美國加州西岸海域發生6.9級地震
A very strong earthquake rattled the Northern California coast and was widely felt across the region, but authorities said early Monday that there were no reports of any injuries or damages.
加利福尼亞州北部海岸發生了嚴重的地震，加州地區均有明顯震感，但是加州政府在週一表示沒有收到人員傷亡的報告。
The magnitude 6.9 quake struck at 10:18 p.m. PDT Sunday and was centered 50 miles west of Eueka and about four miles beneath the Pacific seabed, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed by about a half-dozen aftershocks, including one of magnitude 4.6.
據美國地質調查局發佈的信息，此次地震的震級爲6.9級，發生在當地時間週六晚上的10：18，震中位於距離尤里卡西部50英里遠、距太平洋海牀4英里遠。地震引發了一系列餘震，一次餘震震級高達4.6級。
The quake was felt widely across the region but both fire and sheriff's officials in Humboldt County, which includes most of the populated areas near the epicenter, said early Monday more than four hours after the quake hit that they had no reports of any damage or injuries.
整個地區均有震感，但是在週一早些時候，洪堡鎮負責管轄震中附近大部分區域的火警和警察局局長稱在震後超過4個小時的時間內，未接到有人員傷亡的報告。
The National Tsunami Warning Center said there was no tsunami danger for the region.
美國國家海嘯預警中心稱此次地震沒有引發海嘯的危險。
But more than 3,000 people reported on the USGS website that they felt the quake. Some reported a long, rolling shake that woke children or knocked items off shelves. Some of those respondents live across the border in Oregon.
超過3000名羣衆在USGS網站發貼稱他們感到了震感。有些人說這次的地震持續時間很長，振幅明顯，甚至吵醒了孩子，連架子上的物品也被震下來了。一些網民住在俄勒岡州邊境附近。
Jana Pursley, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center, said that based on the area's tectonics and past temblors, damages or casualties were unlikely.
美國國家地震信息中心的地理學家嘉娜·波斯莉表示根據該地區的地理構造和過去的地震信息來看，是沒有造成人員傷亡和損失的可能性的。
Earthquakes are very common in Eureka, a city of about 27,000 people about 270 miles northwest of San Francisco and 100 miles south of the Oregon state line. Nearby Arcata is home to about 17,000 people and Humboldt State University.
在尤里卡，地震司空見慣。尤里卡有着2.7萬的人口，在舊金山西北方向大約270英里，距離俄勒岡州邊境線大約100英里。相鄰的阿克塔則有着1.7萬人口，洪堡大學也座落於此。
The area had a magnitude-5.6 earthquake in February, 2012 that did not cause serious damages or injuries.
在2012年的2月，尤里卡發生過5.6級的地震，也沒有造成嚴重的損失和人員傷亡。
An offshore magnitude-6.5 quake struck offshore in 2010 and caused bumps and cuts among residents and broke glass in some buildings, but it was about 25 miles closer to land than Sunday night's quake.
而2010年則在離海岸不遠地方發生了6.5級地震，造成了地面隆起，使一些居民區地面斷裂，有些建築物的窗戶甚至都被震碎，但是比起週六晚的那場地震，這場地震的震中離地面的距離近了大約25英里。
