【英音模仿秀】具有建设性的地壳运动

❤ 模仿文本：The most remarkable¹ effect of this earthquake was the permanent elevation² of the land. There can be no doubt that the land around the Bay of Concepción was upraised two or three feet. The elevation of this province is particularly interesting from its having been the theatre of several other violent earthquakes. It's hardly possible to doubt that this great elevation has been affected³ by successive small uprisings such as that which accompanied or caused the earthquake of this year. 

 

❤ 译文：地震最明显的影响是地壳上升。毫无疑问，康塞普西翁港附近的土地上升了两三英尺。这里的地壳上升特别引人注目，因为该地区曾发生过数次大地震。无可辩驳的是，这么明显的地壳上升是受连续小型上升运动的影响，这些运动有的是因今年的地震而生，有的则引发了这次的地震。
