臺灣位在地震帶上，一年會發生好幾百次地震，只是大部分都很小，人感覺不到。我剛來臺灣讀書的時候，第一次遇到地震，嚇得馬上衝到門外。
Tái wān wèi zài dì zhèn dài shàng yì nián huì fā shēng hǎo jǐ bǎi cì dì zhèn zhǐ shì dà bù fèn dōu hěn xiǎo rén gǎn jué bú dào wǒ gāng lái Tái wān dú shū de shí hòu dì yī cì yù dào dì zhèn xià de mǎ shàng chōng dào mén wài
Taiwan sits on an earthquake belt and has several hundred quakes a year, though most are too small to feel. When I first came to Taiwan to study and experienced my first quake, I was so scared I rushed straight out the door.
後來臺灣同學告訴我，這樣做其實很危險。地震來的時候，應該先躲在桌子下面，保護好頭部，等搖晃停了再出去。學校每年都會舉行地震演習，教大家正確的做法。
hòu lái Tái wān tóng xué gào sù wǒ zhè yàng zuò qí shí hěn wéi xiǎn dì zhèn lái de shí hòu yīng gāi xiān duǒ zài zhuō zi xià miàn bǎo hù hǎo tóu bù děng yáo huàng tíng le zài chū qù xué xiào měi nián dōu huì jǔ xíng dì zhèn yǎn xí jiāo dà jiā zhèng què de zuò fǎ
Later my Taiwanese classmates told me that doing that is actually dangerous. When a quake strikes you should first get under a table and protect your head, and only go out once the shaking stops. The school holds an earthquake drill every year to teach everyone the right thing to do.
現在我已經習慣了，手機一響警報，我就知道該怎麼做。
xiàn zài wǒ yǐ jīng xí guàn le shǒu jī yì xiǎng jǐng bào wǒ jiù zhī dào gāi zěn me zuò
Now I'm used to it: as soon as my phone sounds the alert, I know what to do.
