Jay : The weather report has been talking about the
typhoon a lot the past couple of days. It seems
like everyone is being very cautious.
Catherine: Yeah, that's because typhoons in the past have
often done very unexpected things. Everyone
learns from those experiences and don't dare
underestimate typhoons.
Jay: Really...what kind of effect have typhoons had on
you in the past?
Catherine: Many different kinds. For instance, during the
summer two years ago, a light typhoon suddenly
became a mid-level typhoon as it reached
Taiwan. Many important places in Taipei City
were seriously flooded. That time many people
lost their lives in the sudden surge of water. The
loss to businesses and the economy is hard to
estimate.
Jay: Wow! That sounds dreadful.
Catherine: Yup, so when typhoons come, you really have to
be careful and make the proper preparations.
Jay: How should I prepare?
Catherine: First, you should supply your house with 2 or 3
days worth of food. When the typhoon hits, it's best not to leave your house. You should also buy

some batteries, and candles in case the power

Jay: What's that supposed to mean? I don't get it.
Jay: What if there is a ? ood?
Catherine: Man...sometimes I don't know if you are naive
Catherine: You live on the eleventh floor, don't you? If it
or just stupid. Well, their name "Xi Shi" is

Jay: Yeah...well, next time I pass by one, I'll go buy a

杰： 這幾天氣象報告一直報導(dǎo)臺風(fēng)動態(tài)，我覺得大家好像都很
謹(jǐn)慎。
凱瑟琳： 是啊，那是因為曾經(jīng)有好幾次臺風(fēng)來襲，造成了令人難以
預(yù)料的情況。所以現(xiàn)在大家都得到教訓(xùn)，對于臺風(fēng)都不敢
掉以輕心了。
杰： 是這樣?。颗_風(fēng)曾經(jīng)對你們造成什么可怕的影響嗎？
凱瑟琳： 很多啊。比如說前年夏天，有一個輕度臺風(fēng)到臺灣來時
突然轉(zhuǎn)變成中度臺風(fēng)，臺北市許多重要的地段都被水淹
沒了。那一次有許多人在突如其來的洪水中喪生了。商 家的損失更是難以估計。
杰： 哇！聽起來很不妙！
凱瑟琳： 嗯，所以臺風(fēng)來的時候真的要處處小心，要做好防臺風(fēng)準(zhǔn)備。
杰： 該做些什么準(zhǔn)備呢？
凱瑟琳： 你應(yīng)該先在家里儲備兩三天的糧食，臺風(fēng)來的時候盡量不
要外出。另外也要買一些電池、蠟燭，以備停電可用。
杰： 要是發(fā)大水怎么辦？
凱瑟琳： 你住在十一樓不是嗎？我想就算發(fā)大水，也頂多是被困在
家里幾天，不會有危險的。
杰： 幸好我當(dāng)初有先見之明住在高樓！不過，要是被困了好幾
天，可能也會無聊死的。
凱瑟琳： 你放心，你不會的，你可以在家里做你最喜歡做的事情，
看電影，睡一整天覺！
