日本大部分海岸沿线都修建了水泥防波堤，但这些措施被证明无法抵御如此强烈的地震和海啸。

There are also concrete sea walls around much of the Japanese coastline. But these measures proved no match for the powerful earthquake and tsunami.

沿着新的海岸线，我看到施工队伍正在建设海堤。那里有无数的水泥泵车、起重机、大型钢管和闪着焊花的焊枪。

Along the new coastline I can see construction crews building a sea wall. There are cement-pumping trucks, cranes, large steel pipes, and the flash of welding torches.
