大家都知道在中国的四川—汶川发生了里氏8。0级的地震，数百座房子在顷刻间变成一堆瓦砾，许多人被埋在了瓦砾中。从电视上看到这些惨状，我就在想：能发明一种防地震的房子那该多好啊！ We all know that the Richter 8 happened in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province of China. In the earthquake of magnitude 0, hundreds of houses turned into a pile of rubble in an instant, many people were buried in the rubble. Seeing these tragedies on TV, I was thinking: how nice it would be to invent an earthquake proof house! 我们现在住的房子都是用钢筋水泥建造的，大地震来时，房屋倒塌，人们会被钢筋水泥砸伤或夺去生命。我发明的房子所用的材料就截然不同，它用的材料是橡胶，这种橡胶可不是普通的橡胶，它是经过高温消毒，还有淡淡的香味。对人体没有害，所有的房子都是形态各异的不倒翁，地震来时，房屋只会自转几圈。 The houses we live in now are all built of reinforced concrete. When a big earthquake comes, the houses collapse, and people will be injured or killed by reinforced concrete. The house I invented uses different materials. It uses rubber. This kind of rubber is not ordinary rubber. It is sterilized by high temperature and has light fragrance. There is no harm to human body. All houses are tumblers of different shapes. When the earthquake comes, the houses will only rotate a few times. |
