Ofunato

It is a measure of the high standards of social order Japanese set themselves that residents of the battered port of Ofunato recoil with dismay at rumours that four people have been arrested for stealing from ruined homes.

日本人对自身社会秩序设定的标准之高，从一件事中便可见一斑：在遭灾的港口城市大船渡，据说有四人因在被摧毁的人家行窃而被捕，这一传闻令当地居民颇为惊愕。

Tsunami waves of12 and19 inches hit the city of Ofunato, and4-to12-inch waves generated by the quake struck at least four other towns in the area, the agency said.

高达12到19英寸的海啸袭击了大船渡市，地震引起的高达4到12英寸的海浪还袭击了这个地区的至少其它4个城镇。

Further up the coast in Ofunato, the port's tugboat still sits in someone's backyard about a kilometer from the water.

沿着海岸北行到大渡船市，原来在港湾里的拖船，如今还留在距离港湾一公里远的内陆居民住家的后院。
