Homework
1. Read the two listening materials and finish the translation tasks.
2. Write a passage about rescue operation.
假如你叫李华,刚刚听了市蓝天救援队负责人王军做的题为 My rescue experience 的报告,请你给学校的英文报写一篇80个词左右的文章,要点如下:
1. 他的救援事迹 2. 地震发生时如何自救的建议
1. 我叫王军,负责中国国际救援队。我将给你们提一些 在地震发生时如何自我保护的建议。(in charge of 负责)
2. 近15年来, 我们多次参加救援行动,最近的一次是参加尼泊尔地震救援。
I am Wang Jun, who is in charge of China International Search and Rescue Team. I will give you some advice on how to protect ourselves during an earthquake.
In the past/last 15 years, we have taken part in rescue operations many times, one of which was the Nepal earthquake rescue.
3. 我们的目的是救人,所以我们利用搜寻救援车辆和搜救犬寻找被困在建筑物下面的人。
4. 这项工作既难又具挑战性。比如在尼泊尔大地震时,我们花了12天时间仅仅救了2个人。你简直无法想象一下我们的压力有多大。
Our goal is to save lives and therefore we use search and rescue vehicles and trained dogs to look for people (who are) trapped under buildings.
The work is tough and challenging. For example, during the Nepal earthquake, it took us 12 days to save only 2 people. You can hardly imagine how much pressure we are under.
5. 如果被困室内,不要大声喊叫除非有人在附近。
6. 我的建议是敲击墙壁以便别人找到你,因为大声喊叫会使你吸入有害的灰尘。
If (you are) trapped indoors, don’t shout loud unless someone is nearby.
My advice is to knock on the wall so that people can find you, because shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous dust.
