印度尼西亚海啸：逾400人丧命
Indonesian government workers and volunteers searched debris-strewn beaches for survivors and bodies after a nighttime tsunami struck without warning, killing at least 373 people on a busy holiday weekend. A disaster agency spokesperson said 1,459 were injured and 128 remained missing from the disaster areas along the coastlines of western Java and southern Sumatra islands. Reuters said some 12,000 people evacuated to higher ground.
据美国哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）网站12月24日的消息：在一个繁忙的假日周末，一场海啸在毫无预警的状况下夜间来袭，造成至少373人死亡(译者注：已上升至429人死亡)。印尼政府工作人员和志愿者在遍布碎片的海滩上寻找幸存者和尸体。一名灾难机构的发言人表示，在西爪哇岛和苏门答腊岛南部海岸的受灾地区，有1459人受伤，128人失踪。据路透社的报道，约12000人已撤离到更高的地面。
The waves that swept terrified locals and tourists into the sea Saturday night along the Sunda Strait followed an eruption and apparent landslide on Anak Krakatau, or "Child of Krakatoa," one of the world's most infamous volcanic islands.

A Norwegian photographer and volcano enthusiast posted on Facebook that he had to run to escape the waves while on the beach photographing the volcano.

Yellow, orange and black body bags were laid out, and weeping relatives identified the dead.

Scientists, including those from Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics agency, said the tsunami could have been caused by landslides — either above ground or underwater — on the steep slope of the erupting volcano. The scientists also cited high tide with a full moon as a possible contributing factor.
印度尼西亚气象和地球物理局等部门的科学家们表示，海啸可能是由喷发火山陡坡处--地面或水下的--的山体崩塌引起的。科学家们还声称，满月时的涨潮是海啸爆发的一个可能诱因。
The 1,000-foot -high Anak Krakatau lies on an island in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra islands, linking the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea. It has been erupting since June and did so again about 24 minutes before the tsunami, the geophysics agency said.
阿纳喀拉喀托火山海拔1000英尺，位于爪哇岛和苏门答腊岛之间的巽他海峡的一个岛上，连接着印度洋和爪哇海。印度尼西亚地球物理局表示，阿纳喀拉喀托火山自6月份以来就一直在喷发，并在海啸发生前的24分钟左右再次喷发。
Gegar Prasetya, co-founder of the Tsunami Research Center Indonesia, said Saturday's tsunami was likely caused by a flank collapse — when a big section of a volcano's slope gives way. It's possible for an eruption to trigger a landslide above ground or beneath the ocean, both capable of producing waves, he said.
印尼海啸研究中心的联合创始人吉格-普拉塞特亚（Gegar Prasetya）说，周六的海啸很可能是由山体侧翼坍塌引发，当时火山的一大片斜坡都已经坍塌。他说，火山喷发可能引发地面或海底出现滑坡，而两者都有可能产生波浪。
"Actually, the tsunami was not really big, only 1 meter (3.3 feet)," said Prasetya, who has studied Krakatoa. "The problem is people always tend to build everything close to the shoreline."
“事实上，此次海啸的规模并不巨大，只有1米（3.3英尺），”研究过克拉卡托火山的普拉塞特亚说。“问题是人们总是倾向于将所有东西都建在靠近海岸线的地方。”
The volcanic island formed over years after the 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano, one of the largest, most devastating in recorded history. That disaster killed more than 30,000 people, launched far-reaching tsunamis and created so much ash that day was turned to night in the area and a global temperature drop was recorded.
1883年的克拉卡托火山大爆发是人类有史以来规模最大、破坏力最强的火山之一。那场灾难造成3万多人死亡，引发了波及深远的海啸，生成的大量灰烬致使该地当日白天变成了黑夜，并创下了全球气温跌幅记录。随后，这座火山岛得以形成。
Most of the island sank into a volcanic crater under the sea, and the area remained calm until the 1920s, when Anak Krakatau began to rise from the site. It continues to grow each year and erupts periodically.
这座火山岛上的大部分地区都已沉入海底下的一个火山口，该地区也一直保持着平静，直到20世纪20年代阿纳喀拉喀托火山开始从这个火山口升起。阿纳喀拉喀托火山每年持续增长，并定期爆发。
Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands and home to 260 million people, lies along the "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin. Roads and infrastructure are poor in many areas, making access difficult in the best of conditions.
印度尼西亚位于“火环”沿线（太平洋盆地的火山弧形线和断层线），是一个拥有1.7万多个岛屿的巨大群岛，有2.6亿人口。许多地区的道路和基础设施很差，即便在最好的环境条件下也很难进入。
A powerful quake on the island of Lombok killed 505 people in August. The tsunami and earthquake that hit Sulawesi in September killed more than 2,100, while thousands more are believed to still be buried in neighborhoods swallowed by a quake phenomenon known as liquefaction.
8月份，龙目岛发生的一场大地震造成505人死亡。9月份，袭击苏拉威西的海啸和地震造成2100多人死亡，而据信，还有数千人因地震液化现象遭埋葬。
Saturday's tsunami also rekindled memories of the massive magnitude 9.1 earthquake that hit Indonesia on Dec. 26, 2004. It spawned a giant tsunami off Sumatra island, killing more than 230,000 people in a dozen countries — the majority in Indonesia.
周六的海啸也唤起了人们关于2004年12月26日印尼发生9.1级大地震的记忆。那场地震在苏门答腊岛附近引发了一场巨大的海啸，致使十几个国家超过23万人死亡，而印度尼西亚逝者居多。（译：张思齐）
