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。非常感謝你們邀請我來這里談論宿舍安全和個人安全。
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,要記住幾點。你可以注意到你們宿舍的門有兩種鎖:耶爾鎖和丘伯保險鎖。
Make sure you double-lock your door, not just one lock, both of them, however long you're going out for.
要確保你們的門是雙鎖的,而不只是一把鎖,需要兩把,不論你出去多久。
Make sure when you go out, all the windows are closed.
出去的時候要確保所有的窗戶都關著。
Those of you in the ground and first floor rooms will notice that you have locking windows.
地面上和一樓的人會注意到你的窗戶是鎖著的。
Make sure you use them. Lock them every time you go out. Lock them at night.
確保一定要鎖上兩把鎖。每次你出去都把它們鎖起來。晚上鎖起來。
If you've got expensive equipment in your room, first of all, insure it.
如果你的房間里有昂貴的設備,首先,給它投保。
So many people lose things and haven't got insurance. Make sure you insure it.
很多人丟失了東西,而且沒有保險。確保你給它投保。
This brings me onto personal security. Wherever possible, avoid walking alone late at night, especially girl students.
這讓我想到了個人安全。在任何可能的情況下,避免在深夜獨自行走,尤其是女生。
Avoid dark streets, and try to stick to the well-lit streets whenever possible.
盡量避開黑暗的街道,盡可能堅持走明亮的街道。
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時候出門,確保你有足夠的錢叫輛出租車回家,
or arrange to stay with friends for the night.
或者安排和朋友一起過夜。
It may sound absurd, but don't forget, the university actually offers free self-defence classes.
這聽起來可能有些荒唐,但別忘了,這所大學實際上提供免費的自衛課程。
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.
我希望這是你永遠不會用到的東西,但是,嗯,確實應該參加一些自衛課程。
