The magnitude-7.4 quake left more than 900 injured. Officials also reported burst water pipes and loss of electricity in some areas near the epicenter. The quake caused the collapse of a roadway linking Hualien with cities to the north and forced several rail lines to pause operations. Chang Li-hsin, a restaurant owner in central Hualien, was preparing to open when the earthquake struck. "Tables and chairs suddenly began shaking," she said. "The menu hung on the wall was shaken off, and a crack appeared in the wall." Chang shouted to her husband in the kitchen and the couple ran out of the restaurant. Dozens of people were already on the street. "I can't remember the last time there was a quake of this magnitude," Chang said. Ma Chin-hsiung, a 52-year-old Hualien resident, said he wasn't hurt by the quake, but the shaking knocked his television onto the floor and broke it. He went ahead with his grocery shopping and found that a wall had collapsed at the market he frequents, though many vendors were still operating. "There are too many unpredictable situations, but we must still do the necessary shopping," Ma said. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.earthquake英 [ˈɜːθkweɪk] 美 [ˈɜrːθkweɪk] n. _________________________________ 2.quake n/v. _________________________________ 3.kill英 [kɪl] 美 [kɪl] v. _________________________________ 4.hit英 [hɪt] 美 [hɪt] v. _________________________________ 5.partially英 [ˈpɑːʃli] 美 [ˈpɑːrʃli] adv. ________________________________
