Question

The earthquake struck like a heart attack: it was sudden, unexpected and fatal. That Monday had been just a normal day for the people of Sichuan until, in the middle of a quiet spring afternoon, the earth began to shake violently. It lasted only a minute, perhaps even less, but in that short time their lives had been changed forever.
Sichuan is located in the centre of China, its heart really. When people in the rest of China first heard about the earthquake they weren’t too concerned. They were more surprised that buildings in Beijing and Shanghai had been shaken by it. It wasn’t until the next day that people began to realize just how big the disaster was: the thousands of lives lost, the hundreds of thousands of people injured, the millions of people left homeless.
There was shock, of course, but the shock didn’t last long. China is not a stranger to hardship and disaster, after all, and the Spring Festival snowstorms were still fresh in everyone’s minds. The government began an immediate rescue and recovery operation by sending thousands of army troops to the area. Local officials gathered men and machines to clear away fallen buildings and look for survivors. Doctors and nurses began working night and day to save lives.
The rest of the country responded quickly and generously. People began donating much needed food, water and blankets to be sent to the area. And every office, factory and school in the country began collecting money to help the earthquake victims. It was proof, once again, that in times of trouble the people of China open their hearts to each other.
Today, the heart of China is still beating but it is beating sadly. The people of Sichuan have suffered a great loss. Parents have lost children; children have lost parents. It will take years for them to recover.

Answer 1

The earthquake struck like a heart attack: it was sudden, unexpected and fatal. That Monday had been just a normal day for the people of Sichuan until, in the middle of a quiet spring afternoon, the earth began to shake violently. It lasted only a minute, perhaps even less, but in that short time their lives had been changed forever.
地震来了，仿佛心脏病发作了一般：它致命、突然，让人猝不及防。在这个宁静的春天，一个周一的中午十分，地震突然的狂摇大地，让四川老百姓觉得这个原本平凡的周一不再平凡。剧烈的摇晃只持续了大约1分钟，或者更少，但是就在这短短的时间内 ，他们的命运永远的发生了改变。
Sichuan is located in the centre of China, its heart really. When people in the rest of China first heard about the earthquake they weren’t too concerned. They were more surprised that buildings in Beijing and Shanghai had been shaken by it.

四川省位于中国中部，确切得讲，是中国版图的中心地带。当中国其他地区得到地震的消息是，他们并不是非常关心。相反的，北京和上海的高楼大厦受地震影响摇晃却令他们很吃惊。直到第二天，人们才意识到这个灾难的严重性：成千上万的人在地震中失去生命，数以万计的受了伤，更有成百上千万的人无家可归。
There was shock, of course, but the shock didn’t last long. China is not a stranger to hardship and disaster, after all, and the Spring Festival snowstorms were still fresh in everyone’s minds.

毫无疑问，人们十分惊恐，但是惊恐的情绪并没有持续太长时间。
毕竟，中国人经历过太多的苦难。2008春节前夕的大雪灾仍然让人记忆犹新。中国政府立即对灾区实施了救援和重建，成千上万的部队官兵紧急调拨灾区。当地政府也组织群众和机器清理掉落的房屋废墟并寻找幸存者。医生护士也夜以继日地工作，治病救人。
The rest of the country responded quickly and generously. People began donating much needed food, water and blankets to be sent to the area. And every office, factory and school in the country began collecting money to help the earthquake victims. It was proof, once again, that in times of trouble the people of China open their hearts to each other.
中国的其他地区也对地震反应迅速，人民慷慨解囊。人们开始捐赠大量的食品、水以及地毯，以运往灾区。国内的每间办公室，每个工厂和学校都集结欠款支援灾区受难群众。这再次证明了，中国人民在困难中总能同心同德，同舟共济。
Today, the heart of China is still beating but it is beating sadly. The people of Sichuan have suffered a great loss. Parents have lost children; children have lost parents. It will take years for them to recover.
今天，中国的心脏依然在跳动，但是在悲伤的跳动。四川的人民遭受了巨大的损失。父母失去了他们的孩子；孩子们失去了父母。或许要多年以后，他们才能从地震的阴影中，彻底的走出来。
