Map out the day, literally. If you're headed for parts unknown, consult your map and write down directions. Take the map with you in case you need it again.
在地图上准确地绘制出路线 。如果你向不认识的地方走,查看地图,写下方向 。随身携带地图,以防再次需要 。
STEP 2 Dress for your adventure
2.得体着装
Dress simply and wear comfortable walking shoes. Leave the jewelry at home. Pack a fully charged cell phone and slip extra money into a front pocket. Never put valuables in your back pocket.
简单着装,穿舒适的步行鞋 。把珠宝留在家里 。手机充满电,前面的口袋里多装一点钱备用 。背包里不要放贵重物品 。
Women should hold their purses close to their bodies or use cross-shoulder bags instead. It's convenient and a great organizer; and also easy to slip off quickly in a tight situation.

STEP 3 Get an attitude

Prepare yourself mentally before you open your door to leave. Adopt an attitude that projects confidence.
出门前精神方面做好准备 。采取自信的态度 。
STEP 4 Act the attitude

行为也要有正确的态度 。让你的态度表现在行为上 。脚步轻快,有目标 。脚步中多一点趾高气扬 。不要随时随地拿出地图,除非走到商场别人看不到的地方 。

待在光线比较好的街道上 。时刻注意周围的环境和人 。如果你的本能告诉你有危险,一定要引起注意,立即走开 。
Watch out for sudden activity or commotion by one or more persons – it may be the start of a con to distract you so someone can pick your pocket or snatch your purse.
要注意一人或多人突然的行动或暴乱——这或许是为了转移你的注意力的骗局,从而方便别人偷你的钱包 。

STEP 7 Cross the street if someone's following you
