本文主要介绍了两个主题,即交通事故和地震相关的英文词汇,这些词汇对于理解和讨论自然灾害具有重要意义。
我们来看交通事故方面的词汇。"Aground"指的是船只搁浅,而"belly out"是指底部朝上的状态,常用于描述翻船的情况。"Black box"是飞机等交通工具中的数据记录器,用于事故分析。"Bound"指准备前往某地的交通工具,"bow"是船头,"canyon"是峡谷,"capsize"表示船只倾覆。"Castaway"是指船难幸存者,"cliff"是悬崖,"collide"是碰撞,"crash"也是碰撞,但通常指更严重的撞击。"Crosswind"是侧风,可能对飞行造成影响。"Derail"表示火车出轨,"distress signal"是船只遇险时发出的求救信号,"ditch"可以指飞机水上迫降或汽车掉入沟渠。"Escaping hatch"是潜艇的紧急出口,"ferry"是渡船,"flip over"意为翻转,"foul play"则指异常操作。"Fragment"是碎片,"fuselage"是飞机机身,"gondola"是吊舱,"hatch"是舱门,"head-on train collision"是两列火车迎面相撞的情况。"Heavy seas"描述波涛汹涌的海面,"hull"是船体,"life vest"是救生背心,"mangle"表示压碎,"plunge"是投入或跳入,"raft"是救生筏,"ram"是猛撞,"ravine"是深谷,"rescue team"是救援队伍,"rough seas"同样是波涛汹涌的海面,"rudder"是舵,"shipwreck"是船只失事及其残骸,"skip over"是翻越,"turbulence"是湍流,"turbulent"是形容词,表示狂暴或湍流,"wind shear"是风切变,"wreck on a rock"则指触礁失事。
接着,我们转向地震相关的词汇。"Earthquake"是地震的总称,还有诸如"temblor"、"earthshock"、"quake"、"cataclysm"、"seism"等同义词。"Epicenter"是震中,"seismic belt"、"seismic zone"和"seismic area"都是地震带的意思。"Richter Scale"是衡量地震强度的里氏震级,范围从1到10。"Seismographer"或"seismologist"是地震学家,"earthquake monitoring"是地震监测,"seismic coefficient"是地震系数,"dislocation earthquake"、"folding earthquake"、"local earthquake"、"palintectic earthquake"、"plutonic earthquake"、"shallow-focus earthquake"、"simulated earthquake"和"submarine earthquake"分别对应不同的地震类型。"Tsunami"是海啸,"tectonic earthquake"是构造地震,"volcanic earthquake"与火山活动有关。"After shock"是余震,"magnitude"是震级,"seismology"是地震学,"buckle"表示变形或坍塌,"calamity"是灾难,"debris"是废墟,"devastate"意味着毁灭,"devastating quake"是破坏性地震,"dilapidated house"是部分损坏的房屋,"earthquake belt"是地震带,"earthquake prone zone"是易震地带,"epicenter"再次强调震中,"eruption"是喷发,"jolt"是震动,"killer earthquake"指造成大量伤亡的地震,"landslide"是山崩,"lava"是熔岩,"mudslide"是泥石流,"open-ended Richter Scale"是指没有上限的里氏地震级,"earthquake-stricken area"是地震灾区,"reduce to rubbles"意味着化为瓦砾,"rock"在这里表示震动,"seism"是地震的另一种说法,"shantytown"和"shanty"指的是棚户区和棚屋,"shoddy building"是指质量低劣的建筑,"skimp"指偷工减料,"sniffer dog"是嗅探犬,用于寻找被困者,"stench of putrefaction"是腐烂气味,"temblor"是地震的另一个词,"tide wave"也指海啸,"tracking dog"和"trained-dog"都是受过训练的警犬,"traumatized"表示精神创伤,"tremor"是微震,"tsunami"再次出现,"unscrupulous"是指不顾一切或不道德的行为,"volcano"是火山。
这些词汇涵盖了交通事故和地震的各个方面,包括事故发生、灾害影响、救援行动以及科学术语,对于学习和理解相关领域知识非常有用。了解这些词汇可以帮助我们更好地理解和应对自然灾害,提高安全意识,并为救援工作提供语言支持。
