2014年6月英語四級翻譯練習(xí)：山體滑坡

　　請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 震時受災(zāi)最嚴重的地方。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 坡幾個小時后，巡邏隊員到達現(xiàn)場時，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，不到三分鐘就把八座 房屋吞沒了。

　　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.
