Quora精選：坐飛機(jī)時(shí)，你遇到過(guò)哪些趣事？

Answered by Palkush Rai Chawla

Palkush Rai Chawla的回復(fù)：

Each time you board a plane and look for your seat, a small part of you is begging to be seated beside someone interesting.

每次登機(jī)尋找座位的時(shí)候，你心里都會(huì)有點(diǎn)期待，希望能坐在一個(gè)有趣的人旁邊。

After spending hours of flying besides snoring, noisy and boring old people, this time I finally found a skinny girl in her mid twenties seated beside me. For once I was seated with someone who smelled nice, had skinny elbows, and seemed likely to stay up during the flight.

上次我坐飛機(jī)的時(shí)候，旁邊坐的是個(gè)打呼嚕、很吵而且很無(wú)趣的老人家，這次旁邊終于坐了個(gè)20多歲、瘦瘦的女生。我一坐在散發(fā)著淡淡香味、身形瘦弱的美女旁邊，全程似乎都能很清醒。

As soon as the safety belt sign went off, she took out her brand new "laminated" laptop with Windows 8 and started fiddling with it. After hopelessly struggling with it for over ten minutes, she turned to me.

安全帶的指示燈剛熄滅，她就拿出了一臺(tái)貼著保護(hù)膜的Windows 8筆記本，開(kāi)始擺弄起來(lái)。她搗鼓了十多分鐘，還是一無(wú)所獲，于是向我求助。

"Excuse me, can you help me out with this?"

“不好意思，你能幫我弄下這個(gè)嗎？”

"Of course, What is it?", always interested to play around with the then newly released Windows 8.

“當(dāng)然可以啊，有什么問(wèn)題嗎？”那個(gè)時(shí)候Win 8系統(tǒng)剛發(fā)布，我很有興趣上手?jǐn)[弄一下。

"I am unable to catch wi-fi signals on this?"

“我的筆記本搜不到WIFI（無(wú)線網(wǎng)絡(luò)）？”

I look at her, with all my shock and horror clearly visible on my face.

我難掩震驚地看著她說(shuō)：

"We're 30,000 ft. up in the air, how on earth would you get wi-fi here??"

“我們?cè)谌f(wàn)英尺（約九千多米）的高空，你在這兒怎么可能搜得到WIFI呢？？”

(I know about ATG systems like OnAir, but they aren't available in India.)

（我知道OnAir之類的ATG系統(tǒng)，但印度沒(méi)有這些。）

But she thought she was wiser, and chose to say something, which almost made me smash my head on her laptop.

不過(guò)她覺(jué)得自己更聰明，又說(shuō)了句話，差點(diǎn)讓我一頭撞死在她的筆記本電腦上。

"But my laptop has 'airplane mode'. Wi-fi should work in airplanes, No?"

“但我的筆記本有‘飛行模式’啊，WIFI在飛機(jī)上應(yīng)該也能用，不是嗎？”

I had just hit the rock bottom of tech-lowness in my life, and in that flight, I chose to sleep, instead.

我跌到了人生中的技術(shù)谷底，在接下來(lái)的航行中，我決定還是睡覺(jué)算了。
