為什么航班會晚點那么多？在航程中遇到厲害的氣流是什么體驗
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Is everything alright?
 
一切都正常吧？
 
B: Yes, everything's fine.
 
是的，還不錯。
 
A: What took so long? I thought your flight was about to arrive three hours ago.
 
怎么花了這么長時間？你的班機三小時之前就該到了。
 
B: Didn't they announce that our flight was delayed?
 
沒有廣播通知我們的班機晚點了嗎？
 
A: I didn't hear anything about a delay. I thought everything was running on time. What happened?
 
我沒有聽到任何關于晚點的廣播。我以為都會正常到達呢，出什么事兒啦？
 
B: We boarded the plane on time. But then we were held up for almost an hour due to a maintenance problem.
 
我們是準時登機的，但是后來由于設備維修，我們整整耽誤了將近一個鐘頭。
 
A: Then what? Your plane was three hours late!
 
那后來又出什么事兒了？你們可是晚點了三個鐘頭呢。
 
B: We finally took off. But about 30 minutes later, the capital came on the loudspeaker to warn us that there would be some bad turbulence for most of the flight.
 
后來我們好不容易起飛了，可是半個小時以后，機長廣播說，我們這次航程將會遇到很厲害的氣流。
 
A: The turbulence is pretty normal, isn't it?
 
遇到氣流很平常吧，對嗎？
 
B: Yes, but this was the worst turbulence I have ever experienced in my life. Everyone started getting sick. The flight attendants had to stay in their seats. The capital decided to land early.
 
是的?？墒俏覐膩頉]有遇到過這么強的氣流，所有人都開始暈機，空乘人員也不得不在他們位子上坐好，機長決定提前降落。
 
A: So where did you land?
 
那你們在哪兒著陸了？
 
B: We landed in Southampton and waited an hour for the storms to pass and then took off again.
 
我們降落在南安普頓，在地面上等了一個小時，等暴風雪的氣流過去之后才再次起飛。
 
A: That sounds like a nightmare.
 
聽上去簡直是場噩夢。
 
B: It wasn't too bad. At least I'm alive.
 
也不是太糟糕，至少我還活著。
 
A: Have you had anything to eat?
 
你吃過飯了沒？
 
B: I managed to get a sandwich from a flight attendant. How about you?
 
空姐給我送過一個三明治，你呢？
 
A: I had a few coffees while I was waiting. Let's get out of here.
 
等你的時候，我喝了一點兒咖啡。咱們離開這兒。
