美国人民如何度过停电时光

Over 3.2 million customers in Texas are in the dark Tuesday as snow and freezing temperatures continue to pummel the state.

周二晚上，随着冰雪继续肆虐，美国德克萨斯州有超过320万名居民停电。

Power outages extend to other states including Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ohio.

停电还蔓延到了其他的州，包括肯塔基州，西弗吉尼亚，弗吉尼亚州，路易斯安那州，密西西比州和俄亥俄州。

Here are safety tips to keep in mind:

以下是停电时需要注意的安全知识。

Ahead of an outage, federal emergency officials advise installing carbon monoxide detectors and stocking up on batteries.

联邦应急办公室建议，在停电之前就准备好一氧化碳检测器，并多多准备电池。

During a power outage, it is important to be mindful of carbon monoxide poisoning.

在停电的时候，尤其要注意小心一氧化碳中毒。

The Texas Medical Center in Houston reported 100 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning on Monday.

仅周一一天，位于休斯敦的得克萨斯医疗中心就报告有一百多例一氧化碳中毒的案例。

Never use a gas stovetop or oven to heat your home, and only use generators, camp stoves or charcoal grills when you are outdoors and at least 20 feet away from windows, FEMA officials said.

联邦应急办公室称，最好不要在家使用瓦斯炉或者烤箱，只能用发电机，露营用炉子和木炭烤架，并且至少要跟窗户保持20英尺的距离。

Keep freezers and refrigerators closed during the power outage, instead using food that doesn't require refrigeration or coolers with ice.

停电期间最好保持冰箱和冰柜关闭，转而食用一些不需要冷冻的食物。

The fridge will keep food cold for about four hours while a freezer will maintain the temperature for about 48 hours, officials said.

官方称，冰箱可以维持四个小时的冷藏，冰柜可以维持48小时的温度。

FEMA officials recommend storing a thermometer in the fridge and freezer; once power is restored, throw out food if the temperature is 40 degrees or higher.

联邦应急办公室还建议，在冰箱或冰柜里放一个温度计；电力恢复后，如果温度计读数高于40华氏温度，需要将食物拿出来扔掉。

If the power is out for more than one day, throw out any medication that should be refrigerated, unless the label says otherwise, FEMA officials said.

如果停电时间超过了一天，除非有特别的保质期说明，其他食物都要扔掉，联邦应急办公室说道。

While trying to stay warm, officials in Bexar County, Texas, recommend closing the blinds to keep in some heat, closing off rooms to avoid wasting heat and stuffing towels or tags in cracks under doors.

说到保暖措施，得克萨斯州比克萨郡官员们建议，可以拉紧百叶窗，紧闭房门来防止热量散失，并且可以在门缝中塞入毛巾和碎布。
