四川地震后美国网民的讨论
今天下午中国四川地震的消息很快在互联网上传到了美国。虽然现在正值美国的深夜，但是该话题立刻引起了美国网民的热烈讨论。我承认，我第一眼看到他们的讨论时眼睛有些湿润了。美国网友并没有因为中国的遥远而漠不关心，相反很多网友在积极寻找中国地理人口的资料，以判断地震的损失和甄别各种网络的传言，而更多的人在为灾区人民祈祷。没有人幸灾乐祸，也没有人冷嘲热讽。由于回帖众多，我只能节选部分回帖，和大家分享一下来自大洋彼岸的祝福。
2 major natural disasters in a short time. Scary. Prayers to all.
短时间内发生了2次大型自然灾害。真恐怖。向所有人祈祷。
7.8 is quite high. However, I don’t know the region in China that it hit that well. But if there was shaking all way from Beijing to Hanoi... it’s gotta be a big one. Hope it struck somewhere where there’s not a lot of people . . . then again it is China.
7.8级是非常高的。不过我不了解中国受灾的地区。但既然从北京到河内都有震感。。。。这一定是非常大的。希望它发生在人口稀薄的地区。。。。不过，考虑到那里是中国。。。
Like the cyclone disaster, reports of injuries and deaths will be slow in coming out.
和飓风一样，有关伤员和死亡的报道将很久才能出来。
After taking a look at Chengdu, China, it does appear the epicenter was located near a mountain range in central China, not too close to any major population centers. We can hope for the best.
大概看了一眼中国的成都，看起来震中在中国中部的山区附近，据人口集中的地区较远。我们可以期望最好的结果。
This page seems to be useful determining how close the epicenter was to population centers. It’s from the USGS.
