【單詞講解】

Blast和explosion均表示“爆炸”，可以替換使用，不過blast除了表示“爆炸”以外，還可以表示“（爆炸產(chǎn)生的）沖擊波；強(qiáng)勁的氣流；一陣...”等，比如：a blast of freezing rain（一陣?yán)淅涞谋辏琣 blast of anger（一股怒氣），feel the blast from several miles away（感受到了幾英里之外的沖擊波）。

【詞匯講解】

這里的locate表示“to find or discover the exact position of something”，即“找到或確定某物的具體位置”的意思，在偵探劇中我們經(jīng)常會聽到這個(gè)詞，比如：The police were unable to locate the murder weapon（警方?jīng)]能找到殺人兇器），Sniffer dogs located the drugs（嗅探犬找到了毒品）等等。在日常的語境中，locate經(jīng)常用來表示“位于，坐落于”等意思，比如：The factory was located too close to a residential area（那座工廠的位置離居民區(qū)太近），My home is located on the outskirts of town（我們家在郊區(qū)）。

More than 2,000 people, including 210 firefighters, have been involved in the search and rescue work, and 913 households near the market have been evacuated for their safety.

The commission and the Ministry of Emergency Management also asked local governments to better educate the public about evacuation procedures and to carry out drills so they won't panic when accidents happen.
