December,a series of? huge waves caused by an undersea earthquake raced across the ocean near Goldshore and left thousands dead.Goldshore Beach was the only local beach to survive the disaster without any loss of life.A 10-year-old girl,Sabrina Andron,helped around 100 people escape danger with her knowledge of tsunamis.The day began like any other on Goldshore Beach.People were walking,running or simply sitting on the sandy beach,enjoying the warm sea air and the soft wind that brushed their hair.Sabrina was one of the happy tourists until she noticed something odd?.“The water was like the bubbles?on the top of a beer,” she later explained.“It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out.It was just coming in and in and in.”Sabrina had just learnt about tsunamis in a Geography lesson.It immediately occurred to?her that these were signs of an approaching tsunami.[2][2]It occurred to sb.that...結(jié)構(gòu),表示“某人突然想到……”。其中,it 為形式主語,真正的主語是that從句。Sabrina was frightened,but she soon kept her head.She warned her parents of the danger,though at first they just thought she was joking.However,Sabrina was certain that a terrible disaster was on its way and kept asking her parents to talk to a safety officer.To her great relief,the officer immediately realized the coming danger.The beach was rapidly cleared of people,just before the huge waves crashed into the coast.譯文參考弗爾蒙特地震中幸免于難的學(xué)生雷蒙德·特蘭3月18日弗爾蒙特——3月17日下午2點27分,弗爾蒙特小學(xué)的476名學(xué)生和36名教師逃脫了地震的襲擊。盡管目前整個災(zāi)區(qū)總體的傷亡數(shù)字是7人死亡,200多人受傷,但(在這所學(xué)校)只有5名學(xué)生受了輕傷。弗爾蒙特小學(xué)的校長愛麗絲·布朗正在上課,突然地板開始搖晃起來。她的學(xué)生們反應(yīng)迅速、正確——他們頭朝里,爬到課桌下面,并緊緊抓住桌腿。與此同時,布朗小姐迅速打開了教室的門,以防在地震中損壞而無法打開。盡管玻璃破碎和物體落地發(fā)出陣陣巨響,但是學(xué)生們?nèi)匀灰粍硬粍樱林察o地等待著。震動一停止,布朗小姐就感覺到這是全班同學(xué)逃跑的最佳時機。她示意學(xué)生們抱著頭,排好隊,有序離開教室。在1分20秒內(nèi),全班同學(xué)走下樓梯,沖向操場。很快,其他班的學(xué)生也來了。點名確認(rèn)所有人都安然無恙后,他們才放松下來,笑啊,哭啊,互相擁抱著。布朗小姐說:“我們每年練習(xí)兩次地震安全逃生程序,所以孩子們在地震中都足夠冷靜,能夠保護自己?!?/span>女孩在海嘯中救了100人杰西·凱布爾12月21日紐代爾市——12月20日,由海底地震引起的一排排巨浪急速沖過金海岸附近的海面,造成數(shù)千人死亡。在這場災(zāi)難中,金海岸海灘是當(dāng)?shù)匚ㄒ粵]有人員傷亡的海灘。一個10歲的女孩,名字叫薩布麗娜·安德龍,用她有關(guān)海嘯的基本知識幫助大約100人逃離了危險。和往常一樣,這一天在金海岸開始了。人們走著,跑著,或者只是坐在沙灘上,享受著溫暖的海風(fēng)和拂過他們頭發(fā)的微風(fēng)。薩布麗娜是這些快樂的游客中的一個,直到她注意到了一些奇怪的現(xiàn)象。“海水像啤酒上面的泡沫,”她后來解釋說,“它很不平靜,不是形成后破滅。它只是在不斷地形成。”薩布麗娜剛剛在地理課上學(xué)習(xí)了關(guān)于海嘯的知識。她立刻意識到這些是海嘯來臨的征兆。薩布麗娜很害怕,但很快就保持了鎮(zhèn)靜。她警告她的父母有危險,盡管一開始他們認(rèn)為她是在開玩笑。然而,薩布麗娜確信可怕的災(zāi)難即將來臨,堅持要父母去告訴安全員。使她大為寬慰的是,這名安全員立即意識到了即將到來的危險。在巨浪撞擊海岸之前,就把海灘上的人疏散了。
