Oh no! What's happening?

哦不，發生什麼事了？

Is there a monster?

有怪物嗎？

Tia! Tia! Help!

蒂亞蒂亞救命

Tofu! Take cover!

豆腐找掩護

Lie down under the bed!

躺在床下

It's an earthquake!

是地震

What was that?

那是什麼？

I feel so terrified, Tia!

我覺得很害怕，蒂亞

Come on, let's get up!

來吧，我們起來

It was an earthquake!

那是一場地震！

Oh Tofu!

哦，豆腐！

Don't cry! Come here!

別哭過來

Tia! What is an earthquake?

蒂亞什麼是地震？

我以為世界末日到了！

Oh Tofu! Come!

哦，豆腐來吧

Sleep in my room for tonight.

今晚睡在我的房間裡

I'll tell you what an earthquake is and how we can protect ourselves when such calamity occurs.

我將告訴你什麼是地震，以及當這種災難發生時我們該如何保護自己。

Okay! So let's start by knowing how an earthquake occurs.

好的讓我們先來了解一下地震是如何發生的。

When the tectonic plates of the earth move, when the tectonic plates of the earth suddenly collide into each other that's what causes an earthquake.

當地球構造板塊移動時，當地球構造板塊突然相互碰撞時，就會引發地震。

What are tectac...

什麼是地殼構造？

ummm...

嗯...

The tectonic plates!

地殼板塊

So basically, tectonic plates are like puzzle pieces that together make up the surface of the earth.

是以，從根本上說，地殼板塊就像一塊塊拼圖，共同組成了地球表面。

These plates move constantly but you can't feel it.

這些板塊不斷移動，但你感覺不到。

The place of the origin of the earthquakes is called the hypocentre and the place where they occur on the earth's surface is called the epicentre.

地震的發源地稱為次中心，地震在地球表面發生的地方稱為震中。

Oh! I see!

哦，我明白了！

The shaking movement that we just felt was a tremor.

我們剛才感覺到的晃動是一種震顫。

Sometimes these tremors can be very strong and sometimes the tremors are barely noticeable.

有時震顫非常強烈，有時震顫幾乎不明顯。

The strength of the tremors is measured in the Richter scale the highest ever recorded being 9.6.

地震的強度用里氏震級來衡量，有記錄以來的最高震級為 9.6 級。

Oh my God! Really?

我的天啊真的嗎？

Yes! Earthquakes can severely damage everything around us and even our lives are at an alarming risk.

是的！地震會嚴重破壞我們周圍的一切，甚至危及我們的生命。

But Tia, how can we protect ourselves when everything around us is falling apart?

但是蒂亞，當我們周圍的一切都分崩離析時，我們該如何保護自己呢？

That's a good question Tofu.

這個問題問得好，豆腐。

We can always try the drop, cover and hold method.

我們總是可以嘗試投放、覆蓋和保持的方法。

If you are in bed, covering your head with a pillow can protect you during minor earthquakes.

如果您躺在床上，用枕頭蓋住頭部可以在輕微地震時保護您。

I just covered my head but that was because I was scared.

我只是捂住了頭，但那是因為我害怕。

Oh Tofu!

哦，豆腐！

And you can take shelter under sturdy surfaces like we just did under the bed.

你還可以躲在堅固的表面下，就像我們剛才躲在床底下一樣。

Just drop down wherever you are, crawl and find an overhead shelter and wait under the cover until the tremors stop.

無論你在哪裡，只需蹲下，匍匐前進，找到高處的遮蔽物，在遮蔽物下等待震顫停止。

That's a smart idea Tia!

這是個聰明的主意，蒂亞！

Drop, cover and hold!

放下、蓋上並保持！

But what if we are outside our homes?

但如果我們離家在外呢？

If you are outside your home, try staying away from buildings trees and electricity poles.

如果您在室外，儘量遠離建築物樹木和電線杆。

Try to find wide open spaces to protect yourself when buildings collapse.

當建築物倒塌時，儘量尋找寬闊的空地來保護自己。

But what if we are inside a building?

但如果我們是在一棟建築物內呢？

If you are inside a building, do not use the elevator to go down.

如果您在建築物內，請勿乘坐電梯下樓。

Always take the stairs.

一定要走樓梯。

Stay away from windows as shattered glass can seriously harm you.

遠離窗戶，因為玻璃碎片會對您造成嚴重傷害。

And what if we are in a vehicle?

如果我們在車裡呢？

If you are in a vehicle, try finding an open spot.

如果您在車內，請儘量找一個空曠的地方。

Turn down the vehicle, pull the parking brakes immediately and stay inside.

降低車速，立即拉下駐車制動器，並待在車內。

Avoid parking near utility poles, overhead wires and under overpasses.

避免在電線杆、架空電線附近和立交橋下停車。

And you can also turn on the radio for emergency broadcasts.

您還可以打開收音機，收聽緊急廣播。

Oh! Now I know everything.

現在我什麼都知道了

I can protect myself from an earthquake.

我可以在地震中保護自己。

Yes, you do, smart boy!

是的，你會的，聰明的孩子！
