1.Everywhere survivors looked, there was nothing but ruins. Nearly everything in the city was destroyed.
2. About 75 percent of the city's factories and buildings, 90 percent of its homes, and all of its hospitals were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves, but no wind could blow them away.
3.Most bridges had fallen or were not safe to cross. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of metal.
4.Tens of thousands of cows, hundreds of thousands of pigs, and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water.
5.People were in shock------and then, later that afternoon, another big quake shook Tangshan again. Even more buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get.
6.People began to wonder how long the the disaster would last.
幸存者目及之处无一不是废墟,万物尽毁。市内大约75%的工厂和大楼、90%的住房和所有的医院都倒塌了。砖块就像秋天的红叶覆盖着地面,但是却没有风能将其吹走。大多数桥梁不是塌坍了,就是无法安全通行了;铁轨变成了废金属块;数万头奶牛、数十万头猪和数百万只鸡也都死掉了。沙子灌满水井,井水消失殆尽。人们惊恐万状,然而临近傍晚时分,又一次强烈的地震撼动唐山。更多的楼房倒塌了,没有水和食物,电也停了。人们心里开始疑惑这场灾难还会持续多久.
