BEIJING (AP) — A strong earthquake shook a mountainous region in southwestern China near a famous national park, killing 13 people, injuring 175 others and knocking out power and phone networks.

美联社驻北京——强烈的地震袭击了中国西南山区的一个着名国家景区，造成了13死175伤，切断了电力和通信网络。

At least five of the dead were tourists, China's official Xinhua News Agency said. At least 28 people had serious injuries, according to the Aba prefecture government in Sichuan province.

中国官方媒体新华社通报，死者中至少有五人是游客。四川阿坝州政府表示，至少28人严重受伤。

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for rapid efforts to respond to the quake and rescue the injured. Authorities sent medical teams, rescuers and other resources.

中国主席要求迅速响应地震并援救伤者。官方已派遣医疗队，救援队和其他救灾资源奔赴灾区。



The quake around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday struck a region bordered by the provinces of Sichuan and Gansu. The area is on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau and home to many Tibetan and other ethnic minority villages. It's also near Jiuzhaigou, or Jiuzhai Valley, a national park known for spectacular waterfalls and karst formations.

周二晚9:20分在四川和甘肃交界处发生了地震。该地区位于青藏高原的边缘，居住着许多藏族和其他少数民族。震中靠近九寨沟，一个以壮观的瀑布和喀斯特地貌闻名的国家公园。

The U.S. Geological Survey said it was magnitude-6.5 and just 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) deep, while the China Earthquake Networks Center measured the earthquake at magnitude-7.0 and said it struck at a depth of 20 kilometers (12 miles). Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage than deeper ones.

美国地址调查局表明地震震级为6.5级，震源大约9公里（5.5英里）深。中国地震台网测量的地震震级为7.0级，震源深达20公里（12英里）。浅源地震比深源地震更容易造成巨大损失。

A man surnamed Song who answered the phone at a local emergency office in Aba prefecture, where the Jiuzhaigou national park is located, said the nearby town of Zhangzha reported the deaths and injuries. Song did not say where the five tourists who died were from.

在九寨沟国家公园所在地阿坝州当地的一个紧急办公室中，一位姓宋男子接听了电话，表示附近的张占镇报道了伤亡情况。宋先生没有说明遇难的五名游客来自哪里。

The epicenter was about 39 kilometers (24 miles) from the county of Jiuzhaigou, which has a population of around 80,000, and was 285 kilometers (177 miles) from Chengdu, the densely populated capital of Sichuan province, according to the Chinese quake center.

中国地震中心宣布，震中大约距离九寨沟39公里（24英里），人口约8万，距四川省人口稠密的成都285公里(177英里)。

Xinhua said strong tremors could be felt in Chengdu. The Sichuan provincial government's news website said that after the quake struck, a number of train services to Chengdu and other cities were suspended.

新华社表示成都有强烈震感。四川省政府新闻网站宣布，震后开往成都和其他城市的列车暂停行驶。

Jiuzhaigou county had a massive power outage following the quake, Song said. Local officials were being sent to the town of Zhangzha, which was closest to the quake's epicenter.

宋表示，九寨沟县在震后出现了大规模断电。当地官员被派往距离震中最近的张湛镇。

"The tremors were very strong," said a woman in Jiuzhaigou town who gave only her surname, Wang, and said she worked for a travel company. She said the damage in the town center seemed minimal other than the suspension of electricity.
"People from other regions are a pretty frightened," Wang said.

“震感很强烈。”九寨沟一位仅被告知姓氏为王的女子表示，据说她为一家旅游公司工作。她表示除了暂时停电外镇中损伤很小。“来自其他地区的人很害怕。”王说。

Xinhua said more than 30,000 tourists at Jiuzhaigou were relocated to safety with help from tourist buses and private vehicles.

新华社表示超过3万的九寨沟游客被旅游大巴和私家车转移到安全地点。

Yu Qian, a local taxation bureau official, told Xinhua that she felt strong shaking that sent her and her two children rushing from their home on the fifth floor. Yu  said the quake cut off power in her neighborhood and disrupted telephone service.

于倩，一位当地税务局官员，告诉新华社当她和她的两个孩子从15楼冲下楼时她感到强烈摇晃。于说地震切断了邻近地区的电力和电话服务。

"I was getting into a car at the time of the quake, and it felt like a heavy-duty truck roaring past," said Liu Yanrong, a local township official, told Xinhua.

刘艳荣，一位镇官员，告诉新华社：“地震发生时我正在上车，感觉就像一辆重型卡车碾过。”

Xinhua cited a worker at the Jiuzhaigou park named Sangey as saying that some houses in the tourist site collapsed or cracked following the quake and that authorities were organizing evacuations of residents.

新华社引用了九寨沟一位叫做桑吉的工人的话，说旅游景区内的一些房屋在震中垮塌，官方正在组织撤离当地居民。

Images on Chinese social media sites showed rocks scattered on roads and people running out of bars and cafes in Jiuzhaigou town onto the street.

中国网络上的一些图片显示九寨沟街道上散乱分布着碎石，人群逃出酒吧餐馆。

A report on the news site's official microblog also cited Zhao Wei, the party secretary of the Communist Youth League's Jiuzhaigou division, as saying some telephone communications networks were down, making it difficult to determine the scale of the damage.

官方微博的最新新闻报告引用了九寨沟区党委书记赵伟的话，表示电话通讯网络陷入瘫痪，也很难确定损失的规模。

On Wednesday morning, another strong earthquake struck in far northwestern China, some 2,200 kilometers (1,360 miles) away. It was measured at magnitude 6.3 by USGS and 6.6 by China's agency and was in a sparsely populated area of the Xinjiang region near the Kazakhstan border. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

周三早上，另一场地震发生在中国西北部大约2200公里（1360英里）外的地方。美国地址勘探局测得震级为6.3级，中国地震台网测得为6.6级.地震发生在靠近哈萨克斯坦边界的新疆人口稀少地区。暂时没有人员伤亡和损失报告。

Earthquakes are common in China's west, although the low population density there often means casualties are low. China's deadliest earthquake this century, a magnitude-7.9 temblor, struck Sichuan province in May 2008, killing nearly 90,000 people.

地震在中国西部很常见，然而低人口密度也意味着较低的伤亡。中国本世纪最致命的地震是发生在2008年四川省的7.9级地震，造成大约9万人员伤亡。

Why would you cheer a deadly earthquake?

为什么会欢呼一场致命的地震？

Fabien
I don't get how people (so **many** people) can cheer for the death of other innocent human beings.

我无法忍受如此多的人为那么多无辜人遇难而欢呼。

I know our governments don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but it is my sincerest hope that humanity's spirit of goodwill will prevail in this difficult time. Heal, recover, and let us know how we may help.

我知道我们的政府并不在所有事情上一致，但是我衷心希望在这艰难的时刻人类的善意能占上风。治愈，恢复，让我们知道该如何帮助受灾者。

Really scary. I know now with all the quakes we have been having in Oklahoma. I can't imagine a 7.0. Prayers for those affected.

I see this creates a place for some haters and losers to express their happiness. What pathetic low lives these people enjoying.

我认为这为一些仇恨者和失败者创造了宣泄他们感情的地方。这些人过着多么可悲的生活。

Trump done did it?

特朗普做的？

This area is close to Tibet and while you can sympathize the victims which should be but Chinese doesn't like Tibet so I don't know how much help or attention they will get. However, there are a lot of tourist trapping there so maybe their government going to send some troops to help instead of sending them to India border.
In other news, China boasting they have 3000 billions in reserve which is 3 trillions of dollars. Maybe they could use 0.1% of it to help the local in their country instead of asking other.

当地靠近西藏，当你们同情受害者时中国人却不喜欢藏人。所以我不知道藏族人会受到多少帮助和关注。然而，有许多游客被困在当地，也许政府会派遣军队帮助他们而不是把伤者送到印度。

Letting North Korea explodes hundreds of underground bombs and nukes can't be good for earth quakes in China. Sounds like Karma.

允许朝鲜进行无数次地下核试验对于中国的地震来说没什么好处。听起来就像因果报应。

Check the stock market. Check jobs data. Check unemployment data. Liberals coming unhinged because it's working. Media dead silent but Trump is working. And get used to it as he has 7 1/2 more

核查一下股市。检查一下就业数据。检查一下失业情况。自由主义者由于工作而精神错乱。媒体沉默了，但特朗普正在工作。当他比7.5更多的时候就习惯了

Quakes (and their aftershocks) are scary things. I was living in Taichung, Taiwan when the 1999 quake hit: thousands killed, hundreds of thousands displaced, buildings leveled and badly damaged..... my apartment was spared, but one wall had a crack large enough to put my hand through. Hope the rescues and relief go smoothly and life returns to normal quickly.

地震(以及他们的余震)很可怕。1999年地震发生时我住在台湾台中市。数千人死亡，数十万人流离失所，建筑物被夷为平地严重受损。我的公寓幸免于难，但有一面墙的裂缝大到足以把我的手伸进去。希望救援顺利，生活尽快恢复正常。

不用担心，中国会用它的宣传机器帮助救援。
