各位讀者好:
我們都知道預防勝於治療(Prevention is better than cure),各種天災如果能事先做好防範與準備工作,能減少很多生命與財產的損失。在以下新聞中,地震學家陳一文先生透露他曾經三次預測過四川大地震。和他一起在「中國地球物理學會天災預測專業委員會」工作的多位地震專家曾經準確預測過1976年發生的唐山大地震(Tangshan Earthquake)。

消息指出,四川大地震曾經被科學家多次預測過,但他們的警告一直被忽視。
Chen Yiwen, an advisor of the Committee of Natural Hazard Prediction in China, conducted an interview Chinese state television, CCTV, on May 14, saying he has given the official China Seismological Bureau predictions on three separate occasions since 2006. Especially on May 3, 2008, he personally sent the prediction report to the China Seismological Bureau.
5 月14日,中國地球物理學會天災預測專業委員會顧問陳一文先生,在中共中央電視臺CCTV的訪談中說,從2006年以來,他曾經向中國地震局提出過三次地震預測。特別是 2008年5月3日,陳一文又親手向中國地震局發了一份汶川地區可能發生強震的預報。
The interview was aired live but was not allowed to be re-broadcast.
這段訪談是現場直播,但節目重播時已被刪掉。
According to Chen, other scientists also provided predictions of strong quakes in the Wenchuan area to the China Seismological Bureau. But Chen told The Epoch Times that party officials never interviewed experts from the committee of natural hazard prediction or acquainted themselves with the scientists’ work.
據陳一文所知,還有其他科學家也曾向中國地震局提出過汶川地區可能發生強震的預測。但是,他告訴大紀元記者,中共官員從來沒有訪問過天災預測專業委員會的專家,也從來沒有深入瞭解過他們地震預測的工作。
