情態副詞

A dish falls on the floor in your kitchen.

Your dog barks, and more things fall and smash.

你的狗開始狂吠，更多東西接連掉落、摔碎。

It's an earthquake and you need to act fast.

If you don't, you could get injured, trapped, or worse.

否則你可能會受傷、被困，甚至更糟。

那麼，該如何在地震中生存呢？

Well, here's how to do it, according to science.

Earthquakes can happen anywhere at any time.

The Earth's outer crust is made of tectonic plates, floating on the planet's upper mantle.

地球的外層地殼由構造板塊組成，漂浮在上部地函之上。

The edges of these plates, called fault lines, are where most earthquakes occur.

這些板塊的邊緣稱為斷層帶，大多數地震都發生在這裡。

When the plates butt up against each other and get stuck, that causes pressure to build up.

當板塊彼此擠壓並卡住時，壓力就會逐漸累積。

Once the plates move again, that's when an earthquake happens.

一旦板塊再次移動，就會引發地震。

Most of the world's earthquakes happen in an area called the Ring of Fire.

全球大多數地震都發生在一個稱為「火環帶」的區域。

In fact, 80% of earthquakes happen in this area along the Pacific Ocean.

事實上，全球約 80% 的地震都發生在太平洋沿岸的這個地帶。

The Ring of Fire includes countries in Asia like Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

火環帶涵蓋亞洲的日本、印尼與菲律賓等國家。

Some of these countries have earthquakes as often as a few times per month.

其中一些國家幾乎每個月都會發生數次地震。

The damage that earthquakes can do includes everything from tearing up roads

地震造成的破壞，從道路龜裂開始，

to fires, landslides, avalanches, and tsunamis.

到火災、土石流、雪崩，甚至海嘯。

To be an earthquake survivor, it's best to start before an earthquake even happens.

想要在地震中存活，最好在地震發生前就開始準備。

First, secure large items like TVs so that they're unlikely to fall.

第一，固定大型物品，例如電視，避免它們倒下。

And store your heavy and breakable belongings on low shelves.

並將沉重或易碎的物品放在較低的層架上。

Second, practice drop, cover and hold on with your family.

第二，與家人一起練習「趴下、掩護、穩住」。

Drop to your hands and knees, cover your head with your arms, and

趴到雙手雙膝著地，用手臂保護頭部，

hold on to heavy furniture until the earthquake stops.

並抓牢厚重的家具，直到地震停止。

第三，制定家庭緊急應變計畫。

For where you'll meet if you're separated.

Fourth, get yourself a supply box and fill it with water, food and medication.

第四，準備一個防災包，放入飲水、食物與藥品。

Don't forget your phone charger and a whistle.

Fifth, consider buying earthquake insurance for your home if you aren't already covered.

第五，如果尚未投保，考慮為房屋購買地震保險。

During an earthquake, do what you practiced.

地震發生時，照你練習過的方式行動。

If you're indoors, do not stand in a doorway.

如果你在室內，不要站在門口。

Once thought to be the safest place in an earthquake, a doorway is no stronger than any other part of a building.

門口曾被認為是最安全的地方，但其實並不比建築物其他地方更堅固。

There will be aftershocks, which are much smaller tremors.

之後還會有餘震，也就是較小的震動。

If you're in a damaged building, get outside and move away from it.

若你在受損的建築物內，請立刻離開並遠離它。

If you've been trapped in a falling building, try to stay calm.

如果你被倒塌的建築物困住，盡量保持冷靜。

Cover your mouth to keep debris from getting into your airway.

摀住口鼻，避免碎屑進入呼吸道。

Send a text if you can, bang on a pipe or use a whistle to get a rescuer's attention.

若能傳訊息就傳，或敲打管線、使用哨子引起救援人員注意。

go inland and up to higher ground right after the major shaking has ceased.

在主要搖晃停止後，立刻往內陸並前往高處。

After an earthquake is when the tsunamis happen.

因為海嘯通常發生在地震之後。

If your radio, TV or smartphone are still working, check for emergency information and instructions.

若收音機、電視或智慧型手機仍可使用，請查看緊急資訊與指示。

If you want to help, then keep yourself safe while doing so.

如果你想幫忙救援，務必先確保自身安全。

Do not try to lift heavy debris by yourself and wear protective clothing when volunteering in a rescue or cleanup.

不要單獨搬動沉重瓦礫，並在參與救援或清理時穿戴防護裝備。

Earthquakes are dangerous, but if you follow this advice,

地震非常危險，但只要遵循這些建議，

you have an excellent chance of walking away unscathed.

你就有極高的機率能夠毫髮無傷地脫身。
