新闻评论英文

A powerful 7.0 earthquake jolted many areas and wrecked buildings on the main Indonesian island of Java on Wednesday, killing at least 44 people. Authorities expected the toll to rise. Early Thursday, Reuters quoted officials who said about 1,300 houses were damaged, but local media put the number closer to 3,500. The news agency said there were makeshift shelters and tents on streets and fields, as survivors feared aftershocks. Indonesia's official Antara news agency said that about 30 people were trapped under rocks and dirt from a landslide in a village near Cianjur, which is about 60 miles southeast of the capital. In Jakarta, the earthquake caused many tall buildings to sway, causing thousands of panicked office workers to flee onto streets. Indonesian authorities said that at least 27 people were injured in and around the capital. Health Ministry spokesman Rustam Pakaya said most of the injuries were minor.Indonesia's Bureau of Meteorology broadcast a tsunami warning on local television stations shortly after the quake struck at 2:55 p.m. local time, but lifted it 40 minutes later.印尼主要岛屿爪哇岛周三发生7.0级强烈地震，岛上许多地区震感强烈，不少建筑物受到破坏，地震至少造成44人死亡。政府预计死亡人数还会上升。 西爪哇一座小镇内被震塌的房屋周四早间，路透社(Reuters)援引印尼官员的话报导称，约有1,300座房屋遭到破坏，不过当地媒体报导的数字接近3,500座。路透社报导称，由于幸存者担心会发生余震，人们在街上和开阔地搭起了临时住所和帐篷。 印尼官方Antara通讯社报导称，在Cianjur附近的一个村庄里，约有30人被困在泥石流造成的岩石和泥土下。Cianjur距离印尼首都雅加达东南约97公里的地方。在雅加达，地震造成很多高层建筑摇晃，数千名恐慌的办公室员工逃到了街上。印尼有关部门说，首都雅加达市内及周边地区至少有27人受伤。印尼卫生部发言人Rustam Pakaya表示，大部分人受的是轻伤。 地震发生于印尼当地时间下午2点55分。印尼地震局(Bureau of Meteorology)随后很快通过当地电视台发布了海啸警报，不过40分钟后又解除了警报。
