A Horrible Earthquake 可怕的地震 Dirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one judged that an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed as if the world was at an end. Millions of brick houses and a number of dams were destroyed. Railway tracks became useless bars. Pipes in mines burst and let out smelly steam. Huge cracks trapped cyclists everywhere. Thev next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the reporters giving an outline of the disaster, the whole nation was shocked by the damage and the victim’s extreme suffering. Pepole were moved when they read that the survivors comforted each other by saying “Congratulations! You survived!”. So they not only expressed their sympathy sincerely, but also organized together to help the cictims right away. The injured were rescued and the dead were buried. The frihgtened survivors were dug out from under the ruins and were offered shelter, fresh water and electricity. Thanks to pepole’s help, the loss was minimized. 地震前，水井和运河里的污水都涨涌起来。但是却没人判断出地震即将来临。霎那间，一切都在摇晃，似乎整个世界就要结束。数以百万的砖房和许多水坝遭到破坏；铁路轨道都变成无用的铁条；煤矿管道纷纷爆裂，发出有臭味的蒸汽；到处都有骑车的人被巨大的裂缝陷住。 第二天，所有报纸都纷纷以大字标题或主要标题报道了这一事件。记者们描述了灾难的大概情况，全国都被地震的破坏和灾民们极度的苦难所震惊。当人们读到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你还活着。”来互相安慰时，都被感到了。人们不仅衷心地表达了他们的同情，而且还立刻组织起来帮助灾民。伤员被救助了，死者被埋葬了，吓坏的幸存者被从废墟中挖出来了，栖身处、净水和电力也很快得到提供。多亏了人们的帮助，灾区的损失被减到了最小。 重点词汇解析： ? dirty adj.恶劣的；?肮脏的；?卑劣的；?下流的 vt.弄脏，污染；?使名声受玷污 vi.变脏，污染； 常用短语： do the dirty on someone ?欺骗某人 play dirty ?做事不诚实（或不公平） talk dirty ?讲下流话 dirty trick?卑鄙手段 词语辨析： 这组词都有“脏的，污秽的”的意思 nasty?主要指特别讲究清洁的人感到讨厌的东西。 dirty?普通用词，泛指被玷污或弄脏。 foul?指由于腐烂、恶臭等造成的不干净，令人恶心。 ? well? adv.好；?很；?好意地；?高高兴兴地 adj.健康的；?井的；?良好的；?恰当的 n.泉；?源泉；?水井；vi.（液体）涌出；?流出；?涌流；?涌上vt.涌出，喷出； 常用短语： as well as?也；和…一样；不但…而且 do well in?在……某方面干得好 well off?富裕的；处境好的 well over?涌出，溢出 , 溢出，流出，涌出： well up?涌出；流露；萌发 go well with?协调；和…很相配 well out?打得好；溢出 词语辨析： 这些形容词均含健康的，强健的之意 healthy?: 指身体无病，也可指身心健全、正常的。 sound?: 侧重身体各部分或器官没有病，无任何缺陷，即健康。 robust?: 强调身体强健。 well?: 仅指没有疾病，但不一定很健康。
