每日口說挑戰在下墜的電梯中如何存活？千萬別跳起來！ (How to survive in a free falling elevator - Lonely Planet)

Thanks Doris!
舉手發問⋯ 0:32 It was suddenly {?get} stuck in between the second floor and the third floor, then slowly {?descends} to the first floor. ==>這句前半如果有是用過去式+被動時態,是否該用got? 後半句是否應該是過去式descended?

How to survive([sɚˋvaɪv]v.在..之後仍存活) in a free-falling elevator([ˋɛlə͵vetɚ]n.電梯)? The elevator in my apartment sometimes malfunctions([mælˋfʌŋkʃən]v.發生故障). It was suddenly {?get} stuck in(卡住) between the second floor and the third floor, then slowly {?descends([dɪˋsɛnd]v.下降)} to the first floor. The first time when I had this experience, I was so scared and didn’t know what to do. Finally when I escaped from the elevator, I started to search on the internet and wanted to know what I should do. Are you curious about the answer? It’s in the video, go watch it after your recording today. Now let’s move on to the sentence for today: If there are handrails, spread your weight(n.體重) across them to help slow the rate of impact. If the elevator is small or crowded, brace([bres]v.支撐) yourself by standing with slightly bent(a.彎曲的) knees.

1. handrail [ˋhænd͵rel] (n.) a long, narrow bar of wood or metal that people can hold on to for support, especially when going up or down stairs 欄杆；扶手
-Please hold the handrails and stand firmly([ˋfɝmlɪ]adv.穩固地) onto the escalator([ˋɛskə͵letɚ]n.電扶梯).
-Mothers should remind their children to hold the handrails tightly when standing on the escalator.

2. spread [sprɛd] (v.) to (cause to) cover, reach, or have an effect on a wider or increasing area 使伸展，使延伸
動詞變化spread/spread/spread

(英文版) I always stand up and stretch my body when I study too long, I think this really makes me more energetic.

同時做太多事情（以致沒有足夠時間或精神關注任何一個）
-I realized I had been spreading myself too thin, so I quit my job in the beverage shop.
+ I realized I'd been spreading myself too thin so I resigned([rɪˋzaɪn]v.辭去) as secretary([ˋsɛkrə͵tɛrɪ]n.秘書) of the golf club.

3-1. impact [ɪmˋpækt] (n.) the force or action of one object hitting another 衝擊（力）；撞擊（力）
+impact on sth
A well-designed sports shoe should absorb(v.吸收) the impact on the 28 bones in each foot.

Although I don’t want anything bad to happen to you guys, I hope you can keep what you have learned from video in mind(謹記在心), in case(以防萬一) any accident happens during your elevator ride.

# 跤頭趺要好好保養！

【weak at the knees】（通常指因看到或談到非常喜歡的人或讓人害怕的事而）膝蓋發軟的，腿發軟的
- If you go weak at the knees, you lose your strength and feel you are going to fall over, usually because of seeing or talking about either someone you are very attracted to or because of something unpleasant or frightening.
■ Just thinking about Samantha makes me feel weak at the knees.

If there are handrails, spread your weight across them to help slow the rate of impact. If the elevator is small or crowded, brace yourself by standing with slightly bent knees.

如果電梯裡有扶手，把整個身體靠在扶手上，以減緩衝擊。如果電梯內的空間很小或者很擠，稍微彎曲你的膝蓋以防受傷。
【心得】印象中好像哪裡有說過可以試著按下所有樓層的按鈕，這樣也許電梯可以在下降期間忽然停下來。不過反應時間很短，像我這種反應慢的人可能遇到時會嚇到愣住，來不及回神吧!?> <

電梯突然下墜，機率不高吧？！（希望）

Thank Doris and every friend who listens to my recordings.
