在科学不发达的过去,人们常常用一些神话传说来解释地震的成因。古代中国人认为地底下住着一条大鳌鱼。只要大鳌鱼一翻身,大地就会颤动起来。古希腊的神话则认为海神波赛冬就是掌管地震的神。南美的传说与中国有些相似,他们认为地球是由巨人来支撑的,只要巨人的身体一动,就会引起地震。在古埃及和古印度也有地下住着怪兽而产生地震的传说。对于掌握了科学知识的现代人来说,“鳌鱼作怪”的解释当然显得非常荒谬。我们知道,地震其实是地壳不断运动、互相挤压产生的结果。由
In the past when science was underdeveloped, some myths and legends were often used to explain the causes of earthquakes. Ancient Chinese people think that there is a big fish under the ground. As long as the big fishes stand up, the earth will tremble. Ancient Greek mythology is that Poseidon Poseidon is in charge of the earthquake god. South American legends and China somewhat similar, they think the earth is backed by a giant, as long as the gigantic body motion, it will cause earthquakes. In ancient Egypt and ancient India there are also underground monsters and earthquake legend. For the modern people who have mastered scientific knowledge, of course, the interpretation of “fishes” is ridiculous. We know that the earthquake is actually the result of crustal movement and mutual squeezing. by
