  24. When The Earth Quakes. 地震时刻   1. On the night of August 17, 1959, at about 20 minutes before midnight, the ground in the vicinity[n.附近] of Yellowstone National Park began shaking violently[猛烈的]. At the time there was a rumbling[隆隆声] sound, something like a huge truck would make. Both the heaving[升降] of the ground and the noise were very frightening[可怕的] but lasted not quite 45 seconds. 1、1959年8月17日的晚上,大约午夜前20分钟,黄石国家公园附近大地开始猛烈摇动。同时,大地发出如同重型卡车发出的轰响。大地的升降和啸叫都令人非常害怕,但是一切不超过45秒。 分析:at night ; At the time在那时; 单词:vicinity=附近; violently=猛烈地; rumbling=隆隆声; heave=升降; frightening=; 2. What was even more frightening[可怕的] was the sound of huge boulders[n.巨石] which began rolling down the steep[a.险峻的,陡峭的] mountain. In one part of the upper reaches of the Madison River, a whole mountain began shifting[(shift):v.移动], then came crashing[坠毁] down to fill the deep valley[n.山谷;溪谷] and dam[拦阻] the great river with millions of tons rock and trees. 2、更令人害怕的是巨石开始从陡峭的山上滚下来的声音。在麦迪生河上游的一条支流处,一整座山开始移动,之后,它崩塌下来填满深深的山谷,上百万吨岩石和大树如坝般阻挡住大河。 分析:upper reaches上游河段 单词:boulder=大石头; steep=陡峭; shift=移动;crash=坠毁 ; valley=山谷;dam=3. A dozen[n.打;12个] or more campers[(camper):n.露营者] along the river were buried[(bury):vt.埋葬;葬] deep beneath[prep.在…下面] the great landslide[n.滑坡]. Others were able to climb to safety, some of them badly hurt, but were trapped[陷入] by the slide[滑坡]. Finally these people were saved, many of them by helicopter. 3、十几个,或许更多沿河的露营者被深埋在大滑坡下。幸存的野营者开始爬向较安全的地方,其中一些人伤得很重,仍然不时陷入滑坡。最后这些人都获救了,其中多人得救于直升飞机。 单词:dozen= 一打,十二个;camper=露营者; bury=埋葬; beneath =在...之下;landslide=; trap=;slide=; 4. This earthquake near Yellowstone Park was just one of nearly a million that happen every year all over the world. And as bad as this quake was, many have been worse. Earthquake experts[(expert):n.专家;能手] say that the Yellowstone quake of 1959 was about as bad as the one which hit San Francisco in 1906.But the San Francisco quake caused more damage because it struck[(strike):袭击] in a place where ther
