Typhoon Safety Tips

臺(tái)風(fēng)天安全指南

? Stay indoors and keep calm.

? 盡量不要出門。并且保持鎮(zhèn)靜。

? Keep informed. Listen to the radio or watch TV to get weather updates. In case of power failures, keep a battery-operated radio handy （with extra batteries）。

? 保持消息暢通。注意廣播或電視里的天氣情況播報(bào)。準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)可以用電池的收音機(jī)（還有備用電池）以防斷電。

? Prepare candles and flashlights. Stock up on food, potable water, batteries and first-aid supplies.

? 準(zhǔn)備蠟燭和手電筒。儲(chǔ)備食物，飲用水，電池和急救用品。

? Secure or move inside outdoor items such as toys, bicycles, furniture, plants and anything moveable on the balcony. Move potted plants and other heavy objects away from windows inside as well.

? 固定或收回屋外、陽臺(tái)上的一切可移動(dòng)物品，包括玩具、自行車、家具、植物等等。將盆栽或其他重物搬離窗戶。

? Watch for leaks around windows and doors. If the wind is strong enough, water may be blown into your home even if the windows are closed. Have handy towels, rags and mops.

? 檢查門窗是否密封。如果風(fēng)力過強(qiáng)，即便關(guān)了窗戶雨水仍有可能進(jìn)入屋內(nèi)，因此需要準(zhǔn)備毛巾和墩布。

? If the storm becomes severe, move into a hallway or area where there is the least exposure to external glass windows.

? 如果風(fēng)力過強(qiáng)，請(qǐng)遠(yuǎn)離窗戶等可能碎裂的物品。

? In case of flooding, turn off the main sources of electricity, gas and water in your home.

? 如遇洪水，關(guān)閉家中一切電源、水源、煤氣。

? After the storm is over, check for broken glass, fallen trees and downed power lines which may present safetyhazards.

? 臺(tái)風(fēng)過去后，仍要注意破碎的玻璃、傾倒的樹或斷落的電線等可能造成危險(xiǎn)的狀況。

typhoon和hurricane的區(qū)別

Typhoon: A tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans

Hurricane: A severe tropical cyclone , originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains.

“臺(tái)風(fēng)”和“颶風(fēng)”都是“熱帶氣旋（tropical cyclone）”的一種。一般來說，在大西洋上生成的熱帶氣旋被稱作颶風(fēng)，而在太平洋上生成的熱帶氣旋被稱作臺(tái)風(fēng)。這也就是為什么在中國，日本，菲律賓一帶我們總是說typhoon，還在美國一帶我們總是聽說hurricane這個(gè)詞了。因此，簡(jiǎn)單說來他們就是一雙胞胎只是住的地方不同而已。
