　　Fire Accidents in Cities

　　Recent years have witnessed a marked growth of fire accidents in cities. We often see flashing fire engines rushing through the streets. Fires have not only caused heavy econornic losses but also injured and killed many people.

　　近年來(lái)，城市火災(zāi)顯著增多。我們常常可以看到警燈閃爍的消防車(chē)從街頭呼嘯而過(guò)。火災(zāi)不僅造成重大的經(jīng)濟(jì)損失，而且也造成很多的人員傷亡。

　　What are the causes of fire accidents? Most of the fires are caused by carelessness and violation of fire safety regulations. Other fires are caused by home electrical appliances, because they are of poor quality or because people do not know how to use them properly. Besides, some businesses have focused so much of their atlention on profits that they often ignore fire precautions.

　　火災(zāi)事故的原因是什么呢?大部分火災(zāi)是由于疏忽和違反消防安全規(guī)定而引起的。其他火災(zāi)是由家用電器引起的，由于家電的質(zhì)量較差，或因?yàn)槿藗儾恢廊绾握_地使用它們而引發(fā)火災(zāi)。此外，一些企業(yè)過(guò)分注重利潤(rùn)，他們往往忽略防火措施。

　　To prevent fires and reduce iamages from fire accidents, we should educate people to raise their sense of fire prevention, warn children of the dangers of playing with matches, and instruct workers to be more careful with insulation. In addition, we should improve existing fire engines and add more fire facilities to high buildings. Thus, the fire prevention system will become more reliable. (164 words)

　　為了預(yù)防火災(zāi)和減少火災(zāi)事故的破壞，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)教育人們提高防火意識(shí)，警告兒童玩火柴的危險(xiǎn)，并指示工人要更加小心地使用絕緣材料。此外，我們應(yīng)改善現(xiàn)有的消防車(chē)，并給高層建筑添加更多的消防設(shè)施。因此，防火系統(tǒng)將變得更加可靠。

　　句型解析：

　　Recent years have witnessed a marked growth of fire accidents in cities. 近年來(lái)，城市火災(zāi)顯著增多。

　　點(diǎn)評(píng)：這句話中活用了witness這個(gè)詞，witness一般是人作主語(yǔ)，在本句中是物作主語(yǔ)，表示“目睹或經(jīng)歷事件”，把沒(méi)有生命力的東西賦予生命。
