美国加利福尼亚州颇负盛名的海滨城市马里布最近做出了一个新举动，该市印发了一本海啸安全手册，用大写字母警告当地居民不要试图在海啸来临时出海观赏或冲浪。

    据路透社10月30日报道，这本小册子告诉人们，海啸通常会在大地震后出现，它提醒人们不要在海啸来临时跑去观赏或冲浪。

    负责印刷小册子的布拉德·戴维斯表示，市政府印刷这本小册子是为了提醒市民注意人身安全。

    他说：“我们希望通过此举来告诫大家在海啸来临时尽量远离大海，不要上前凑热闹。”

    An exclusive California beach enclave has raised eyebrows by passing out tsunami safety brochures that warn residents, in capital letters, that they should never try to surf one.

    The pamphlets, part of an emergency preparedness campaign, inform residents of Malibu that tsunamis often follow large earthquakes and advise: "NEVER GO TO THE BEACH TO WATCH FOR, ORSURF, A TSUNAMI WAVE!"

    "I'm speechless," Malibu surfer Candace Brown told the Los Angeles Times. "I think the last thing people will think about when they feel an earthquake is surfing."

    Malibu's emergency preparedness director said he thought it would be prudent to address all possibilities.

    "Some people may feel that we are stating the obvious and some people may not," Brad Davis said. "We want to encourage people to move away from the coast rather than towards it."
