日本强震导致日本本州岛发生2.4米位移

The main island of Japan has shifted 2.4 metre due to Friday's powerful tremor, says the US Geological Survey.美国地质调查局表示，由于周五在日本发生的强烈地震导致日本本州岛发生了2.4米位移。

Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, meanwhile, says the earth's axis has also shifted 25 cm as a result of the quake in Japan, according to a report released by Reuters.据路透社报道，意大利国家地质与地球物理研究所也表示，由于日本的强震地球的轴线也发生了25厘米的位移。

The tremor was so massive that thousands fled their homes from coastlines around the Pacific Rim, fearful of a tsunami.此次强震使得上千居住在环太平洋沿岸的的居民由于惧怕地震产生的海啸而逃离家园。

Japan's northeast coastline was hammered by the huge tsunami that turned houses and ships into floating debris as it surged into cities and villages, sweeping aside everything in its path.日本的东北方海岸线被海啸重创，房屋、船只被海浪卷起都一并冲向了沿岸的城市、乡村，所到之处无物可挡。

The tsunami followed an 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck northeast Japan on Friday, killing over 1,000 with most people appeared to have drowned.周五在日本东北部发生的8.9级大地震夺取了上千人的生命，随之而来的海啸导致这上千个生命中的大部分都是被淹死的。

Some 3,000 residents living near nuclear plant in Fukushima prefecture, some 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, evacuated from the area as radiation leaked from one of its reactors.住在福岛核电站附近的3千居民以及东京以北240千米范围内的民众由于核电站的一个反应器出现核泄漏而被紧急转移。

The north-eastern city of Kesennuma, with a population of 74,000, has been hit by widespread fires and about one-third of the city was submerged by the tsunami waters, Reuters said quoting local media.路透社引用当地媒体的报道说，然而东北部拥有7万4千名居民的气仙沼市则被大火肆虐，城市的3分之1已经被海啸的海水所吞没。
