10秒內消失:中國武漢爲建高樓一瞬間炸燬19棟建築
Nineteen buildings disappeared in the space of 10 seconds after being demolished by a controlled explosion in China yesterday.
昨天，中國一次控制爆破讓19棟樓在10秒鐘之內被夷平。The blocks of flats which were up to 12 storeys high in the city of Wuhan are making way for a huge new business district including a 707-metre tall skyscraper.
位於武漢的這些樓房有12層樓高，這些建築（被夷平是）爲一個新的商業區讓路，這個商業區包括一棟高707米的摩天大樓。Experts waited until dark had fallen before detonating demolition charges which brought down 150000 square metres of concrete glass and steel in 10 seconds.
專家等到夜幕降臨才實施爆破，10秒鐘內就夷平了十五萬平方米的混凝土、玻璃、鋼筋。
The residents of the Hankou Binjiang estate had been moved out weeks before.
漢口濱江的居民數週前就已將財產轉移。The area is close to the city centre and the demolition contractors had to make sure that when they brought down the buildings they did not damage a light rail viaduct nearby or a shopping mall and electricity sub-station.
這個區域靠近市中心，爆破方必須確保爆破時不會影響到附近的一條輕軌線路、一個購物中心和變電站。
Jia Yongsheng general director of the demolition company told China's state TV channel CCTV: 'For this kind of large-scale blasting demolition conducted in the downtown area we not only need to guarantee the demolition result but also strictly control the adverse effects of blasting.'
爆破公司總指揮賈永勝告訴中國國營電視臺CCTV說：像這樣在市中心的大規模爆破任務，不但要保證爆破結果（精確），還要控制爆破產生的不良影響。
