(Chang Chiung-fang / tr. by Robert Green) At 8 a.m. on December 26, 2004, an earthquake struck the seafloor just northwest of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The quake, which registered 9.0 on the Richter scale, was as powerful as 16,000 atomic bombs.
去年十二月二十六日上午八時，印尼蘇門達臘島西北方海底發生芮氏規模 9.0 大地震，威力相當於一萬六千顆原子彈。
