yushu earthquake
On April 14th, residents of China's remote Yushu County, located on the Tibetan plateau, were awoken by a magnitude 6.9 earthquake. In the sparsely populated villages and the larger town of Gye gu, thousands of wood-earth buildings collapsed and many larger structured heavily damaged or destroyed. The region is difficult to reach for the response teams of the Chinese government outside aid groups - lying at an elevation of 3,700m (12,000 ft) and connected by few roads, most of which were damaged in the quake.

在2010年4月14日,在中国西藏高原的玉树县,发生了6.9级的地震。在人口稀少的村庄和比较大的城镇桂谷(此处有待参考),数以千计的建筑物倒塌,许多大型建筑都受到了严重破坏或毁坏。该地区在一个海拔3700米(12,000英尺)以及道路稀少以致我国政府对外救援队伍难以很及时的对震区展开救援工作。
Chinese state media now says the death toll has risen to 1,144. Rescuers continue to search for survivors as homeless residents work to recover what they can and set up shelter from the freezing overnight temperatures.
据中国官方媒体报道,目前死亡人数已上升至1,144。救援人员正在继续搜寻幸存者,同时为无家可归的居民支起了他们过夜的帐篷,保证了他们在冰冻的夜晚有所住。
