Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you very much for inviting me here to talk about safety in dormitory and personal security.
大家下午好。非常感谢你们邀请我来这里谈论宿舍安全和个人安全。
First, a few points to bear in mind. You'll notice the doors of your dorm have two types of locks: a Yale lock and a Chubb lock.
首先,要记住几点。你可以注意到你们宿舍的门有两种锁:耶尔锁和丘伯保险锁。
Make sure you double-lock your door, not just one lock, both of them, however long you're going out for.
要确保你们的门是双锁的,而不只是一把锁,需要两把,不论你出去多久。
Make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed.
出去的时候要确保所有的窗户都关着。
Those of you in the ground and first floor rooms will notice that you have locking windows.
地面上和一楼的人会注意到你的窗户是锁着的。
Make sure you use them. Lock them every time you go out. Lock them at night.
确保一定要锁上两把锁。每次你出去都把它们锁起来。晚上锁起来。
If you've got expensive equipment in your room, first of all, insure it.
如果你的房间里有昂贵的设备,首先,给它投保。
So many people lose things and haven't got insurance. Make sure you insure it.
很多人丢失了东西,而且没有保险。确保你给它投保。
This brings me onto personal security. Wherever possible, avoid walking alone late at night, especially girl students.
这让我想到了个人安全。在任何可能的情况下,避免在深夜独自行走,尤其是女生。
Avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible.
尽量避开黑暗的街道,尽可能坚持走明亮的街道。
Also, if you know you are going to be out late, make sure you've got enough money for a taxi to get home again,
而且,如果你知道你要晚些时候出门,确保你有足够的钱叫辆出租车回家,
or arrange to stay with friends for the night.
或者安排和朋友一起过夜。
It may sound absurd, but don't forget, the university actually offers free self-defence classes.
这听起来可能有些荒唐,但别忘了,这所大学实际上提供免费的自卫课程。
I hope it's something you'd never have to use, but, um, it's certainly worth going along to a few self-defence sessions.
我希望这是你永远不会用到的东西,但是,嗯,确实应该参加一些自卫课程。
