"The construction is appalling in Kathmandu," Jackson said.
杰克逊说:“加德满都的建筑令人胆战心惊。
Poverty and pollution make the problem worse, Jackson said. That's because people don't spend time worrying about some future earthquake because they have more pressing problems.
杰克逊说,贫穷和污染使问题更恶化。正因为人们面临着更紧迫的问题,所以没时间担忧未来可能发生的地震。
"If you live in the Kathmandu Valley you have other priorities, daily threats and daily nasty things happen to you in terms of air quality, water quality, pollution, traffic and just poverty," Jackson said. "But it doesn't mean that the earthquakes go away."
“如果你住在加德满都河谷,你会优先考虑其他一些事情,每天会面临威胁以及讨厌的事情,比如空气质量、饮用水质量、污染、交通以及贫困,杰克逊说,“但这不意味着地震就会消失。
