石卷市

我们在石卷市做志愿者的首要工作是体力活，比如清理污泥和垃圾，以及收拾房间。

For the first part of our volunteer act in Ishinomaki , our task was quite heavy labor as removing sludge , debris or cleaning houses .

日本大地震一周年就要到了，石卷市似乎回归了常态，至少表面上是这样。大部分地区的海啸残骸都清理干净了，越来越多的商家重新开张。

As the first anniversary of the disaster approaches , Ishinomaki appears , on the surface at least , to be returning to a new level of normality , with the tsunami debris cleared away in most areas and a growing number of businesses reopening .

据报道，日本宫城县石卷市的很多居民称自己遭遇活见鬼，大约1/5的海啸遇难事故都发生在这附近。

Numerous reports of ghost sightings have reportedly been made by residents in the city of Ishinomaki in Miyagi prefecture , home to nearly a fifth of all tsunami fatalities .

石卷市精神科医师原敬三说：人们声称见到鬼魂的地方大多是完全被海啸冲毁的地方。石卷市是日本那次近海地震所引发海啸的重灾区之一。

The places where people say they see ghosts are largely those areas completely swept away by the tsunami , said Keizo Hara , a psychiatrist in the city of Ishinomaki , one of the areas worst-hit by the waves touched off by an offshore earthquake .
