地道美语听力播客653:学习消防安全知识（双语）

The apartment manager asked all of the tenants to come to a short meeting to learn about fire safety. I didn’t want to go, but the manager said that there would be free food, and who am I to turn down free pizza?

公寓管理人员要求所有房客来开一个简短的关于学习消防安全的会议。我不想去，但是管理员说那儿提供免费食物，有免费的披萨，我怎么能够拒绝呢?

...

Apartment manager: Thank you all for coming to this meeting about fire safety. With the rash of fires in this neighborhood recently, it seemed like a good idea to talk about fire safety with all of you.

公寓管理员：感谢大家能够参加这次关于消防安全的会议!鉴于最近附近发生的数起着火事件，与大家一起讨论一下消防安全问题是个不错的想法。

I want to make sure we comply with the fire code, so I’ve installed new smoke alarms or replaced the batteries in the older ones in each apartment and in the hallways. The fire escapes are in good condition and there are fire extinguishers in each hallway.

希望大家遵守消防规则，每一层公寓和走廊里，我已经安装了新的烟雾警报器，换掉旧的里面的电池。消防通道畅通无阻，每个走廊都有五个灭火器。

Your job is to keep the inside of your apartments safe. Keep flammable items away from the fireplace and don’t overload your electrical outlets. Any questions? If not, we’re ready for a fire drill.

你们的任务就是保证你们公寓里面的消防安全。易燃易爆品远离壁炉，别过度使用大功率电器。还有什么问题吗?如果没有，我们准备进行一次消防演习。

...

Nobody told me there would be fire drill. I’m guess I’m ready to stop, drop, and roll – as long as I can take the pizza with me.

没人告诉我有消防演习啊，我想只要我能带着披萨，我还是会停下、蹲下、匍匐前进的。
