余震的担心让幸存者露宿街头

2008年5月20日 星期二 《AM》节目
TONY EASTLEY: Thousands of people across south-western China spent the night outdoors because of fears of a major aftershock from last week's massive earthquake. People have taken bedding, furniture, clothes and other possessions out of their homes looking for safe open ground. At Mianyang, the Women and Children's Hospital has moved patients into the square outside the city's railway station, while thousands more have poured onto the streets of Chengdu - one of the cities badly affected by the original quake. It's now estimated 71,000 people are dead, missing or buried. AM's Stephen McDonell is one of the few foreign journalists to have reached the region around the epicentre of the earthquake from where he filed this report.
托尼•伊斯特利（节目主持人）：由于担心上周发生强烈地震后的大余震，在中国西南上千人露宿街头。人们带上床、家具、衣物和其他私人物品离开家在露天的地方找寻安全的场所。在绵阳，妇幼保健院已经将病人转移到城市火车站外的广场上，与此同时，在第一次地震中严重受损的城市之一成都，更多的人涌向街头。迄今为止估计有7万1千人死亡、失踪或被掩埋。AM的记者斯蒂芬•麦克唐纳是少数几个到达震中附近地区的外国记者之一，从那里他发回了这个报道。
STEPHEN MCDONELL: The picturesque town of Yingxiu was in middle of forest-covered mountains in Wenchuan County. It was a popular place to visit for bushwalkers. Sitting at the epicentre of last week's powerful earthquake it was destroyed in two minutes flat when the quake hit. The survivors were cut off from the outside world without electricity or the means to rescue people caught under the rubble. Thousands of Chinese troops have since gone in - some in helicopters, some in boats, others walking.
斯蒂芬•麦克唐纳：风景如画的映秀镇座落在汶川县森林覆盖的群山之中。它是热门的徒步旅行之地。由于位于上周发生的强烈地震的震中地区，在地震发生时它在两分钟内被夷为平地。幸存者失去了与外界的联系，没有电，无法救助被埋在废墟下人们。上千人的中国军队现已经开进，有的乘直升飞机，有的坐船到达，其他的依靠步行。
Foreign journalists are being prevented from getting anywhere near the disaster zone. So we walked in for 12 hours over the mountains to get to Yingxiu. What we saw on arrival is a place of utter devastation. Not one building can be preserved. The search for survivors is effectively over. Soldiers in chemical suits are spraying everywhere to prevent an outbreak of disease caused by thousands of dead bodies. They're concentrated around the schools where the dead are many in number. When the earthquake hit there were some 11,000 people in Yingxiu. By the time we arrived there, they had only found 2,400. Imagine living in a place where 80 per cent of the people in your city were simply killed out of the blue.
外国记者被禁止靠近任何危险地带的地方，因此我们步行12小时翻山越岭到达映秀。我们到达后所见到的是一个彻底被摧毁的地方。没有任何一栋保存完好的建筑物。搜寻幸存者的工作已经结束了。身着防化服的士兵们用正在各处喷洒消毒剂，以防止因为几千具尸体导致疾病爆发。由于各学校里人员死亡惨重，他们特别注重在那附近进行喷洒。在地震袭击时映秀镇有1万1千人，然而当我们到达时，那里只找到2千4百名幸存者。想象一下在你居住的城市80％的人突如其来地失去生命。
(Sound of walking on rubble)
（行走在瓦砾上的声音）
Those who remain here have no idea what the future will bring. Some people are walking in the street surrounded by rubble on both sides and staring into space as if they don't know what hit them. We spoke some of the few locals still here living under sheets of plastic or cloth. Many don't know where to go.
尚留在这里的那些幸存者也不知道未来在那里。一些人走在两边满是废墟的街道上，凝视着空地，似乎他们不知道什么重创了他们。我们采访了几位还住在塑料布或布篷下的当地人，许多人都不知道接下来该这么办。
CHINESE GIRL (translated): My grandfather, my aunt and my cousin were all buried. One was in the school. One was at home and one was working over there. CHINESE MAN (translated): What worries me next is a mass outbreak of disease. If the Government handles things well, it shouldn't be a big problem.
中国女孩（翻译）：我家爷爷，小姨和我的侄子都被埋了，一个在学校，一个在家还有一个正走在那里。中国男子（翻译）：下一步我们担心的是就是大规模的疾病爆发。如果政府处理得好的话，这应该不会成为一个大问题。
STEPHEN MCDONELL: At one point we were talking to some of the survivors when a girl about 5-years-old walked up to the ABC's cameraman Rob Hill and gave him a packet of instant noodles. In the depths of the worst misery possible, people are looking after each other and clinging onto their humanity.
斯蒂芬•麦克唐纳：正在我们和几位幸存者交谈时，一名大概5岁左右的小女孩走到ABC的摄影师罗伯•希尔跟前，递给他一包方便面。在面临最严重灾难的时候，人们相互照应，相依为命。
Yingxiu will have to be bulldozed completely and rebuilt from scratch. It's also surrounded by mountains which have shed their skin and continue to crumble down into the valley - boulders the size of caravans have smashed trucks into the ground. It's still a dangerous place to be. At night people sit by the river and burn the clothes of their dead family members - they're mostly children's clothes.
映秀镇将不得不推平重建。这个镇四面环山，周围山体已经松脱并持续崩脱坠入山谷，露营车大小的巨石把卡车砸扁在地上。这里依然是一个危险的地方。夜晚人们坐在河边，焚烧他们死去亲人的衣物——这其中大部分是孩子的衣服。
