890　The Shortest and the Widest Runway 最短最宽的跑道

An airliner is coming into land at an airport obscured by fog. Visibility is practically nil, so the pilot has to land on wits alone. “Flaps, check,” he says to the copilot, “Landing Gear, check. Altitude, check. Right, we're going in. Hold on.” The plane lands and comes to a screeching, grinding halt; just short of the edge of the runway. “Holy Cow!” exclaims the pilot, “This must be the shortest runway I've ever landed on!” The co-pilot looks left and right and says “Yeah, and about the widest, too...”

一架飞机正要在一个浓雾笼罩的机场降落。能见度几乎是零，于是飞行员只能靠自己的才智了。他对副驾驶说：“机翼，检查完毕。起落架，检查完毕。高度，检查完毕。对，我们进来了，稳住。”飞机着地，在尖叫和研磨声中紧挨着跑道的边缘停下。飞行员惊叫说：“天哪！这个肯定是我所降落过的最短的跑道。”副驾驶看了看左右说：“也是最宽的。”
