SHANGHAI – A series of strong earthquakes hit the edge of the Tibetan plateau in western China Wednesday morning, killing about 300 people and injuring more than 8,000, according to state television.
上海——据官方电台报道，中国西部西藏高原边缘遭受系列强震，造成约300人死亡，8000多人受伤。
A magnitude 7.1 temblor struck shortly before 8 a.m. in a remote, mountainous area near the border between China's Qinghai province and the Tibet Autonomous Region, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
The U.S. Geological Survey said it recorded a 6.9 magnitude quake in southern Qinghai followed by two other temblors in the region.
新华社报道，早上八点钟不到，青海与西藏边界的偏远山区发生了7.1级地震。美国地质调查声称在这个区域另两次地震后它记录了一次发生在青海南部的6.9级地震。
In Yushu prefecture, an area predominantly inhabited by ethnic Tibetans, witnesses said that many houses had collapsed, according to state media. The prefecture has a population of about 252,000 people, about 97% of whom are Tibetan.
根据官方报道，目击者称在玉树县——一个藏族占主导地位的区域，许多房屋都坍塌了。该县有约2520004人，约97%是藏族人。
A prefecture official quoted by Xinhua said that in the town of Jiegu near the quake's epicenter, more than 85% of houses had been knocked down by the quake. Rescuers were digging through the ruble by hand to try to find survivors, Xinhua said.
新华社报道，县里一名官员说靠近震中的结古镇超过85%的房屋都被地震毁坏了。救援人员用手挖废墟以找到幸存者。
``Many are buried in the collapsed houses, and there are still lots of others who are injured and being treated at local hospitals,'' the local official, Zhuohuaxia told Xinhua. He said local authorities needed excavating equipment and medical supplies.
“许多人被埋在倒塌的房屋里，也有很多人受伤并在当地医院接受治疗”，当地官员卓华夏告诉新华社。他也说当地政府需要挖掘设备和医疗器械。
Guo Yang, a resident of Jiegu interviewed by phone, said: "It is the most devastating thing I've ever seen.'' Mr. Guo said nearly all the homes in the town had collapsed. ``We are busy with rescuing people who are trapped," he said.
Hundreds of People's Armed Police were on the scene searching collapsed buildings and thousands more rescuers had been dispatched to the area, state media said.
郭阳——结古镇居民，接受采访时说：“这是我见过的最有毁灭性的事件。”郭说镇上几乎所有的房子都倒塌了。“我们正忙于拯救被困的人们。”
Earthquakes are a frequent occurrence on the Tibetan plateau, but there are usually few casualties because the area is so sparsely populated. A massive earthquake in May 2008 in Sichuan, in southwestern China, however, left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing.
在西藏高原地震频繁发生，但通常很少有遇难者，因为这里人烟稀少。然而，2008年5月，位于中国西南的四川发生大规模地震，致使将近9万人死亡或失踪。 |
