「日本海側なので津波の影響は受けませんでした」
この大災害で、海外からも安否の確認を多数いただいています。 私は日本海側に住んでいるので津波の被害はなかったので、そう返事したいのですが、どう返事すればうまく伝わるでしょうか？ 以前、ここで質問して教えて頂いた回答を参考に、以下のように書いてみましたが、おかしい文章はありますか？ I and my family are all ok at this earthquake, not affected by tunami. Although ｔhe ultra-big tsunami widely crashed down coast of Japan at Pacific side, fortunately, we are at Sea of Japan side. 特に、「太平洋側」、「日本海側」という表現はこれで良かったでしょうか？

My family and I are okay. We were not affected by the tsunami at all because it hit the Pacific Ocean side of northern Japan and we live on the other side. と言えば、日本海 (the Sea of Japan) を持ち出さなくても表現できます。日本海が日本のどこに位置するかは日本人にとっては常識でも海外の人にとってはピンと来ないかも知れません。(ちなみに日本海側は the Sea of Japan side です。)

土地勘のある人ならOcean PacificやJapan Seaという言葉を入れていいと思います。 私ならeast side of the main islandとかeastとwestあるいはInlandとかいう言葉を使います。

回答、アドバイス、ありがとうございます。 問い合わせをもらった方々の国籍は、英国、ロシア、NZなど様々です。 主にネットオークションで知り合った人たちなので、まず土地勘はないと思います。
補足
eastとwestという表現も考えてみたんですが、日本海側ですがどう見ても「西日本」ではないので、ちょっとニュアンスが違うのかなあと思いました。 Inlandは長野みたいな内陸部にしか使えないんじゃないでしょうか？

>「日本海側なので津波の影響は受けませんでした」 My family is just fine. All of us survived an earthquake and the tsunami. We live in a town facing the Sea of Japan--the other coast side across the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, the quake didn't go through the prefectures on the northwest. Most areas including my hometown remained intact.

The Pacific Ocean side is where the tsunami hit. We live on the other side, the side of Sea of Japan, and luckily we are unaffected. Thank you for your inquiry. 「太平洋側が津波の被害を受けました。私たちは、反対側、日本海側にすんでいますので、幸いにも（津波の）被害は免れました。（安否の）お尋ね、ありがとうございます。」 とも。 太平洋側も日本海側も「特定」され一つしかありませんので、定冠詞 the をおつけになるのがいいと思います。津波も、アノ時の「特定」されるものなので、やはり定冠詞が要ります。あとは通じると思います。

ニューヨークタイムスの新聞記事の途中からですが、下記の訳を知りたいです。 長いですがどなたかよろしくお願いします。 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/12/world/asia/12codes.html?_r=1 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/03/11/world/asia/maps-of-earthquake-and-tsunami-damage-in-japan.html ↑下記の文書が載っているHP But Japan’s “massive public education program” could in the end have saved the most lives, said Rich Eisner, a retired tsunami preparedness expert who was attending a conference on the topic at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Md., on Friday. In one town, Ofunato, which was struck by a major tsunami in 1960, dozens of signs in Japanese and English mark escape routes, and emergency sirens are tested three times a day, Mr. Eisner said. Initial reports from Ofunato on Friday suggested that hundreds of homes had been swept away; the death toll was not yet known. But Matthew Francis of URS Corporation and a member of the civil engineering society’s tsunami subcommittee, said that education may have been the critical factor. “For a trained population, a matter of 5 or 10 minutes is all you may need to get to high ground,” Mr. Francis said. That would be in contrast to the much less experienced Southeast Asians, many of whom died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami because they lingered near the coast. Reports in the Japanese news media indicate that people originally listed as missing in remote areas have been turning up in schools and community centers, suggesting that tsunami education and evacuation drills were indeed effective. A version of this article appeared in print on March 12, 2011, on page A1 of the New York edition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Shifting Plates Caused the Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan Shifting plates and rising water The sudden movement of the Pacific tectonic plate under the North American plate caused a massive earthquake and a tsunami. Magnitude of shaking An 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck the coast of Japan on Friday at a depth of about 17 miles below the earth's surface. Dozens of aftershocks, some of magnitude 6.0 or greater, were felt after the quake. Source: U.S. Geological Survey Predicted tsunami wave heights The tsunami set off warnings for much of the Pacific basin including the west coast of the United States and South America. Officials say waves have not caused major damage in Hawaii and pose no flooding danger in California.

ニューヨークタイムスの新聞記事です。下記の訳を知りたいです。 長いですがどなたかよろしくお願いします。 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/12/world/asia/12codes.html?_r=1 ↑下記の文章が載っているホームページ A bus stop was crushed by part of a wall that had fallen from a nearby building in the city of Sendai, where a tsunami roared over embankments. Hidden inside the skeletons of high-rise towers, extra steel bracing, giant rubber pads and embedded hydraulic shock absorbers make modern Japanese buildings among the sturdiest in the world during a major earthquake. And all along the Japanese coast, tsunami warning signs, towering seawalls and well-marked escape routes offer some protection from walls of water. An oil refinery burned in the city of Chiba after Friday’s earthquake. In Japan, where quakes are more common than in the United States, building codes have long been much more stringent. These precautions, along with earthquake and tsunami drills that are routine for every Japanese citizen, show why Japan is the best-prepared country in the world for the twin disasters of earthquake and tsunami — practices that undoubtedly saved lives, though the final death toll is unknown. In Japan, where earthquakes are far more common than they are in the United States, the building codes have long been much more stringent on specific matters like how much a building may sway during a quake. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, which killed about 6,000 people and injured 26,000, Japan also put enormous resources into new research on protecting structures, as well as retrofitting the country’s older and more vulnerable structures. Japan has spent billions of dollars developing the most advanced technology against earthquakes and tsunamis. Japan has gone much further than the United States in outfitting new buildings with advanced devices called base isolation pads and energy dissipation units to dampen the ground’s shaking during an earthquake. The isolation devices are essentially giant rubber-and-steel pads that are installed at the very bottom of the excavation for a building, which then simply sits on top of the pads. The dissipation units are built into a building’s structural skeleton. They are hydraulic cylinders that elongate and contract as the building sways, sapping the motion of energy. Of course, nothing is entirely foolproof. Structural engineers monitoring the events from a distance cautioned that the death toll was likely to rise as more information became available. Dr. Jack Moehle, a structural engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, said that video of the disaster seemed to show that some older buildings had indeed collapsed. The country that gave the world the word tsunami, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, built concrete seawalls in many communities, some as high as 40 feet, which amounted to its first line of defense against the water. In some coastal towns, in the event of an earthquake, networks of sensors are set up to set off alarms in individual residences and automatically shut down floodgates to prevent waves from surging upriver. Critics of the seawalls say they are eyesores and bad for the environment. The seawalls, they say, can instill a false sense of security among coastal residents and discourage them from participating in regular evacuation drills. Moreover, by literally cutting residents’ visibility of the ocean, the seawalls reduce their ability to understand the sea by observing wave patterns, critics say. Waves from Friday’s tsunami spilled over some seawalls in the affected areas. “The tsunami roared over embankments in Sendai city, washing cars, houses and farm equipment inland before reversing directions and carrying them out to sea,” according to a statement by a Japanese engineer, Kit Miyamoto, circulated by the American Society of Civil Engineers. “Flames shot from some of the houses, probably because of burst gas pipes.”
