aftershock 地震余震
对于刚刚发生的夏威夷地震,虽然至今无人员伤亡报道,但因地震引起的山体滑坡、大范围停电事件,仍让夏威夷西海岸的居民惊恐万分。据报,此次地震为6.6级,在地震发生后还出现数次强烈余震,其中一次震级在5.8级。
请看外电相关报道:A powerful earthquake and repeated aftershocks rattled Hawaii on Sunday. The 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the west coast of Hawaii,with shaking and power outages felt as far as 150 miles away on the island of Oahu,but no tsunami warnings were in effect.
报道中的aftershock指的是余震,即大地震之后在同一地区发生的一系列小震级的地震。在日常生活中,aftershock还可表示余悸,如:The industry continued to reel from aftershocks of a disastrous year.(工业在遭受灾年重创后依然摇摆不前。)
另外,报道中的magnitude指的是震级,而power outage表示停电、断电。
最后,再提及两个由after-构成的合成词。Aftereffect指余波、(药物的)副作用,如:the aftereffects of influenza(流感遗留下的种种症状);aftermath常指由事故或战争而引起的后果,如:famine as an aftermath of drought(旱灾后是饥荒)。
