Everyday many people are involved in road accidents. Many more are injured or maimed. So we need to learn to use the roads properly and safely. No sane person would like to be involved in an accident.

As the roads are very busy nowadays, we should be very careful when crossing one. It is safer to use a pedestrian crossing or an overhead bridge whenever one is available. Never cross a road by dashing across it. That is inviting trouble. If there are no crossings, then we must look carefully right and left and cross only when it is safe to do so.
由於現而今道路交通非常繁忙，我們過馬路時應該非常小心。有可能的話使用人行橫道或高架橋會更安全。永遠不要衝過馬路，這會招來麻煩。在沒有交叉路口的地方，我們必須仔細觀察左顧右盼，只有在安全的情況下才通過。
pedestrian n. 行人； 步行者； adj. 行人使用的； 行人的； 缺乏想像的； 乏味的； 無趣的；
Some of us take the bus to school. We mustn't try to get on or off a bus while it is still moving. I tried to get on a moving bus once. It dragged me a short distance and nearly ran over me. I was lucky to escape with only some scratches on my legs. Also, we must not fool around while on the bus. A suddenly lurch can send us knocking our heads against something hard.
我們中的一些人會乘公交車去上學。但別嘗試在公交汽車還在行駛時就上下車。我試圖這樣上過一次公交車。它拖了我一小段距離，差點帶倒我。不過我幸運地避開了，只是腿上留下一些傷痕。此外，我們也不能在公共汽車上隨意走動。突然的前衝會使我們的頭撞上硬物。
fool around 吊兒郎當； 瞎胡混； （尤指一方已婚者） 鬼混，亂搞； （常為逗樂） 扮傻，胡鬧；lurch v. 突然前傾(或向一側傾斜); (突然感到恐怖或激動時心或胃)猛地一跳(或動) ； n. 突然前傾(或向一側傾斜);
Using a bicycle can be dangerous too. We must pay attention to the road and never cycle too far out to the middle of the road. We must obey all the traffic rules. Also, we must make sure our bicycles are in good condition with working brakes, lights, etc.
騎車也很危險。我們必須注意看路，不要騎到路中間。我們必須遵守所有的交規。此外，我們必須確保車況良好，包括剎車和燈等等。
These are some things we can do to avoid accidents. However, there is no guarantee that we will never be involved in one. The important thing is to stay alert at all times while using the roads.
為避免事故，這些是我們可以做的一些事情。然而，我們不能保證永遠不會被捲入其中。重要的是在上路時總能保持警惕。
We must know what is happening around us. In that way, we can take the necessary action to avoid danger whenever we see one. Road safety is very much up to how we use the roads. Use them carefully and we may be able to use them for a long time. Use them carelessly and we may never be able to use them again.
我們必須知道我們周圍正在發生的狀況。這樣，每當我們看到出狀況時。我們就可以採取必要措施來避免危險。道路安全在很大程度上取決於我們如何上路行駛。小心行駛得萬年船。不謹慎的話可能就沒下一次了額。
