英语翻译
Earthquake (地震)!People all around the world fear earthquakes because they cause so much damage and death.Consider the following facts:One earthquake struck San Fernando Valley region of Southern California on January 17,1994.The earthquake caused 57 deaths,over 5,000 injuries,and extensive building damage.In fact some people estimate that the earthquake caused millions of dollars in property damage.That earthquake qualifies as one of the worst natural disasters in U.S.history.
On January 17,1995,the Kobe earthquake struck south-central Japan.This earthquake resulted in over 5,400 deaths and many thousands of injuries.The damage costs were estimated at 150 million dollars.Although this earthquake was only rated as a medium earthquake,it caused so much damage because it produced a fault break straight through the business area of the city.
These statistics are very frightening.Many people wonder if the number of earthquakes is increasing.In reality,the number of earthquakes has actually decreased in recent years.However,because of improved world communication,people receive more news and information than ever before.For example,in the last 20 years,we have been able to locate more earthquakes a year because there are more earthquake measuring stations in the world.These additional stations help us to locate many small earthquakes,which were not noticed years ago.
Many scientists are trying to predict earthquakes,but these predictions are very uncertain.Scientists cannot figure out the exact location,time,or force of an earthquake.Furthermore,the predicted earthquake may not take place.As a result,scientists do not think it is a useful idea to announce that an earthquake will take place on a certain day.Instead,most people are trying to design structures such as buildings,dams,and bridges that can survive earthquakes.People can reduce loss of life,injuries,and property damage by properly preparing themselves,their homes,work places,and communities for a major earthquake.After all,it is possible to survive an earthquake.

地震(?)!人所有在世界恐惧地震附近因为他们非常导致损伤和死亡.考虑以下事实:一次地震触击了圣弗南多南加利福尼亚的谷地区在1994 年1月17 日.地震造成了57 死亡,5,000 伤害,和广泛的大厦损伤.实际上某些人民估计,地震导致了成千上万美元在财产损害.那次地震合格作为最坏的自然灾害的当中一个在美国历史上.在1995 年1月17 日,神户地震触击了中南部的日本.这次地震收效了完全成功5,400 死亡和许多数以万计伤害.损伤费用估计了在150 百万美元.虽然这次地震只对了估计作为一次中等地震,它非常造成了损伤因为它直接导致了一个缺点断裂通过城市的商业区.这些统计是非常惊恐.许多人想知道如果地震的数量增加.实际上,地震的数量近年来实际上减少了.但是,由于改善的世界通信,人们获得更多新闻和信息.为例子,在最近20 年,我们能找出更多地震每年因为有更多地震测量的驻地在世界上.这些另外的驻地帮助我们找出许多小地震,未被注意几年前.许多科学家设法预言地震,但这些预言是非常不定的.科学家无法推测地震的确切的地点、时期,或力量.此外,被预言的地震不能发生.结果,科学家不认为这是一个有用的想法宣布地震将发生在一某一天.反而,多数人民设法设计结构譬如大厦、可能生存地震的水坝,和桥梁.人们能减少丧生、伤害,和财产损害由适当地,他们的家、工作地点,和社区为一次主要地震做准备.终究,它是可能生存地震.
