应急常识：火车失事我们该怎么做？

 　　Step 1: Listen to all announcements

　　on the PA and follow all directions given by the train driver, even if they contradict the instructions in this article - they know best。

　　听从列车司机指挥，即使指挥与本文相悖——他们更了解当时情况。

　　Step 2: Alert the driver and/or train control by using any emergency alarms or intercoms that you can see。

　　使用紧急报警设施或对讲机，设法通知列车人员。

　　Step 3: Move to the next car back (or away from danger) if possible. If you are at the end of a bilevel train, exit through the end of the train from the top level。

　　远离事发车厢。

　　Step 4: If it is not possible to move farther away from danger, exit downwards¹ and operate emergency exits on this level。

　　如果无法离开事发地，使用紧急出口。

　　Step 5: Look for an emergency exit or emergency door release switch。

　　寻找紧急出口或紧急开门按钮。

　　Step 6: If you cannot open the doors, look for an emergency exit window. Train windows are typically made with impact resistant² glass: Don't count on being able to break the window without a fire axe³ or sledge⁴ hammer。

　　如果无法打开紧急车门，则寻找太平门窗户。

　　Step 7: Escape the train immediately and stay well clear. Be aware that if the train you are on is also carrying dangerous or combustible⁵ materials, you will need to avoid these as you make your escape。

　　迅速离开火车。如果火车装有危险物或易燃物，谨记逃离时避开这些物品。

　　Step 8: Stay well clear of train tracks and do not walk on them to find the nearest station, as trains can approach without warning。

　　远离轨道，不要在铁轨上行走寻找最近火车站——火车会毫无预兆的驶过。

　　Step 9: Once you are out of danger, call the emergency services。

　　一旦逃离危险立刻报警。

　　Step 10: Should you have to evacuate⁶ the train in a tunnel, be sure to take extra care to avoid injury。

　　如果事故发生在隧道里，要格外小心以免受伤。
