1. You should keep an adequate supply of bottled water in your house for drinking. Having clean drinking water in an emergency is critical. If you have ever become real thirsty, you will understand the need for this preparation.

你應該在家中準備足夠的瓶裝水以供飲用。在緊急情況時有乾淨的飲用水是至關重要的。如果你真的口渴了,你就會了解這種準備是需要的。

2. Loose items outside of your house should be placed inside if a typhoon is coming. The winds are very strong in a typhoon and easily blow loose items away. Rushing water from the heavy rains will wash items away too.

如果颱風來時,應該把你家外面鬆動的物品放置到室內。颱風的風很強而且很容易把鬆動的物品吹走。豪雨帶來的湍急水勢也會把東西沖走。

3. If you have pets, they should not be left outside without good shelter from the typhoon. It is very dangerous for pets to be outside. They might be caught in rushing water from the heavy rains. Also, they could be struck by wind blown debris.

如果你有寵物,不應該讓寵物留在沒有良好遮蔽物的戶外。寵物待在外面是很危險的。他們有可能會被困在豪雨導致的湍急水流中。他們也可能會被風吹落的碎片擊中。

4. You should make sure you have enough food in the house so you do not have to go to the store when the storm is bad. Like clean drinking water, food is important for your well-being and health. Going without food, even for 24 hours, will make you weaker and your strength will wane quickly.

你應該確保家中有足夠的食物,這樣你才不用在狂風暴雨的時候去商店買。就跟乾淨的飲用水一樣,食物對你的健康也很重要。即便24小時沒有食物吃也會讓你更虛弱,並且讓你很快就沒有力氣。

5. You should buy good rain gear so that, if you must go outside during the storm, you can protect yourself from the heavy wind and rains. There will be times when you must go outside, even during a storm. Someone might need your help. You will become wet very quickly without rain gear and if it is chilly and windy this may lead to hypothermia, which is life threatening.

你應該買好雨具,如果你得在暴風雨時外出,你可以保護自己免於受到強風和豪雨的侵襲。有時候你必須外出,即使在暴風雨中也是如此。有人可能需要你的幫助。沒有雨具你很快就會濕掉,而且如果外頭寒冷風大,你可能會體溫過低,這會造成生命危險。

1. I would look to see if there was identification in the wallet. If I found a telephone number I would call the person. If I found an e-mail address or a regular mailing address, I could use it to contact the person.

我會看皮夾裡面是否有身分證。如果我找到電話號碼,我會打電話給那個人。如果我找到對方的電子郵件或一般的地址,我會寄信來聯絡那個人。

我會將皮夾還給它的主人,這樣做才是對的。皮夾主人可能需要這筆錢來付租金或是為家人買食物。

5. I would look for an address, e-mail or telephone number inside the wallet. Often, in today's world, people will have these identifications in their wallet. When you buy a wallet, it usually has a blank identification card inside for you to fill out.

我會在皮夾內找地址,電子郵件或電話號碼。現在的人通常會在皮夾裡放識別卡。當你買皮夾時,裡面通常有一張空白的識別卡讓你填寫你的個人資料。

6. I would place an ad in the local newspaper looking for the owner. This would be a good way to try and find the owner. In small towns, like my village, many people read the newspaper each week. Our newspaper is only published once each week.

我會在當地報紙上刊登一則廣告來尋找皮夾主人。用這種方式來尋找主人是值得嘗試的好方法。在像是我家鄉那樣的小鄉鎮中,許多人會每週讀報紙。我們的報紙每週只出版一次。
