新西蘭發生6.3級地震 已致65人死亡

At least 65 people have died after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island.
新西蘭南島城市基督城發生里氏6.3級地震，目前至少65人在地震中喪生。

The tremor, which hit at 1251 (2351 GMT on Monday) only 10km (6.2 miles) south-east of the city at a depth of 5km (3.1 miles), caused widespread destruction.
地震發生在當地時間中午12點51分（北京時間早上7點51分），震中距離城市西南僅10公里，震源深度近5公里，因而造成了大規模毀壞。

The fire service said numerous people were trapped in buildings, and a state of emergency has been declared.
消防隊稱無數居民目前被困房屋內。國家也宣佈進入緊急狀態。

The damage is said to be far worse than after September's 7.1-magnitude quake.
這次地震造成的傷亡據稱遠遠高於去年九月的7.1級地震。

Two people were seriously injured by the first tremor, whose epicentre was further away and deeper. It caused an estimated $3bn in damage, but there were no fatalities.
上一次地震的震中比這次距離城市更遠、震源深度也更深。上次有兩人嚴重受傷，造成了約合3億元損失，但沒有人員死亡。

There have been several aftershocks since last September's quake, with a 4.9 magnitude tremor hitting just after Christmas.
在去年九月的地震之後，有數次餘震發生。有一次4.9級的剛好發生在聖誕節之後。
