropped into the sink and broke another bowl and a dish. It was terrible! There was only one dish left.In the end, my mother cleared the pieces and helped me clean the dishes. I think Ill do a better job next time.

Wenchuan, is the name of each of us.

You Yuan in the sound of the whistle Chuishou mime legislature, the May meeting of rain and tears. This is Huibie the 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 Xi Yan be aware of the warm days.

Because Wenchuan, I think one of the Tangshan. I was not surprised: 32 after the Tangshan earthquake, whether living or deceased, then there are all full. 32, Tangshan, there have been numerous Festivals, social, collective, the family, and even the soul. It is no longer just parting and sorrow, and become friends and relatives meet with the blessing of the world. Tangshan earthquake to 240,000 lives lost, but it left a name of "Tangshan" a complete life. Wenchuan contributions to the disaster areas who billion in Tangshan orphans, and let you see life on the ruins of the growth.

Todays Wenchuan Festivals, it is only a short farewell. Life, not just breathing and heartbeat. Shenglisibie, not the lives of the border. Pro-people did not leave, everything will continue. Liaoliang in the ruins of the baby crying sound, called a "Wenchuan" new life, born today.

Alive, it is not easy. Better use of the "alive" comfort their loved ones, to have GREater courage and wisdom. Today is the earthquake relief eighth day, the severe test on January 1 is approaching, we need more reserved emotional and the rational Mingche.

To all the deceased rest in peace!

Requests all the health, wiped away tears, to continue!

When we were celebrating our mid autumn festival, across the ocean, the relatives of the victims of the 9. 11 tragedy were holding each other, crying, blessing for their love and all the survivors. Its not only a tragedy for American people, but also for the global community.

The event of September 11th, 2001 continues to change the world in ways we have to experience or comprehend. Every disaster can awaken some spirit, and this time it aroused the deepest echo from peoples hearts. The calling can be heard from the ruin for the millions who bear witness to their memory.

Never can be another time that heroes are so demanded.Seeing the collapse of the WTC, many people just stood in shock, crying in fears. The black smoke rising against the blue sky covered the sun over the people, and tore up the faith down in their hearts as well. Man is supported by the courage to carry on. It is obvious that the heroes in the calamity, dying just doing what they do, rebuild the dignity on the severely wounded ones.Everyone remembers the firemen dashing up the stairs while there are loads of people running down the stairs in the WTC.Also on Flight 93, 40 people, not even knowing one anothers name, came together to help protect the country.

The whole nation memorizes all those sacrificed; regard them as the heroes,no matter what they have contributed. As their tiny deeds to gether let the nation see signs to recover, to go through the very hard time. Now everyones life is surrounded by the heroes and new heroes are being born out of the tragedy...

One of the most touching story in the devastating time was that one husband sent a sms, just saying "I love you", to his dear one on the crashing plane. It echoed in everyones emotion senses. Love is the greatest gift that God gave us. It can really help to heal mans wound. Couples, friends, all went out, wandering together in the dawn, seeing the sun set for the first time in their ages.

Without their jobs, they came to realize the meaning of peaceful life and learn what they need most was the love from the people around them. We learn to appreciate others love and sending ours in return. Thank God we have some ones to love. Thank God the disaster calls us up for the meaning of love.

Another word most frequently used after that September day is "united". Regardless of races, all were collecting, standing in lines to give their blood, holding hands when making prayers. Strangers no longer were cold. They began to talk and might become friends. The distance between people seems to be shortened. If you call it magic, it does happen! The circle of our life cannot still be fixed in the certain area any more. The community is made up of every person living in it;no one alone should stand for the collectivity. Its high time to be united to rebuild their homeland.

Facing the ruin of the WTC, I hear the calling telling me what really matters. Looking up to heaven, I seem to get some kind of answers.

Favorite This simple ten words, give infinite power of Chinese people, especially for I but the speech is also a kind of strong spirit to encourage, this is the slogan of the Olympic game of 2008 Pekings.

Recently，the incident of Sanlu milk powder has become the focus of peoples attention. According to the investigation of related departments，the powder was found to contain a chemical called C3N6H6 which can cause great damage to infants health. So far，four children have died and approximately 54，000 have developed illness after drinking the milk.

From this incident，we can see that there are still more things to be done. Firstly，the government needs everything possible to ensure the quality of products，particularly the safety of food as this concerns everyones life. Secondly，as for the producers，it is very important for them to be morally honest. They should never try to pursue profit or economic growth at the expense of health and life of people. Thirdly，we consumers must attach importance to the things we eat and develop an awareness of how to protect our legal rights if cheated. Only in this way will we be able to build a more secure and harmonious society.

最近,三鹿奶粉的事件已经成为人们的关注的焦点。根据有关部门的调查,发现粉含有一种化学物质叫做C3N6H6能对婴儿的健康造成很大伤害。到目前为止,四个孩子已经死亡,大约54000人喝牛奶后发病。

从这个事件中,我们可以看到,还有更多的事情要做。首先,政府需要一切可能来确保产品的质量,尤其是食品的安全这个问题每个人的生活。其次,生产者,这对他们是非常重要的道德诚实。他们不应该试图追求利润或经济增长以牺牲人的健康和生命。第三,我们消费者必须重视我们所吃的东西和发展的意识如何保护我们的合法权利如果骗了。只有用这种方法我们能够建设一个更加安全和和谐社会。

The theme of Expo 2010 is “Better City, Better Life”。

上海世博会的主题是“城市，让生活更美好”。

Why do we set this theme?

为什么会确立这个主题呢?

The core value can be interpreted as following: The City, built by people, has been evolving and growing into an organic system. People are the most dynamic cells with the best ability to innovatein this system. People’s life is closely interactive with the urban morphology and development.

With the raped urbanization, a more extensive relationship and interaction has been established between the city organic system and earth’s biosphere and resource system. People, city and earth are just like three organic systems linking with each other and fusing into the integrity

throughout the whole process of urban development.

其核心思想可以这样理解：城市史人创造的，它不断地演进、演化和成长为一个有机系统。人是这个有机系统中最具活力和最富有创新能力的细胞。人的生活与城市的形态和发展密切互动。随着城市化进程的加速，城市的有机系统与地球大生物圈和资源体系之间相互作用也日益加深和扩大。人、城市和地球三个有机系统环环相扣，这种关系贯穿了城市发展的历程，三者也将日益融合成为一个不可分割的整体。

For further reflect of the theme "Better City, Better Life", five sub-themes are defined;they are "Blending of Diverse Cultures in the City","Economic Prosperity of the City","Innovation of Science and Technology in the City", "Remodeling of Urban Communities", and "Rural-urban Interaction".

为了更好地理解“城市，让生活更美好”，上海世博会还设有五个副主题分别是“城市多元文化的融合”、“城市经济的繁荣”、“城市科技的创新”、“城市社区的重塑”、“城市和乡村的互动”。

I was a child Aba, examinations of the Chengdu University of the Southwest University of Finance and Economics.

Yesterday afternoon, and I always like sitting in their dorm room, ready to classes on the afternoon of a sudden, a while obviously felt the shake, and then I immediately from the reaction, shouting out: "Earthquake!" With a female dormitory probably not Reaction from, surprised at me and asked: "What!" Voice soon, the bedroom floor, has been keen shaking up, because I live in the girls bedroom, fifth floor, and bedroom area of relatively large, so is feeling very strong, almost Standing instability, along with Weng Weng Sheng,…… cabinets on the table to start things out below, I thought…… quick collapse of the house!

I Benchu bedroom door, dormitory building came girls panic sounds……

My first reaction was running toilet, the toilet because of the relatively small frame, but from a sudden reaction. Our hostel is a collective toilet area than the bedroom are also some big panic, I do not know aisle in which the girls called out: "drilling under the table!" I reaction from immediately back bedroom with drilling on the computer under the table. Under the table, I immediately called her roommate also under the table, but she has disappeared, this time I only house one person, accompanied by a drastic shake, I looked at the table under the bed shaking and suddenly think: " I also do not want to die ah! "

This time seems to be shaking a little bit better, I go all out for his calm, that should not be very serious, and then outside the bedroom door, crying next to a friend, did not expect she disappeared……

Then I speed the return of dormitory, Nahao keys, bag, close the bedroom door, and then with the crowd Xialou.

This has shocked when drawing to a close.

Xialou run, all the girls dormitory below, friends and roommates are safe, my friend is to phone, but could not see me down, she was pleased. Later we went to the relative safety of the spacious, sunny square of the school started to discuss the issue of the earthquake, the phone completely unreasonable.

Friends said: "Mobile is not to say that in the Himalayas have signals on them……" She said she took Xialou the student cards Khan…… NDS has also brought me to see all the people Are playing out in the telephone, then perhaps more than telephones

Commissary of the phone cards are sold out

The bank teller who is also a long line of the team, although there are disturbing, but everyone together, let me feel at ease. Later, we take things back to the bedroom, she was wearing slippers, go back and change, did not expect the unit first arrived, the ground began to shake with the speed we end things, the withdrawal and return to the Sunshine Plaza! Friends and I Started discussions on the issue of earthquake!

We analyzed, Chengdu certainly not the epicenter, and then she said that the epicenter may Xichang side, I suddenly of a heart Jiling, which will not be the Aba side! Heart has begun unrest, a friend using a mobile phone Internet barely started to help me check the earthquake information……

This time the people have been found next to, to listen to him said: "Wenchuan!" Is Wenchuan! ! This扎the same name as the knife in my heart, Wenchuan! I GREw up in small places! My home! My mother is still there! I asked the person-the past, he said: "Wenchuan, 7.6 earthquake in Tangshan, and almost" the moment I have Meng, fell into the hands of the cups to the ground. Then I began to frantically phone, unreasonable……

Mother fighting to stop, could not use a landline, a cell phone……

At that time, I thought, I have to go back, I have to go back! !

Later, in the plane of the dial in Barkam, the father of the telephone, immediately feel at ease the minds of many, he has not news, but nothing……

I am anxious to spend in the afternoon to evening, the school issued an order to prohibit students back bedroom, so we all sleep in the square, we very good mentality, playing poker, playing computer, tents, mats blankets, food, We are ready to put a square in the audio, broadcast earthquake in the relevant circumstances

I can not under the heart, the only non-stop the call, and then ah! Then ah! Each time a busy tone I was disappointed on the one night I played no fewer than 100, the occasional-be: "I am sorry, you are temporarily unable to dial the phone connected!" Now every section of the news affects all of my Heart……

I have been praying in his heart, on God, must let my mother without incident, I Wenchuan in exchange for it, let my mother come in here! Wenchuan all the relatives, friends, Come on! You must be OK! Also my mother! Hope that we pray for them!

2008-05-215.12四川汶川地震一年祭 让我们一同悼念祈福

我是一个阿坝州的孩子，大学考中了成都的西南财经大学。

昨天下午，我和往常一样坐在寝室里，准备去上下午的课，突然，感觉到一阵明显的抖动，然后我立刻反应过来了，大叫一声：“地震!”同寝室一个女生大概还没反应过来，吃惊的看着我，问：“什么!”话音刚落，寝室楼已经剧烈的摇晃了起来，由于我住在女生寝室五楼，并且寝室面积比较大，于是感觉很是强烈，几乎站立不稳，伴随着翁翁声，……桌上柜子上的东西开始往下面掉;我心想……房子快塌了!

我奔出寝室门，寝室楼里传来女生们慌张的叫声……

我第一反应是跑厕所，因为厕所的间架结构比较小，但是突然反应过来。我们的宿舍是集体厕所的，面积比寝室还大正有些慌乱，不知道走道里哪个女生叫了一声：“钻桌子下!”我反应过来，立刻跑回寝室钻到了电脑桌下。下了桌子后，我立刻叫室友也下桌子，但是她已经不知去向，这时候房子里只剩下我一个人，伴随着剧烈的抖动，我在桌子下看着摇晃的床，突然想：“我还不想死啊!”

这时候摇晃似乎要好一点了，我拼命让自己冷静，说，应该不是很严重的，然后跑出寝室门，喊隔壁的好友，没想到她也不知去向……

然后我速度的返回寝室，拿好钥匙，包，关上寝室门，然后随着人群下楼。

这时候震动已经接近尾声。

跑下楼时候，女生寝室的所有人都在下面了，好友和室友都安全，好友正在给我电话，但是不通，看我下来，她很高兴。后来我们到了相对安全的宽敞地，学校的阳光广场开始讨论地震的问题，手机完全不通。

好友还说了一句：“移动不是说在喜马拉雅山上都有信号嘛……”她还说她下楼把学生证拿了汗……还把NDS也带上了我看到所有的人都掏出电话在打，然后公用电话也许多人····

小卖部的电话卡都卖完了··

银行取款的人也排成了长队，虽然有不安，但是和大家在一起，让我安心。后来我们又回了寝室拿东西，她穿的是拖鞋，回去换，没想到刚到寝室，地面又开始抖动·····我们速度拿完东西，撤离，回到阳光广场!我和好友开始讨论关于地震的问题!

我们分析得出，成都肯定不是震中，然后她说震中可能在西昌那边，我突然心中一个激灵，该不会是阿坝那边吧!心已经开始不安起来，好友用手机勉强上网开始帮我查地震的信息……

这时候旁边的人已经查到了··，听他说：“是汶川!”是汶川!!这三个字像尖刀一样扎在我心里，汶川!我从小长大的地方!我的家!我妈妈还在那里!我冲过去追问那人情况，他说：“汶川，7.6级大地震，和唐山差不多”那一刻我都懵了，手中的水杯掉到了地上。然后我开始疯狂的电话，不通……

给妈妈打，不停的，不通，用座机打，手机打……

我当时心想，我要回去，我要回去!!

后来，在座机里拨通了位于马尔康的爸爸的电话，心里顿时安心了许多，他也没消息，但是他没事……

我就在焦急中度过了下午，到了晚上，校方发出命令，禁止学生回寝室，于是大家都在广场露宿，大家心态很好，打扑克的，玩电脑的，帐篷的，席子毛毯，吃的，大家都有准备，广场中放了一个音响，在播放地震的相关情况··

我却无法安下心来，所作的只有不停的打电话，接啊!接啊!每一次忙音我心里就失望一次，那晚我打了不下上百次，偶尔的通都是：“对不起，您所拨打的电话暂时无法接通!”现在新闻消息的每一段都牵动着我的心……

我一直在心里祈祷，上天啊，一定要让我妈妈平安无事，把我换回汶川吧，让我妈妈到这里来!汶川的所有亲人们，朋友们，加油!你们一定会没事的!还有我的母亲!希望大家为他们祈祷!

Home to a strong earthquake, the people working outside Xinjirufen. Their first thought is that their loved ones are safe ? How home-like ?

家乡遭受强烈地震，在外打工的人心急如焚。他们的第一个念头就是，亲人可安全?家园怎么样?尽快赶回家，参加抢救，重建家园。但灾害使铁路受阻，火车停运，长途车运力不足，一万多名从各地汇聚到西安中转的四川灾区民工在焦急地等待回家!

情通于心，血浓于水。灾区民工的回家之路牵动着西安人民的心。省委书记赵乐际、省长袁纯清在第一时间作出了重要指示，西安市委、市政府立即作出了部署，要求动员一切可以动员的力量，迅速组织全市运力，以最快的速度送民工返乡。

Shanghai will host the 2010 World Expo. The World Expo has a long history but it has never been held in Asia. So the 2010 World Expo is an honor for all of the Asians. Our government has promised that it will be the best one. And Shanghai, as a host city, will have more chances to develop quickly. As a student in Shanghai, I should learn English well so that I can be a volunteer in the Expo to help foreigners know more about Shanghai.

上海将举办2010年世博会。世博会有着悠久的历史，但从未在亚洲举行。因此，2010年世博会，是对亚洲人的荣誉。我国政府已作出承诺，这将是最好的之一。而上海作为主办城市，将有更多的机会迅速发展。作为一个在上海的学生，我要学好英语，这样我可以成为世博会志愿者，帮助外国人了解上海的。

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。
