A number of strong earthquakes have hit Hawaii’s Big Island, a day after the eruption of the Kilauea volcano.
在基拉韦厄火山喷发一天后,夏威夷的大岛发生了多次地震。
One 6.9 magnitude quake, south-east of the volcano, was the most powerful to hit the US state since 1975.
发生在火山东南部的一次6.9级地震为夏威夷1975年以来震级最强地震。
It briefly cut power and sent people fleeing from buildings but there was no tsunami warning.
它造成了暂时断电,使得人们从大厦中逃离,但是没有海啸预警。
Meanwhile, several fresh eruptions spewed fountains of lava 30m (100ft), destroying several homes and leaving fissures on three streets.
同时,火山的再次喷发溅出了30米高(100英尺)的岩浆,毁坏了几户人家,使得三条街道出现裂痕。
The Civil Defense Agency told any remaining residents to evacuate.
民防局已经告知遗留居民撤退。
It said there were deadly levels of dangerous sulphur dioxide gas in the air and emergency crews would not be able to help anyone affected.
据称,空气当中弥漫的危险二氧化硫气体已经达到致命水平,消防人员无法向受到影响的人们提供帮助。
The new volcanic activity in Mt Kilauea’s lower east rift zone amounted to "vigorous lava spattering", the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, adding that additional outbreaks in the area were likely.
美国地质勘探局表示,基拉韦厄峰东部低洼裂谷带的岩浆喷射进入了“活跃期”,这一区域可能还会发生火山喷发。
