A powerful earthquake struck the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok on Sunday, killing at least 82 people and shaking neighboring Bali, one week after another quake on Lombok killed more than a dozen. 周日,一场强烈的地震袭击了印度尼西亚旅游岛龙目岛,造成至少82人死亡并震动邻近的巴厘岛,这距离龙目岛上的另一次地震造成十多人死亡仅仅一周。 The latest quake, which triggered a brief tsunami warning, damaged buildings as far away as Denpasar on Bali, including a department store and the airport terminal, where ceiling panels were shaken loose, authorities said. 当局表示,最新的地震引发了短暂的海啸预警,造成巴厘岛登巴萨远处的建筑物受损,其中包括一家百货公司和机场航站楼的天花板松动。 Video showed screaming people running in panic from houses in a Bali neighborhood and vehicles rocking. On Lombok, soldiers and other rescuers carried injured people on stretchers and carpets to an evacuation center. 视频显示尖叫的人们在巴厘岛附近的房屋和车辆摇摆中惊慌失措。在龙目岛,士兵和其他救援人员将受伤人员挪到担架和地毯上并送往疏散中心。 National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said the toll had risen 82 with hundreds others were injured. Earlier officials said at least 39 people had died. 国家减灾局发言人Sutopo Purwo Nugroho说,伤亡人数增加至82人,另有数百人受伤。早些时候的官员说至少有39人死亡。 A total of 65 of the deaths in North Lombok district, nine in West Lombok district, four in the provincial capital Mataram and two each in Central Lombok and East Lombok districts, Nugroho said. Nugroho说,北龙目岛地区共有65人死亡,龙目岛西部有9人,省会马塔兰有4人,龙目岛中部和东龙目地区各有2人死亡。 Thousands of houses were damaged, and most of the dead victims were hit by collapsed houses, Nugroho said. Nugroho说,成千上万的房屋遭到破坏,大部分受害者都被倒塌的房屋击中而死。 The quake, recorded at magnitude 7.0 by the U.S. Geological Survey, struck early Sunday evening at a depth of 6 miles in the northern part of Lombok. 美国地质调查局的记录显示,该地震为7.0级,于周日晚间在龙目岛北部6英里深处发生。 “I was watching TV when I felt a big shake,” said Harian, a Lombok woman who uses one name. “The lamp was shaking, and people were shouting ‘Get out.’ I ran out into the dark because the power cut off.” “我当时正在看电视,突然感到巨大的震荡,”一个名字叫Harian的龙目岛女性说。 “灯在晃动,人们大声喊叫’出去。’当时停电了,我急忙跑到一片漆黑的外面去。” A tsunami warning was lifted after waves just 6 inches high were recorded in three villages, said Dwikorita Karnawati, the head of Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency. 印度尼西亚气象学和气象地球物理研究所负责人Dwikorita Karnawati说,在三个村庄记录了仅仅6英寸高的海浪后,海啸警报被取消。
