The China Earthquake of July 28, 1976(The Tangshan Earthquake)No other earthquake in this century has been as catastrophic or has claimed as many lives as the great earthquake that struck the city of Tangshan, in Northern China, on July 28, 1976.Tangshan, a thriving industrial city with one million inhabitants, is located only about 95 miles east, and slightly south, of Beijing.Although the region had experienced moderate seismic activity in the past, the city of Tangshan has been built on unstable, alluvial soil.To make matters worse, The city is located in the center of an area with major crustal faults on four sides.Furthermore, a 25-mile long fault passes through Tangshan, where only few of its structures are earthquake-resistant.In the early morning hours of July 28, while the city was asleep, the magnitude 8.0 earthquake with its epicenter right on the city broke a five-mile section of the fault.Along the west side of the fault the land moved five feet northward in relation to the land on the east side.The east block tipped downward at the northern end of the break, and upward toward the south end.Over a four-by-five mile area the devastation of the city was nearly total.The force of the quake motions were so strong that people reported being thrown in the air.Within seconds, thousands died.Property destruction was unbelievable.Bridges, railroads, homes, factories were completely leveled.In the harbor city of Tientsin, 60 miles to the southwest, and in Beijing to the west, the quake jolts forced thousands of frightened people into the streets seeking refuge from aftershocks.中文翻译： 1976年7月28日特大地震（唐山大地震）
在本世纪，没有任何其他大地震能与发生在1976年7月28日中国北方的唐山市所造成的巨大灾难或死亡人数相比的特大地震。唐山位于北京东部偏南95英里，人口一百万，是一个繁荣的工业城市。过去该地区曾经历过中度地震活动，唐山市的地基不稳定，土壤为冲积土质。更为糟糕的是，唐山正 好处于四周为主要的地壳断层的区域中心。此外，25英里长的断层带正好通过唐山，唐山的建筑物结构很少具有抗震性。
7月28日清晨，整个城市还在睡梦中，突然爆发了8.0级特大地震，震中在断层的5英里处，正好是唐山市的中心位置。与东侧相对而言，沿着断层的西 侧整个土地向北移动了5英尺。在裂缝处北端东部，地块北向下倾斜，南边翘起。整个唐山几乎全部夷为平地。有报道说，地震的威力之强大把人都抛到了空中。顷 刻间，数千人丧失了生命。财产的损失更是难以置信。桥梁、铁路、房屋、工厂完全夷为平地。在西南60英里以外的港口城市天津，及西面的北京，大地震动迫使 数以千计受到惊吓的老百姓在后来的多次余震中露宿街头寻求安全。

Mavis Mrs.Bertrand Advanced English Writing November 13, 2012
The earthquake in 2008 What is the earthquake? It is the brutal earth movement which causes a catastrophe to human beings.As a horrible natural disaster, an earthquake always takes people’s lives away, destroys people’s living environment and creates a tremendous economic loss.In other words, earthquakes are big threats to our lives.Have you experienced an earthquake? Yes, I had in 2008.May 12th in 2008 was a special date that has been carved in my mind deeply.We were preparing to have our class but the floor, desks and chairs began to shake.Someone shouted “earthquake”, and then we all ran to the play yard.Fortunately, we were not in the centre of the earthquake, and the centre was in Wen Chuan, a city of Sichuan province the neighboring province of us.It was reported that about seventy thousand people died from it.A lot of people were buried by collapsed buildings;children lost their parents and parents lost their babies.People suffered the death of their relations and families.The happy life was destroyed within a day.After the earthquake, people did not have home to live in.Buildings were collapsed or full of crevices in the walls.Thousands of people had to live in tents.All roads were broken off, thus, that beautiful city became an isolated miserable place.People were desperate about their life, miserable for the loss of families and worried about their future.The city filled up with tears and misery.With regard to economic loss, the 2008 earthquake caused 800 billion RMB economic losses, which was a huge cost for our country.These monies were mainly spend on providing emergency supplies to local people, sending policeman and soldiers to rescue people and rebuilding the earthquake attacked city.After four years’ efforts, the city has been built again and people have lived a tranquil life in their hometown.And also people have been free from their miserable and horrible experience of 2008.In short, an earthquake is disastrous for it will destroy our lives, leave a painful experience to us and also cause a huge economic loss to our country.
简介地震的里氏震级 第3篇
20世纪30年代, 里克特 (Richter C F) 制订了一种表明地震能量大小的尺度, 就是使用测震仪衡量地震能量的等级, 地震能量越大, 测震仪记录的地震曲线的振幅就越大, 这就是我们常说的里氏震级, 其计算公式为
其中, A是被测地震的最大振幅, A0是“标准地震的振幅” (使用标准地震振幅是为了修正测震仪距实际震中的距离造成的偏差) .
假设在一次地震中, 一个距离震中100千米的测震仪记录的地震最大振幅是20, 此时标准地震的振幅是0.0001, 则这次地震的震级是
即这是一次约为里氏4.3级的地震.
5级地震给人的震感已比较明显, 但可以计算出7.6级地震的最大振幅大约是5级地震的最大振幅的398倍:
由公式M=lg A-lg A0, 得
百度百科对"里氏震级"的解释是 (见http://baike.baiducom/view/1048360.htm) :
里克特的震级, 本质上反映了地震释放的能量大小.里氏震级M与地震波释放出的能量E (单位:J) 之间的关系是:
结论:里氏震级M每增加k个单位, 相对应的地震能量E变为原来的101.5k倍, 地震的最大振幅A变为原来的10k倍.
2008年5月12日, 中国四川汶川发生了里氏8.0级地震, 而在1923年日本发生了里氏8.9级地震.因为震级增加了0.9, 所以地震能量变为原来的101.5×0.9≈22.4倍, 最大振幅变为原来的100.9≈7.94倍.

关键词元话语 分类 交际元话语 互动元话语
中图分类号:H03文献标识码:A
1 引言
语言是交际的一种手段,而交际不仅涉及信息、物品或服务的交换,而且涉及交际双方的个性、态度和观点。而元话语则可以帮助我们了解说话人或作者对语篇内容和读者/听话者(以下合称“受众”)的态度。什么是元话语?元话语一词最早由Zellig Harris 提出, 早先常常被称作“关于话语的话语”和“关于谈话的谈话”(Hyland, 2005),到现在它被定义为“用来协商语篇互动意义的自我反省表达形式,能帮助作者/说话人表达观点,与作为社会成员的读者进行交际。(Hyland, 2008)”。
语言包含两个层面:基本话语 (primary discourse) 和元话语(metadiscourse)。Hyland和T se(2004: 157)认为,对元话语的理解有狭义和广义之分,狭义的观点是,强调话语的组织篇章的功能;广义的观点是,元话语体现了作者在篇章中所表现出来的运用语言和修辞的方法以及把话语组织和话语含义结合起来的方法。元话语的分类存在许多不同意见,使人莫衷一是,但大多数分类都是基于由Vande Kopple(1985)的分类上。目前,中国社会科学院语言所的徐赳赳将元话语分为了三大类词语元话语、标点元话语、视觉元话语。
笔者基于前人的研究成果对中英文学校简介的元话语使用情况进行比较,需要强调的是笔者谈的元话语是书面语。笔者分别考察了五个国外著名学府的英文简介和五个国内著名学府的中文简介,以此来进行比较。
2 元话语分类及讨论
元话语可以分为三大类:词语元话语、标点元话语、视觉元元话语。
2.1词语元话语
对元话语分类的讨论主要集中在词汇类,从目前研究来看,主要有三种分法: (1)篇章元话语(textual metadiscourse)和人际元话语( interpersonal metadiscourse); (2)交际元话语( interactive resources)和互动式元话语( interactional resources); (3)内部篇章元话语( intra-textual)和外部篇章元话语( inter-textual)。我们现就第二种分类来进行分析。
根据Hyland(2008)交际元话语包含:过渡语(transitions),框架标记(frame markers)回指标记(endophoric markers),言据标记(evidentials)、语码注释(code glosses);而互动元话语包含:模糊语(hedges)、增强语(boosters)、态度标记(ttitude markers)、自称语(self mentions)、介入标记(engagement markers)
英文学校简介中出现的框架标记回指标记言据标记语码注释比较少,过渡语的比例也不大。而中文学校简介中,交际元话语相对出现较多且尤以过渡语出现较多,也就是说,就交际元话语来说,中文学校简介比英文学校简介使用的频率较多。举例如下:
But it is not just longevity and global reach过渡语
However, you can ask students and professors about their research. Also, displays of various projects are posted on the walls of most departments. 过渡语
也是当时中国最高教育行政机关。过渡语
据不完全统计,北京大学的校友和教师有400多位两院院士 言据标记
并成为国家“211工程”重点建设的两所大学之一。过渡语
然而,在学校简介中,互动元话语的情况则相反。英文学校在简介中大量使用了介入标记、自称语等。例:
you are visiting for more detailed instructions 介入标记
we hope you have a day to spend in Cambridge 自称语、介入标记
There are labs you might not have heard of, activities that you might expect, and others that will surprise you. Let us show you around. 模糊语、介入标记
Caltech students are very friendly and approachable. They also are refreshingly honest. Most will be happy to tell you about their classes,增强语
we do not offer tours of or access to the labs.(自称语)
Perhaps the best way to get to know Caltech is to soak up(模糊语)
we are delighted that via this website you are joining that long tradition.态度标记
That is why we believe that the greater we can make Oxford, the greater its contribution to the well-being of the world you and I share. 自称语通过使用第二人称代词、评价性评语等互动话语能使作者(本文中即学校)参与到文本中从而更清晰地表达信息并激发读者参与的激情。然而,在中文学校简介中几乎很少看到有互动元话语。也这可能主要是因为中国人写文章讲求严谨,客观性,而少有考虑到与学生的互动。
2.2标点元话语
在书面文本中,各种各样的标点符号及版面排版等,例如:下划线、首字母大写等也能表明文本的重点和作者的态度。(Crismore et al 1993)Hyland和Tse (2004: 157)认为,通过使用元话语,作者就可以把单调的、零散的篇章组成相互关联的、读者所喜爱的篇章,元话语还可把篇章跟语境联系起来,表达作者的人际意义,提高篇章的可信度,提高读者的阅读兴趣。从这个角度看,元话语是属于功能的范畴,因此,有些标点、句子排列的次序等都可列入元话语的范畴。在中英文学校简介中有例:
They would love the challenge!
豫章故郡,旧邦维新,我们一起见证江西在中部的崛起!
斯文正印,继往开来,我们相与共建昌大在中华之腾飞!
形成了“前湖之风”周末讲坛
2.3视觉元话语
人们对元话语的研究都集中在篇章本身,给人的感觉好像篇章只是涉及词、句子和段落。其实,元话语还应包括篇章的视觉成分,如版面排版、颜色搭配等。
在中英文各大学的学校简介中我们可看到许多附上的彩图,从而在视觉上给读者以冲击力,以吸引更多的学生到校求学。
3 结语
从以上比较我们可看出英文学校简介更注重与学生的平等对话,且英语国家重视受教育的公平性人性化管理。英国的教育注重人本化,以人为本是教育的核心理念学校与学生没有教育方(老师)和受教育方(学生)尊严的隔阂,更多的是民主平等的师生关系,是人与人之间的平等沟通。在中国的学校似乎将学生永远放置在从属地位。对于学生而言,对老师的绝对服从就是尊师的体现——“尊师如尊父”。所以在中国的学校简介中,只是将大量的有关学校的信息灌输给学生,学生只是被动地接受信息。而没有注重与学生互动,以便引起学生积极性。
中国已经加入WTO多年,我们在经济和社会与国际接轨的同时,也要注重教育与国际的接轨,在面向各国宣传学校文化时,可以在元话语的使用上做适当调整,使我们的学校及教育更容易被全世界的大众所接受。相信随着中西文化交流的日益加深,人们之间的距离会逐渐变小,希望通过对中英教育文化中的几个非常具有代表性方面的略述,能够提供中西方文化交流、取长补短的方便。

On the 12 of May in 20xx, an incredible and unknown earthquake suddenly happened in Wenchuan, Sichuan province. Almost half of China was affected. It was a huge calamity to Chinese people.
Until now, there are nearly 50 thousand people who died in this earthquake and more people injured. Many people lost their relatives and fell into the deep sorrow. And they also lost their homes and hometowns. A large number of buildings were damaged. What’s more, many children and students lost their lives because of the collapse of schools.
