683　Exciting Trip 激动的旅行

About 90 fifth-graders piled into the airliner. Once we were in the air, the crew pleaded with the children to settle down so the beverages could be served and the other passengers could get some sleep. No amount of reasoning seemed to help, until I thought of the solution that actually worked: I picked up the PA mike in the cockpit and announced, “Children, this is the captain speaking. Don't make me stop this airplane and come back there.”

大约90个五年级小学生上了飞机。我们升空以后，机组人员恳求孩子们坐下来，以便为乘客提供饮料，也可以让其他乘客睡觉。看来没有什么理由可以说服他们。后来我想出一个主意，结果还真管用。我拿起驾驶舱里的话筒说：“孩子们，我是机长。你们再不听话，我就让飞机停下来，开回去。”
