教你23个保证假期安全的简单方法
23 simple ways to stay safe on holiday - from a former soldier
1. Start by selecting the right airline - you can check out a list of all airlines around the world and their safety records on the Aviation Safety Network. Selecting the right airline is a vital first step.
首先要选择正确的航空公司.你可以在航空安全网上查到世界上所有航空公司的名单及其安全记录.选择正确的航空公司是至关重要的第一步.
2. Where possible, pre-book your seat. Statistically, the rear of the aircraft is safer and aisle seats will allow you to get out of the aircraft quickly. Never sit in a seat more than five rows away from an emergency exit and always count and remember the number of seat rows between you and the nearest exit.
如果可以的话,提前预定好座位.据统计,飞机的后排座位更安全,靠近过道的座位则会帮助你快速逃离飞机.不要坐在距离紧急出口五排以外的位置,始终数清并记住你和最近的出口隔了几排座位.
3. Familiarise yourself with your nearest exit and visualise how you would get there in an emergency (bearing in mind that there will be general panic and other people clambering to reach it as well).
熟悉离你最近的出口,想想怎样才能在危急时刻到达那里
4. Do not remove your shoes before take-off. If you need to get off the aircraft quickly, or if there's a fire, you will be glad of your shoes. Remember also to have them on for landing. Most incidents happen at take-off or landing. Avoid travelling in high-heeled shoes.
起飞之前不要脱鞋.如果你想马上离开飞机或飞机着火了,你将会因为穿着鞋而感到庆幸.另外还要记得在降落前穿好鞋,因为绝大多数事故都发生于起飞或降落时.出行的时候不要穿高跟鞋.
5. In an emergency evacuation, you must leave all personal belongings behind. Carry-on bags will slow your exit and create a hazard for you and others. Don't wait for others to move; many will be paralysed by fear. Get yourself out regardless of what others are doing.
紧急疏散时,你必须抛弃所有个人物品.手提箱不仅会影响你的撤退速度,还会挡住你及其他乘客的逃跑通道.不要坐等别人先行动；很多人在恐惧之时会全身无力.别管别人在干嘛,你必须想办法逃出去.
6. Listen to the instructions of the cabin crew and follow their commands. Their purpose is to protect you.
仔细听乘务员的指示,并听从他们的指挥.他们的目的在于保护你.
7. Avoid travelling by road at night - you significantly increase your chances of an accident after dark. In developing countries, road lighting may be non-existent and often vehicles either don't have working lights or don't use them.
夜间不要乘车旅行,在黑暗之中,发生事故的可能性会大大提高.发展中国家可能没有路灯,那里的车要么没有车灯,要么不开车灯.
