2014年6月英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：山體滑坡

　　請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

　　都江堰中興鎮(zhèn)發(fā)生山體滑坡(landslide)——這是2008年四川地 震時(shí)受災(zāi)最嚴(yán)重的地方。山體滑坡覆蓋了大約兩平方公里，摧毀了 至少11所房子。到目前為止，已有200多名居民被疏散。山體滑 坡幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，巡邏隊(duì)員到達(dá)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)時(shí)，一切都已經(jīng)是一片汪洋。目 擊者描述石頭和殘骸(debris)從山上滾下來(lái)，不到三分鐘就把八座 房屋吞沒(méi)了。

　　參考翻譯：

　　The landslide occurred in the town of Zhongxing is Dujiangyan —one of the places badly hit by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The landslide, which covered about 2 sq km, damaged at least 11 homes. So far more than 200 residents have been evacuated. By the time patrol members arrived at the scene, a few hours after the landslide，everything was already a vast expanse of water. Eyewitnesses described stones and debris running down the hill and covering around eight homes in less than three minutes.
