442　I am not talking 我没在讲

One of the most difficult tasks as a flight attendant is to enforce rules while keeping customers happy. The electronic equipment that comes on board creates the greatest challenge. I walk the aisle asking passengers to turn off computers, electronic games and cell phones, which can create interference in communications between the pilot and the air traffic control tower. During one landing, a man persistently kept his cell phone at his ear. I confronted him and said, “Sir, you cannot talk on your phone until we reach the gate.” “I am not talking,” he replied. “I'm listening.”

作为一个空中小姐的最困难的任务之一，就是既要按规章办事，又不能得罪旅客。旅客带上飞机的电子设备是最大的挑战。我沿着过道走，要求旅客关掉电脑、电子游戏机和手机。这些设备会干扰驾驶员和控制塔之间的通讯。有一次飞机着陆的时候，一名男子坚持把手机贴在耳朵上。我不得不面对他：“先生，在飞机到达登机门之前你不可以讲电话。”他回答说：“我没有在讲，我只是在听。”
