The Fire Alarm.
火警
Brian: Is this fire alarm system enough to protect the school premises from fire?
布萊恩：這所學(xué)校里的消防裝置夠不夠使學(xué)校免受火災(zāi)

艾瑪：可以的。學(xué)校的每個(gè)角落都裝有消防設(shè)備，一旦拉響警鈴消防水管會(huì)立刻自動(dòng)工作
Brian: Are there any safe exit points for students?
布萊恩：有對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行任何關(guān)于安全出口的教育嗎
Emma: Yes. They’ll be directed to move to the north parking lot.
艾瑪：有。他們會(huì)被直接帶到北邊的停車場(chǎng)
Brian: Alright. Are the students being trained to know what to do when the alarm goes off?Emma: Absolutely! Every semester we conduct fire drills so the students know what to do in case of a fire.
布萊恩：好的，有沒有對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行消防演習(xí)?艾瑪：當(dāng)然訓(xùn)練過。我們每一個(gè)學(xué)期都會(huì)引導(dǎo)消防裝置，在發(fā)生火災(zāi)時(shí)學(xué)生知道該怎么做
Brian: That’s good!
布萊恩：那就好

勞倫：他說最近幾年犯罪率明顯減少
Rosy: Really? Two crimes in one night two blocks away, and he says the crime rate is improving?
羅斯：真的嗎?有一天晚上在兩條街之外有兩起犯罪案件，他還說犯罪率減少?
