As many of you know, Japan has recently experienced massive earthquakes and subsequent disasters along the northeastern part of Japan. The recent event in Japan is an example of how terrible earthquakes can be.
正如许多人所知道的，日本不久前刚刚经历了极其强烈的地震，结果在日本东北地区造成了严重的灾难。日本发生的这一事件是一个鲜活的例证，说明了地震是多么的可怕。
This earthquake along the east coast of Japan is just one of nearly a million that happen every year all over the world. Asia has a history of huge earthquakes within its borders. An earthquake in Japan in 1923 took 160,000 lives. In China in 1920 an earthquake took 200,000 lives.
在日本东北沿海发生的这场地震只不过是每年在全世界所发生的将近100万次地震中的一次。亚洲有历史记载说，在其边界以内发生过多次大地震。1923年发生在日本的地震夺走了16万人的生命。1920年一场大地震发生在中国，20万人死亡。
What causes these earthquakes? To answer this question we must first understand some things about the earth itself. Deep inside the earth we encounter the earth's outer layer. It is so hot here that instead of finding hard rock we find molten lava. It is this part of the earth's crust we are concerned about when we seek the cause of earthquakes. The earth's crust is composed of many different layers of rocks. These layers of rocks are not laid evenly, as a bricklayer would build a wall. On the contrary, areas of the earth's crust are irregular and weak. As a result of the great stress that is put on these parts of the crust, the rock beds fold down towards the earth's core, which results in unstable spots along the earth's crust. This instability results in breaks along the crust. When a break occurs, or when two different sides of the crust rub against each other, the result is an earthquake.
是什么原因造成了这些地震？要回答这个问题，我们必须首先要了解关于地球自身的某些事物。进入地球深处，是地球外壳的边缘。此处非常之热，如同火山喷出的岩浆般的物质替代了坚硬的岩石。若我们寻求地震的原因，这里的地壳深处恰恰是我们应该关心的地带。地壳由很多不同岩石层构成。而这些岩层并不像建筑工人建的墙一样均匀地平整铺开。相反的，岩层构成的地壳也往往是不均匀的且非常薄弱。由于巨大重量向下压挤这里的岩层，这样的压挤使它趋于朝着地心方向往下折叠，引起地壳某些地方的不稳定。这种不稳定最后将造成地壳里的某处断裂。当断裂发生时，或者当两块不同的地壳边缘彼此摩擦碰撞时，其结果就是地震。
Geologists would like to be able to predict earthquakes accurately by using laser beams, gravity-measuring devices and some other devices. Should predictions of a quake in the future be accurate, many people may be able to save both their lives and their property.
地质学家门希望能够通过利用激光束、重力测量装置和其它设备来准确地预测地震。如果真的能够做到准确预告地震的发生，许多人的生命和财产就能得到保全。
