All floors are pancaking down, and there are people on those floors.

所有的楼层都是平压下来的，每层楼里都有很多人。

First, we did our best to stop what was called pancaking by utilities.

第一，我们尽了最大的努力阻止公用事业公司的所谓的“叠煎饼”策略。

Meanwhile, they could file for another rate increase and do it all over again, thus pancaking unapproved rates on top of one another.

与此同时，他们还可以再一次申请提高税率，重复这样的程序，如此反复申请，像叠煎饼一样，将没有得到批准的费用层层累加起来。

Our truck was being tossed to and fro like a toy, and when it stopped, I looked out the windows to see buildings “pancaking” down, like I have never witnessed before.

我们的卡车突然像玩具一样，从山路上被“扔”出来，当他停下的时候，我望出窗外看到一栋栋大楼好像是“坠落”到地面上，那是谁都没有目睹过的场面。

The structure had toppled sideways and collapsed, pancaking on itself. No walls were standing-just massive slabs of masonry-rebar-and bricks-in a pile three stories deep.

楼房向一侧倒塌，完全平了，不剩一堵立着的墙，只有大块的石料、钢筋、砖，堆成三层楼那么高。
