How To Ride Out the Earthquake
怎么样安全渡过地震
Limit your movements during an earthquake to a few steps to a nearby safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking has sTOPped and you are sure it is safe to leave.
当地震还在持续时，将你的活动范围限制在周围某个安全地址几步以内；在晃动停止、确认安全后再离开室内。
If you are indoors:
Drop, Cover, and Hold Take cover under a sturdy desk, table, or bench, or against an inside wall, and hold on. If there is no desk or table near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch1 in an inside corner of the building.
Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting2 fixtures4 and furniture.
If you are in bed when the earthquake strikes, stay there. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fixture3 that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.
Stay inside until the shaking sTOPs and it is safe to go outside. Most injuries during earthquakes occur when people are hit by falling objects while entering or leaving buildings.
Be aware that electricity may go out or that sprinkler systems or fire alarms may turn on.
Do not use elevators.
* 蹲下，探寻掩护，抓牢借助写字台、桌子或者长凳下的空间，或者身子紧贴内部承重墙作为掩护，然后双手抓结实定物体。假如附近没写字台或桌子，用双臂护住头部、脸部，蹲伏在房间的角落。
* 离得远远的玻璃制品、建筑物外墙、门窗、与其他可能坠落的物体，比如灯具和家具。
* 假如地震发生时你在床上，请待在那里不要动。抓紧枕头保护住你的头部。假如你上方大概坠落的重型灯具，请转移至近期的安全地带。
* 在晃动停止并确认户外安全后，方可离开房间。地震中的大部分伤亡，是在大家进出建筑物时被坠物击中导致的。
* 要意识到或许会断电，火警与自动喷淋装置或许会启动。
* 切勿用电梯逃生。
If you are outdoors:
Stay there.
Move away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and utility wires.
* 待在原地不要动。
* 离得远远的建筑区、大树、街灯和电线电缆。
If you are in a moving car:
STOP as quickly as safety permits, pull to the side of the road, and stay in the car.
Avoid sTOPping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses5, and utility wires.
Do not attempt to drive across bridges or overpasses that have been damaged.
Proceed cautiously after the earthquake has sTOPped, watching for road and bridge damage.
* 在确保安全的状况下，尽快靠边停车，留在车内。
* 不要把车停在建筑物下、大树旁、立交桥或者电线电缆下。
* 不要试图穿越已经损毁的桥梁。
* 地震停止后小心前进，注意道路和桥梁的损毁状况。
If you are trapped under debris6:
Do not light a match.
Do not move about or kick up dust.
Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
Tap on a pipe or wall so that rescuers can find you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout only as a last resort shouting can cause you to inhale7 dangerous amounts of dust.
* 不要素火柴。
* 不要向周围移动，防止扬起灰尘。
* 用手帕或布遮住口部。
* 敲击管道或墙壁以便让救援职员发现你。可能的话，请用哨子。在其他方法不奏效的状况下再选择呼喊由于喊叫可能使人吸入很多有害灰尘。
