请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
都江堰中兴镇发生山体滑坡(landslide)——这是2008年四川地震时受灾最严重的地方。山体滑坡覆盖了大约两平方公里，摧毁了至少11所房子。到目前为止，已有200多名居民被疏散。山体滑坡几个小时后，巡逻队员到达现场时，一切都已经是一片汪洋。目击者描述石头和残骸(debris)从山上滚下来，不到三分钟就把八座房屋吞没了。
参考译文:
The landslide occurred in the town of Zhongxing is Dujiangyan —one of the places badly hit by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The landslide, which covered about 2 sq km, damaged at least 11 homes. So far more than 200 residents have been evacuated. By the time patrol members arrived at the scene, a few hours after the landslide，everything was already a vast expanse of water. Eyewitnesses described stones and debris running down the hill and covering around eight homes in less than three minutes.
