A deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquake has hit southeast Turkey, toppling buildings and leaving a trail of disaster in seven Turkish provinces and northern Syria at 4:17 local time on February 6, 2023. Four days after the worst earthquake in the area in two decades struck, the verified death toll exceeds 24,000.
前几天2月6日当地时间凌晨4时17分,土耳其发生两次7.8级地震,多地建筑被夷为平地,震感遍及亚欧非多洲。距离这次大地震已过去4天,目前被证实已超过二万四千人在此次地震中丧命。
出生仅10天的婴儿被成功救出

Both a newborn baby and his mother were rescued from the rubble 90 hours after catastrophe struck. He was 10 days old at the time of his rescue.
在土耳其地震灾难发生后,一个新生儿和他的母亲被从困了90小时后的碎石中成功救了出来。这个小孩子被救出来时,他才出生10天。
从废墟下救出六口之家
A family of six was rescued in Turkey after spending 101 hours trapped beneath the debris. The family managed to survive by huddling together in a small air pocket beneath a collapsed building because the earthquake caused the sea to rise and flood the city center to within feet of where they were trapped.
在废墟下被困了101个小时后,土耳其的一个六口之家被成功救了出来。由于地震造成海平面上升,洪水淹没了市中心,距离他们被困的地方不到几英尺,他们这家人为了生存当时不得不挤在倒塌建筑下的一个小空气袋里保命。
Aftershocks are earthquakes that follow the mainshock of an earthquake sequence. They are smaller than mainshock that is the largest shock.
余震通常紧接着主震而来,比主震要小。主震是指这一次地震中最大的那一次震动。

震中(epicenter)是震源(seismic focus)在地面上的垂直投影处,是一个区域。震源深度(focal depth )是从震源到地面(震中)的垂直距离。地震后还要预防地震次生灾害(seismic secondary disaster),如:海啸(tsunami;seismic sea wave)和泥石流(rock and mud slides)。
大地震后,一般都会有权威部门统计死亡人数(death toll)和幸存者(survivors)人数。搜救犬(sniffer dog;search and rescue dog;rescue dog)会在整个搜救过程中扮演重要的角色。灾后的首要任务是救灾(rescue),然后是灾后重建(recovery effort)。
地震专家(seismologist;quake expert)精通地震学(seismology /sa?z?m?l?d?i/)知识,通常会根据地震仪(seismograph)和地震波来绘画地震图(seismogram)、地震带(seismic belt),或等震线(isoseismal line),从而评估地震震级(earthquake [seismic] magnitude),从而作出地震预报(earthquake prediction;seismological prediction;earthquake forecasting),地震长期预报(long-term earthquake forecast)。
