A Deadly Current
死亡暗流
It is a pity that every summer a few people drown at the beach. In some cases, these people were good swimmers. So how did it happen? Riptide! ...
很遺憾，每年夏天總有一些人在海邊溺斃，而這些溺水的人中有些是很會游泳的。那麼這究竟是怎麼發生的呢？是激潮在作祟！
Riptide is a strong underwater current. It moves quickly away from shore and out to sea. It appears suddenly and pulls its victim under and far off shore. Therefore, people should make it a rule never to swim too far out from the beach. ...
激潮是海面下一種強大的暗流，從海岸迅速地流向大海。它出現的時候毫無預警，會將受害者拉下水面並拖離岸邊。因此，人們應該養成不要游得離海灘邊太遠的習慣。
If you find yourself in a riptide, don't panic. And by no means should you try to go against the tide and swim back to shore. You'll tire yourself out and probably drown. Instead, swim parallel to the beach. A riptide is very narrow. So just a few strokes in the right direction and you'll be out of danger. ...
假如你發現自己被捲入激潮時，別驚慌。而且千萬別試圖逆著潮水往岸上游，那會使你筋疲力竭而可能遭到滅頂。你游的方向應該和海灘保持平行。激潮的範圍很窄，所以只要朝正確方向游幾下，那麼你就能脫離險境了。
