Safety Consciousness

By Luo Qianyi

Every time my friend Hai Feng goes to the ATM to draw some money, he takes extreme care to cover the screen.

I laughed at him and said,“You’re really quite cautious, eh?”

To my surprise, Hai Feng shook his head, “Nah, I’m afraid someone will see my balance and make fun of me.”

My friend Zhilin is very concerned with safety.Even when he goes out on his bicycle he’ll wear a helmet.

It was boiling outside the other day, and I saw Zhilin still persistently wearing his helmet.I couldn’t help but exclaiming,“Your sense of safety is really quite something else!”

Unexpectedly, he sighed, “I just don’t want my Benz-drivingclassmates to know it’s me riding this bike.”

安全意识

一

朋友海峰每次在ATM机上取款时，都会非常注意遮挡。

我笑着说：“你倒是挺有安全意识的。”

不料，海峰摇摇头说：“不，我是怕被人看到余额，让人笑话。”

二

朋友致麟是个非常有安全意识的人，连出门骑自行车都会戴头盔。

那天，天气很热，我看到致麟仍然坚持戴头盔骑自行车出门，不由得感叹：“你的安全意识真是太强了！”

不料，他叹气道：“我怕被开奔驰、宝马的同学认出来。”
