S SO often with earthquakes, this one started almost imperceptibly. It was lunchtime, and people in Tokyo are apt to take tremors lightly. It took just a frozen heartbeat, though, for that to change. One of us was seated at a coffee shop along a huge slab of oak that sat 14. It shook so violently, people raced outside. Another of us was next to a busy kitchen; metal pots shook, then crashed off the shelves, and with the noise diners came rushing up from tables in the basement and out into the streets. Within minutes, Tokyo’s narrow alleys were choked with people, some visibly shocked, most eerily quiet, listening to the clanking power lines overhead, and quite understandably bereft without mobile-phone signals. As I walked onto one of the shopping boulevards of Omote-Sando, a sea of evacuees from the buildings that run along it let out a roar of fear when a second—and then a third—aftershock hit. As cars swayed, and trees lurched overhead, you could feel the power of the beast writhing underneath Japan.

a huge slab of oak that sat 14 一张能坐14人的橡木长桌
quite understandably bereft without mobile-phone signals 为什么会译成难以理解？
just the sort of offbeat information that is uplifting in the face of adversity 之类在灾难中开始流行的特别信息 （uplift是高涨/流行而不是更正）
trudging commuters 个人觉得翻为“步履维艰的通勤者”比较好，因为这不是在火车上，不存在乘客一说
tens of thousands of people in one city alone, Sendai, are in shelters 光是在仙台这一个城市中，就有数以万计的人们蜗居在避难所 （alone修饰的是city而不是people）
