Unfortunately, we have to take extreme precaution in today’s society. This means doing our absolute best to ensure safe travel. As if traveling to your location isn’t stressful enough, now we have to worry about remaining safe once we arrive to our hotel.

很不幸，如今在社会中我们需要采取十分谨慎的预防措施。这就意味着要想一路顺风，就必须尽自己最大的努力。就好像去往目的地的旅途还不够紧张一样，现在到了酒店我们还需要担心其它的安全事项。

According to LISTVERSE, “some of the biggest crimes in history have happened in hotels, and hotel crime is rising.” Theft, drug mules¹, terrorists and human trafficking are just some of the many crimes related to hotels.

据LISTVERSE网站所述，“历史上一些最大的犯罪案件就是在酒店发生的，而且酒店犯罪的案例也在不断增加。”在众多与酒店挂钩的犯罪事件中，偷窃、贩毒、恐怖分子和人口贩卖只是一小部分。

Be very careful who you trust; an individual with hotel security might turn out to be a threat to your safety, rather than someone who is supposed to ensure your protection. Although hotel safety is not assured, there are many things that you can do to prevent possible crime and misconduct.

对你信任的人也要十分小心；有着酒店安保标志的人员也可能会威胁到你的安全，而他本该保护你的人身安全。尽管酒店的安全没有保证，但有很多事情可以预防可能的犯罪和不当行为。

1. Check-In- Avoid staying in a room on the bottom floor, it’s too easy to break into. According to Independent Traveler, “many safety experts recommend staying somewhere between the third and sixth floors -- where rooms are high enough to be difficult to break into, but not so high that they're out of the reach of most fire engine ladders.”

1. 入住。不要住在底楼的房间，因为太容易被闯入了。据独立旅行者网站所述，“很多安全专家都建议住在3楼到6楼——这些楼层的房间足够高，不容易闯入，但也没有高到没有消防梯的程度。”

2. Leave the TV or Radio On- Leave the TV or radio on when you leave your hotel room. This will give off the impression that you are inside which should send away any unwanted guests.

2. 电视机或收音机开着。当你不在宾馆时，要开着电视机或收音机。这就让人们觉得房间有人，不速之客就会走开。

3. Lock Your Door- Lock all deadbolts, security chains and metal security locks. Regardless to how long you plan on leaving your room, never leave your door a pinch open.

3. 锁门。将门栓、安全褡裢和金属防盗锁通通锁上。不管你打算离开房间多久，永远都不要把门开着。

4. Use Your Hotel Safe- Protect your valuables and make use of your hotel room safe. Lock up your lap top, expensive jewelry² and other things you are not taking out with you.

4. 使用酒店的保险箱。保护自己的贵重物品，确保使用酒店的保险箱。将自己的手提电脑、贵重珠宝和其它不带出门的东西都锁在保险柜里。

5. Use Your Do Not Disturb Sign- Regardless to if you are in the room or out, always keep the do not disturb sign on your doorknob. This will give dangerous individuals the impression that you are in the room.

5. 在房门前挂上“请勿打扰”的牌子。不管你在不在房间里，都要记住在门把手上挂上“请勿打扰”的牌子。这会让可疑人员觉得你人还在房间里。

6. Don’t Set Your Credit Card on The Check-In Counter- You are making it way too easy for a thief to glance over and steal your information. Also, always make sure that after payment, upon receiving your credit card, it is your card and not a fake one given back to you.

6. 不要把自己的信用卡放在入住登记的柜台上。这样小偷就会轻易看到你的账户并盗走你的信息。同样还要记得在付款之后，确认一下回到手中的是自己的信用卡，而不是伪造的信用卡。
