T: Tom  R: Rachel

Tom and Rachel are following the typhoon on the news and discussing what to do once it passes.

T: Wow, Rachel, the wind’s really roaring out there.

R: No kidding! I’m glad we decided to stay home. 

T: Did you see the latest news on the typhoon?

R: I did. It’s moving slower than expected, so we might be in for a tough night. 

T: Well, at least we’re safe here. I just hope everyone else is OK.

R: Same here. The news said a lot of debris is getting blown into rivers and parks. 

T: It’s sad to think about the mess this typhoon will leave behind.

汤 姆: 妳看到台风的最新消息了吗?

瑞 秋: 有啊。它的移动速度比预期的还慢,所以我们可能会度过一个艰难的夜晚。

汤 姆: 好吧,至少我们在这里很安全。我只希望大家都安好。

瑞 秋: 我也是。新闻说大量残骸被吹入河流和公园。

汤 姆: 想到这次台风将留下的残局,真是令人伤心。
