China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism has called for enhanced safety precautions during the May Day holiday, which is expected to see a tourism boom.
针对五一假期期间将出现的出游高峰，文化和旅游部提醒要加强安全防范措施。

【单词讲解】

Precaution这个词是caution加了前缀pre构成的，caution本身就表示“谨慎、当心；提醒、警告”等意思，比如，我们在公共场所见到的黄色警示牌“Caution! Wet floor!（小心地滑）”等，这里加了pre这个前缀，就是表示practice caution in advance（提前进入谨慎、小心的状态），也就是“预防、提防”的意思，“采取预防措施”一般会用take precaution或者take the precaution of (doing) something表示，比如：I took the precaution of locking money in the safe. （我把钱都锁紧保险柜了，以防万一。）

文化和旅游部的安全提示主要包括以下几部分：

Travelers who plan long-distance driving should check car conditions, licenses and insurance to ensure safe driving.
长途自驾出行前，仔细检查车况，并检查相关证件、保险是否齐全有效，确保行驶安全。

Drowsy driving should be avoided, and driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is strictly prohibited.
途中避免疲劳驾驶，杜绝酒驾、醉驾、毒驾等违法违规行为。
