Question

epicenter n.震中；中心 (1) 许多西藏人就住在震中，跟汉族羌族一道。(2) 多亏了飞机把食物和帐篷及时送到震中。(3) 中国恰巧是今年非典的中心。 When violent movement happens beneath the Earth’s surface, earthquakes send out destructive waves of vibration, sort of like ripples after you throw a rock into a lake. The epicenter is the place on the surface where those ripples start. The Greek epikentros means “situated on a center,” and that’s where you’ll find the epicenter, dead center in an earthquake’s destruction. Of course, you don’t really want to find it, because it’s kind of dangerous there.
