891　For safety reasons 为了安全的缘故

A sign by the elevators in the building reads “In case of fire, use stairs.” It dawned on me that I didn't know where the stairs were. If I didn't, neither would visitors. “We should post directions to the staircase near the sign,” I suggested to the security chief. “We'd rather people not use the stairs,” he said. “For safety reasons.”

大楼的电梯旁边贴了一张条：“火警时请用楼梯。”这使我想起我不知道楼梯在哪里。如果我不知道，那么来访者也不会知道。我对保安队长说：“我们应该在这张条的旁边贴一个箭头，指示楼梯的方向。”他说：“为了安全的缘故，我们不希望大家用楼梯。”
