愿自然灾害中平安 Wishing Safety in Natural Disasters

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of 5-Minute Chinese. This Tuesday marked the return of our teachers to school, but after just one day, we transitioned to remote work for the next two days due to Tropical Storm Debby. Thankfully, we're back in action now. I also want to address the recent earthquake in Kyushu, Japan. My Japanese teacher lives in Miyazaki, and I'm relieved to hear that she is safe. My thoughts are with all of those directly affected. With natural disasters increasing and extreme weather events becoming more common worldwide, I extend my heartfelt wishes for your safety. Take care, and see you in the next episode.

大家好，欢迎收听新一期的五分钟中文。我们这个星期二老师就返校了， 可是星期二上了一天班以后，周三、周四就都居家办公了。原因是我们这两天有一个叫Debby的热带风暴。虽然开学了还有很多工作要做，但是学校领导层出于安全考虑，决定关闭了学校。不过还好现在有zoom meeting，所以可以线上开会。有很多工作可以在家做。还是挺方便的。风暴过了以后，我们周五学校就重新开放了。说到自然灾害，我也知道前天日本九州岛遭遇了大地震。 而且，我的日本老师正好住在宫崎县。我听到这个新闻之后就赶快给她发消息问她有没有事。当她几个小时后回复我说她没事的时候，我真的是长舒了一口气。她说她当时正在冲浪，然后现在在安全撤离中。新闻说未来几天有更大地震的可能性。如果您是我在日本的听众朋友，我真心地祝福你平安。希望你安好。近年来世界各地自然灾害都在增加，极端天气也更多了。大家一定都要注意安全。那今天就跟大家聊到这里。我们下期再见！
