TSUNAMI HITS ASIA:OVER 6,500 DEAD
By Robert Woodhouse Monday,27 December 2004
The most powerful earthquake in the past 40 years caused a tsunami that crashed into coastlines across Asia yesterday,killing more than 6,500 people in Indonesia,India,Thailand,Malaysia,and at least four other countries. Fishermen,tourists,hotels,homes,and cars were swept away by huge waves caused by the strong earthquake that reached a magnitude of 9.0.The undersea quake struck around 7:00 a.m.Sunday off the west coast of Indonesia's Sumatra Island.In that area alone,at least 1,870 people were killed.
In Sri Lanka,some 1,600 kilometres west of the quake centre,the number of deaths stood at 2,498,and one million more were affected by the tsunami,government officials said.Indian officials said as many as 1,900 had been killed along the southern coast.Another 254 were found dead in Thailand and 54 in three other countries.In southern Thailand,1,900 people were hurt and many more were missing,local officials said.“I was having breakfast with my three children when water started filling my home. We had to leave everything and run to safety,”said Chandra Theeravit,a local Thai woman.
Thousands of people are still missing,and the number of deaths is expected to grow even higher over the next few days.Foreign aid is being organised for the tsunamihit countries.However,dangerous conditions and damaged roads will make it difficult to deliver food and supplies.
本句是复合句,句中“that crashed...yesterday”为定语从句,修饰先行词a tsunami;“killing more than...four other countries”为现在分词短语,作结果状语。
本句是复合句,句中含有“be doing...when...”句型,其中when为并列连词,意为“就在这时”,相当于and at that time。
本句是简单句,其中it为形式宾语,真正的宾语为不定式短语to deliver food and supplies,difficult作宾语补足语。

海啸袭击亚洲:超过
6,500人死亡
罗伯特·伍德豪斯报道
2004年12月27日,星期一
昨日,过去40年来最强烈的地震引发了一场海啸,这次海啸冲击了横穿亚洲的海岸线,导致印度尼西亚、印度、泰国、马来西亚和至少其他四个国家超过6,500人死亡。九级强震引发的巨浪卷走了渔民、游客,冲毁了旅馆、住宅和汽车。周日大约早上七点钟,在印度尼西亚的苏门答腊岛西海岸附近爆发了海底地震。仅在那个地区,就有至少1,870人死亡。
(斯里兰卡)政府官员表示,在斯里兰卡,震中以西约1,600千米处,死亡人数高达2,498人,另有超过一百万人受到海啸的影响。印度政府官员称,在南部海岸线附近有多达1,900人死亡。泰国发现有254个死亡,其他三个国家有54人死亡。当地官员称,在泰国南部,有1,900人受伤,还有更多的人失踪。“我和我的三个孩子正在吃早餐,这时突然水开始灌进我家。我们不得不丢下所有的东西跑到安全的地方,”一个泰国当地的妇女钱德拉·特拉维说道。
还有数千人仍处于失踪状态,预计死亡人数在接下来的几天会持续增多。目前正在为被海啸袭击的国家组织外援。然而,危险的环境和被毁的道路使得运输食物和补给品变得困难。
