Earthquake means shaking earth. Each year there are a million earthquakes around the world. Some places have more earthquakes than others. Some earthquakes are strong while others are only gentle. An earthquake can happen at any time. When the earth shakes, everything moves around. So it is useful to have an emergency plan to help keep you safe and out of danger in an earthquake.

地震意味着震动地球。 每年世界各地都会发生一百万次地震。 有些地方的地震比其他地方多。 有些地震很强烈，有些则很轻微。 地震随时都可能发生。 当地球震动时，一切都在移动。 所以有一个应急计划是很有用的，它可以帮助你在地震中保持安全，远离危险。
