經典對話
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.
怎麼花了這麼長時間？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?
我沒有聽到任何關於晚點的廣播。我以爲都會正常到達呢，出什麼事兒啦？
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，但是後來由於設備維修，我們整整耽誤了將近一個鐘頭。
A: Then what? Your plane was three hours late!
那後來又出什麼事兒了？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.
後來我們好不容易起飛了，可是半個小時以後，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。可是我從來沒有遇到過這麼強的氣流，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?
那你們在哪兒着陸了？
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後纔再次起飛。

也不是太糟糕，至少我還活着。
A: Have you had anything to eat?
你吃過飯了沒？

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。
