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 crashed① into coastlines across Asia yesterday，killing more than 6，500 people in Indonesia，India，Thailand，Malaysia，and at least②four other countries．【1】 Fishermen，tourists，hotels，homes，and cars were swept③ away by huge waves④caused by the strong earthquake that reached a magnitude of 9.0．【2】 The undersea quake struck⑤ around 7：00 a．m．，Sunday off the west coast of⑥ Indonesia's Sumatra Island．In that area alone，at least 1，870 people were killed．
【1】句中that引導定語從句，修飾先行詞a tsunami；killing more than 6，500 people．．．為動詞 ing形式作結果狀語。
【2】句中caused by the strong earthquake為過去分詞短語作名詞waves的后置定語；that引導定語從句，修飾先行詞the strong earthquake。
In Sri Lanka，some 1，600 kilometres⑦west of the quake centre，the number of deaths⑧stood at 2，498，and one million more were affected by the tsunami，government officials said．Indian officials said as many as⑨ 1，900 had been killed along the southern coast．【3】 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 safety⑩，” said Chandra Theeravit，a local Thai woman．
【3】句中said后是省略了that的賓語從句。
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 tsunami hit countries．However，dangerous conditions and damaged roads will make it difficult to deliver food and supplies．
海嘯襲擊亞洲：6 500余人喪生
羅伯特·伍德豪斯　星期一　2004年12月27日
昨日，40年來最為強烈的地震引發海嘯，重創亞洲沿海地帶，造成印度尼西亞、印度、泰國、馬來西亞和至少其他四個國家6 500多人死亡。漁民、游客、酒店、住房和汽車都被高達9.0級強震所引發的巨浪卷走。海嘯巨浪由周日上午7時許發生在印度尼西亞蘇門答臘島西岸附近海域的海底地震引發。僅該地區就有至少1 870人死亡。
政府官員稱，在斯里蘭卡，震中以西約1 600千米處，死亡人數高達2 498人，另有100多萬人受到海嘯的影響。印度官員稱，南部海岸地區有多達1 900人喪生。泰國另有254人死亡，其他三個國家有54人喪生。當地官員表示，泰國南部有1 900人受傷，失蹤人數則更多。泰國當地的一位婦女錢德拉·特拉維說：“當時我和三個孩子正在吃早飯，海水開始灌入屋內。我們只好扔下一切，跑到安全地帶。”
仍有成千上萬人失蹤，預計在未來幾天死亡人數還將增加。目前正在為這些受災國家組織國外援助。然而，由于條件險惡和道路受損，食物運送和物資補給將非常困難。

海嘯襲擊亞洲：
6 500余人喪生
羅伯特·伍德豪斯　星期一　2004年12月27日
昨日，40年來最為強烈的地震引發海嘯，重創亞洲沿海地帶，造成印度尼西亞、印度、泰國、馬來西亞和至少其他四個國家6 500多人死亡。漁民、游客、酒店、住房和汽車都被高達9.0級強震所引發的巨浪卷走。海嘯巨浪由周日上午7時許發生在印度尼西亞蘇門答臘島西岸附近海域的海底地震引發。僅該地區就有至少1 870人死亡。
政府官員稱，在斯里蘭卡，震中以西約1 600千米處，死亡人數高達2 498人，另有100多萬人受到海嘯的影響。印度官員稱，南部海岸地區有多達1 900人喪生。泰國另有254人死亡，其他三個國家有54人喪生。當地官員表示，泰國南部有1 900人受傷，失蹤人數則更多。泰國當地的一位婦女錢德拉·特拉維說：“當時我和三個孩子正在吃早飯，海水開始灌入屋內。我們只好扔下一切，跑到安全地帶。”
仍有成千上萬人失蹤，預計在未來幾天死亡人數還將增加。目前正在為這些受災國家組織國外援助。然而，由于條件險惡和道路受損，食物運送和物資補給將非常困難。
謝 謝！
