Since Thursday's earthquake, the area had been jolted by rolling aftershocks, including one of a 5.4 magnitude that had roused Californians on Friday morning.

周四的地震发生以后，该地区一直余震不断，周五早晨，一场5.4级的余震就惊醒了所有人的睡梦。

At length, one evening when dinner was over and I had dropped into a slumber quite worn out, —for my nights had been agitated and my rest broken by fearful dreams, —I was roused by the welcome footstep on the staircase.

最后，一天晚上吃完晚饭，我已经精疲力竭地睡着了——因为我的夜晚一直很烦躁，我的休息被可怕的梦打断——我被楼梯上欢迎的脚步声吵醒了。
