Transcript:
记者：各位好，欢迎各位收听「Chinese Beyond Emory」，我是在日本的特派记者黄雅筠。今天，我们来到日本的东京迪士尼附近，这个地方，因为地震，土地发生了很大的变化。我们访问到一位居民。
您好，能不能先请您简单自我介绍一下。
居民：您好，我姓倪，叫倪雅惠。我到日本来念博士班，已经8年了。我住在东京迪士
尼附近。
记者：地震发生的时候，是怎麽样的情况？
居民：地震是发生在2011年3月11号的下午，房子摇得非常厉害，整个书架都倒下来，杯子玻璃也都摔破了，我跟朋友们都很害怕，赶快冲出房子。地震停了以后，这里的土地，全部都变成了泥巴，我们都吓了一跳。
记者：为什麽这里的土地，会变成这样呢？
居民：我们这里本来是海，经过填土的工作，变成了陆地，所以，土地里面的水分很多。我们这里以前也发生过好几次地震，可是都没出现这样的情况，但是，这次的地震实在太大了，所以把土地里面的水分，全部都震出来了，变成现在你看到的泥巴。
记者：这里有没有人受伤或死亡？
居民：我们这一边没有人受伤，也没有人死亡，真是非常幸运，所以也不算是灾区，但是就是因为土地全部变成泥巴，生活很不方便，又停水、又停电，我又要做研究，实在很不容易。
记者：东京迪士尼，就在你们附近，你知道那边的情况怎麽样？
居民：东京迪士尼也像这里一样，土地全部变成泥巴，所以现在暂停开放了。要等土地都整修好了，才会重新开放。
记者：我希望这里的土地可以早一点整修好，大家的生活可以早一点恢复正常。今天谢谢你接受我们的访问。也感谢各位的收听。我是Chinese Beyond Emory的日本特派记者黄雅筠，再见。
