The collapse accident happened at around 9:40 am when relatives and fellow villagers were attending the birthday party banquet of an 80-year-old person at a restaurant in Chenzhuang village in Xiangfen county, in the city of Linfen, North China's Shanxi province, witnesses said.

據(jù)目擊者稱，坍塌事故發(fā)生在當天9時40分左右，當時，親朋及當?shù)卮迕裾谏轿魇∨R汾市襄汾縣陳莊村一飯店內(nèi)參加一位80歲老人的壽宴。

【單詞講解】

簡單回顧一下accident和incident的區(qū)別。Accident指不可預知的，偶然發(fā)生的意外事件，通常會導致人員受傷或者財務損失等不好的后果，比如：car、traffic accident(車禍);incident指代的范圍要大得多，可以指各種事件，好的壞的，有計劃的、偶然的發(fā)生的事情都可以用incident來表示，比如： shooting incident (槍擊事件)、an isolated incident(孤立事件)等。再看個例句：The demonstration took place without incident.展示活動順利進行。

The rescue operation ended at 3:52 am on Sunday. At that point, 57 people had been pulled out of the debris of the collapsed two-story building, including the 29 dead, seven severely injured and 21 slightly injured, rescue headquarters said.

截至8月30日3時52分，坍塌事故搶險救援工作結(jié)束，共搜救出57名被埋人員，其中29人遇難，7人重傷，21人輕傷。

事故現(xiàn)場救援人員達840人

Top provincial officials on Saturday ordered all-out efforts for the rescue operation involving 840 rescue workers and more than 100 medical staff.

山西省領(lǐng)導同志派出840名救援人員，100多名醫(yī)療人員，要求全力進行救援。

Rescuers earlier used small tools and bare hands to search for trapped people as the narrowness of the collapsed site and fears of further collapse complicated the rescue efforts. They later continued the rescue operation with the help of large machinery, sniffer dogs, and life detectors.

由于空間狹小，且有二次坍塌的風險，給救援工作造成一定困難，救援人員最初使用小型工具、徒手挖等方式搜尋被困人員，之后，大型挖掘機入場，救援人員利用搜救犬、生命探測儀等工具全面搜索被困人員。
