As of 2:30pm yesterday, 13 people had died and 1,145 were injured in the earthquake, while 405 were trapped or stranded and six were missing, data released by the authority showed.

　　In Hualien County, the worst-affected region, buildings buckled and landslides were triggered. Also, the aftershocks have loosened earth and made rocks continue falling intermittently. Those listed as stranded are considered safebut are cut off by landslides and other blockages on rural roads near the island’s hard-hit east coast, said the authorities, adding that the rescue mission was affected by the aftershocks and inclement weather.
　　
　　受災最嚴重的花蓮縣，建築物倒塌，引發山崩。同時，餘震使大地鬆動，導致岩石繼續間歇性掉落。當局認為受困民眾是安全的，但因山體滑坡和島上受災最嚴重的東海岸附近鄉村道路堵塞以致其與外界隔絕，並補充說明救援任務受到餘震和惡劣天氣影響。
　　
buckle：（v.）因溫度、壓力而彎曲
trigger：（v.）引發，通常指不好的事情
intermittently：（adv.）斷斷續續地；間歇地

　　National Airborne Service Corps helicopters flew to areas that had been cut off near Taroko National Park and were deployed to airlift 82 trapped people to safety. But bad weather limited the number of flights, forcing rescuers to focus on the most vulnerable ones and gave the priority to the elderly, the weak, women, children and people with injuries or chronic diseases.One thousand kilograms of relief supplies were airdropped to those stranded in the mountains, to ensure that they’re not left without food. Meanwhile, engineers were working around the clock to clear massive boulders from roads and tunnel entrances.
