921 Earthquake
Narrator: 地震! Hurry up, take cover! ………Phew … is everyone all right?
Thank goodness everyone is all right. 我最不喜歡地震了。 And that was a big
one!
But it still wasn't as big as the 921 Earthquake.
Have you heard of the 九二一大地震? The 921 Earthquake was one of the biggest
earthquakes to ever hit Taiwan.
That earthquake happened on September 21, 1999.
That means it happened exactly twenty years ago. 剛好20年前發生
It was a magnitude 7.3 earthquake, which means it was a very, very strong
earthquake!
It was was so strong that it knocked down power lines in Taiwan,
然後全台灣就大停電! There was a blackout!
The blackout lasted a long time. There was no electricity for days.
我們過了好多天都沒有電,都停電了During the day people could not turn on their
fans or air conditioners, so everyone was very sweaty under the hot sun.
晚上沒有電,白天也沒辦法開電扇或冷氣,大家都熱得汗流浹背!
And at night, there was no electricity for lights, so everything was very
dark.
Sadly, more than two-thousand people were also killed in the earthquake.
And thousands of buildings were damaged.
…….Uh oh, aftershock!........
Everyone still ok? That was just an aftershock. That is when the ground
shakes again after an earthquake.
Hopefully there won't be any more aftershocks. 拜託不要再來餘震了!
Anyway, the 921 Earthquake was a terrible thing to happen, but experts are
studying how we can be ready for other earthquakes in the
future.未來如果我們能預測地震的話, 我們就可以先準備了
And hopefully, we will be!
