The international community is rushing to provide emergency aid for the impoverished Caribbean nation, where as many as three million people are believed to have been affected by Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude temblor that struck outside the capital, Port-au-Prince.

Still, the temblor struck a rural but relatively densely populated region.

不过地震虽然发生在农村地区，但当地人口稠密。

Experts say a much bigger temblor, possibly of magnitude 7.8, is likely to hit near Los Angeles on the southern San Andreas Fault in coming years.

专家表示，未来几年，更加强大的地震，或许是7.8级的地震可能会袭击南部的圣安德利亚断层。

When the temblor struck, that weakness probably caused a bigger portion of the sea bottom in the area to deform suddenly, thereby displacing more seawater and creating bigger tsunamis.

当地震发生时，这个脆弱的地方可能造成该区域海底一个较大的部分突然变型，从而使更多的海水改变位置形成更大规模的海啸。

The massive temblor may have caused catastrophic landslides, damming up the Sanxingdui culture's main water source and diverting it to a new location.

这次巨大的震动可能引起了灾难性的滑坡和山崩，挡住了三星堆文明的主要水源，并将水引到了一个新的地点去。

The temblor was in the same area as last month's6.5 earthquake that damaged hundreds of buildings in Eureka, a quiet town on Humboldt Bay.

上月该地还发生了6.5级地震，尤里卡的建筑遭到了损坏。尤里卡是洪堡湾一个安静的小镇。

The tilde character (~) is used as a column separator so that the data collected in the flat file can be parsed using a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel to analyze it further.

波浪符号（~）用作列分隔符，让收集到文件中的数据可以使用电子表格应用程序（比如microsoft excel）来进行解析，以便进一步分析它们。

For example, you can refer to your home directory with the sigil~ ( tilde).

例如，您可以使用符号~（波浪符号）引用您的home目录。

You must put the name of a user on your system immediately after the tilde.

你必须把你的系统上的用户名后立即波形。

The convention used here is to name the conjugate the same as the service specification, except starting with a~. ( tilde symbol).

这里所使用的会话是为了将变形命名为同服务规范一致的名字，除了以符号~开头之外。

To log out from the zone enterthe~. ( tilde dot) command.

要从专区注销，输入“~.”命令。

You can switch the case of the alpha character underneath your cursor in vi the tilde key (~).

在vi中，可以切换游标下的字母字符的大小写，方法是按Escape，然后按波浪号键（~）。

You can also use a tilde (~) to mean your own home directory and~ username to mean the home directory of the user named username.

您还可以使用一个波浪符号（~）来表示自己的主目录，并使用~用户名表示名为username的用户的主目录。

You can also use tilde to list or work with files in another user's home directory ( if your permissions allow it).

还可以使用波浪号列示或处理另一个用户的主目录中的文件（如果有足够权限）。

In parenthesis now is a tilde which is shorthand notation for My Home Directory.

在圆括号里的，代表根目录。

In the following examples, the tilde character is shorthand for "the home directory of."

在下面的例子中，波形符字符为“主目录的简写。”

In fact, the$ HOME variable can be so helpful that it's got an alias: the tilde (~).

事实上，$HOME变量太有用了，以至于它有一个别名：波浪号（~）。

A destructor is named in a similar manner, except that it has a~ ( tilde) followed by the parent's name.

析构方法按类似的方式命名，除了它的母体名前有一个~（否定号）。

Tilde are not used, as they are often much bigger than the spacing modifier accents.

口音旋和波形不被用来作为他们往往远远大于间距修饰的口音。

You'll immediately notice something odd: The far left column of the text editor is filled with tilde characters.

您马上将看到奇怪的地方：文本编辑器最左边的一栏中填满了波浪符号。

With Rossella and enrico. tilde's here too.

罗瑟拉和恩瑞克，泰迪也来了。
