Professor Easthope thinks calling disasters 'natural' is fatalistic - it involves the belief that people are powerless to change events.

伊斯特霍普教授认为，“自然”灾害的说法是宿命论——它涉及到的观点是人们无力改变一些事件。

Although no-one can prevent an earthquake, there are ways people can reduce the damage done, what Professor Easthope calls 'additional harm'.

虽然没有人能阻止地震发生，但人们还是有办法减少其造成的损害，伊斯特霍普教授称之为“额外的伤害”。
