四级翻译训练题及答案：山体滑坡

都江堰中兴镇发生山体滑坡(landslide)——这是2008年四川地 震时受灾最严重的地方。山体滑坡覆盖了大约两平方公里，摧毁了 至少11所房子。到目前为止，已有200多名居民被疏散。山体滑 坡几个小时后，巡逻队员到达现场时，一切都已经是一片汪洋。目 击者描述石头和残骸(debris)从山上滚下来，不到三分钟就把八座 房屋吞没了。

参考译文：

A landslide has occurred in Zhongxing Town, Dujiangyan—this is the area that was most severely affected during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The landslide covered approximately two square kilometers and destroyed at least 11 houses. So far, more than 200 residents have been evacuated. When patrol members arrived at the scene a few hours after the landslide, everything was already submerged in water. Witnesses described stones and debris rolling down the mountain, engulfing eight houses in less than three minutes.
