March 11, 2011, 11:21 AM这个“地震”是比较干脆的：
地。。earth
震。。quake
可是，谁能猜tsunami的中文翻译？：
海啸
海 【不是大海，不是洋】不过还比较容易猜
啸。。"to whiste, to hiss" 。。有些容易了解但我觉得不是那么容易猜。。我看不中这个单词
亦称是“津浪”。。这个我特别看不中
..river crossing wave...come on..surely there's better words for it than these.
bababardwan
好，明白了啸的意思，可是另外的情况也可以发出这个声音【所以不太特定，不太具体】，而且这个啸只是形容一个海啸的方面【而据我想法，不是海啸最重要的方面】

天灾不分善恶...
bababardwan
有道理，可是还关心你们
bababardwan
就是，保佑他们
bababardwan
顺便，据我所知Changye住在中国东北方
zhenlijiang
吴丹老师，很感谢你的热心你的祈祷。Changye 我想他还在中国，但不知道他家人住在日本哪里。
Baba, 朋友们，很感谢你们的关心和鼓励。
It's terrible, we're OK, I have a cousin in Sendai, and his sister who usually isn't there happened to be there on business. We know now they're both OK. All of you who have sent your good wishes and prayers thank you very much. The aftershocks keep coming and we're worried still about tsunamis, nuclear power plants in the earthquake area, and those trapped under rubble. I couldn't sleep last night, am about to snatch a few winks now (with protection around my head) ...

晚安/早安/上午安，睡安觉【诶，我猜这个词语，这个表现。。在谷歌看起来这样说】

March 19, 2011, 07:27 AMHi bababardwan, bodawei, stephenzhu, and wudan
Thank you very much for your comments. I'm really grateful for the emergency assistance offered by people all over the world. As a Japanese, I want to say, "THANK YOU!"
PS. I'm still in China, and my family members are all OK. Thankfully, they are leading a normal life.
bababardwan
Awesome ! Changye, so good to see you..so good to drop in and let us know you and your family are all ok. Our thoughts are all still with our Japanese friends at this terrible time. Take care mate.
bodawei
Hi Changye - so good to hear from you (and your chubby dog - I almost forgot!). We've missed you here. :)
Glad to hear that your family members are okay.
You may know that yesterday was a great Day of Panic in China - I received warnings that something apocalyptic could occur 'on Friday'. I was told 'not to sleep' (I really didn't follow that part of the advice - maybe I was to remain alert.) It seems people were in a state of panic over the possibility of meltdowns at the power plants. There was a lot of queues at supermarkets even way out where I live. Salt has disappeared off the shelves. I tried to buy some yesterday and it was 卖完了 everywhere. It seems to me that text messaging and QQ contributes these days to mass panic ..
I spent the day reading 'Krakatoa' by Simon Winchester - an ideal text for these troubled times. The book reminds us of the mindless machinations (and immense power) of Nature and the seeming insignificance of Man on the face of the earth. I recommend this book.
