为什么航班会晚点那么多？在航程中遇到厉害的气流是什么体验
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: Is everything alright?
 
一切都正常吧？
 
B: Yes, everything's fine.
 
是的，还不错。
 
A: What took so long? I thought your flight was about to arrive three hours ago.
 
怎么花了这么长时间？你的班机三小时之前就该到了。
 
B: Didn't they announce that our flight was delayed?
 
没有广播通知我们的班机晚点了吗？
 
A: I didn't hear anything about a delay. I thought everything was running on time. What happened?
 
我没有听到任何关于晚点的广播。我以为都会正常到达呢，出什么事儿啦？
 
B: We boarded the plane on time. But then we were held up for almost an hour due to a maintenance problem.
 
我们是准时登机的，但是后来由于设备维修，我们整整耽误了将近一个钟头。
 
A: Then what? Your plane was three hours late!
 
那后来又出什么事儿了？你们可是晚点了三个钟头呢。
 
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.
 
后来我们好不容易起飞了，可是半个小时以后，机长广播说，我们这次航程将会遇到很厉害的气流。
 
A: The turbulence is pretty normal, isn't it?
 
遇到气流很平常吧，对吗？
 
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。可是我从来没有遇到过这么强的气流，所有人都开始晕机，空乘人员也不得不在他们位子上坐好，机长决定提前降落。
 
A: So where did you land?
 
那你们在哪儿着陆了？
 
B: We landed in Southampton and waited an hour for the storms to pass and then took off again.
 
我们降落在南安普顿，在地面上等了一个小时，等暴风雪的气流过去之后才再次起飞。
 
A: That sounds like a nightmare.
 
听上去简直是场噩梦。
 
B: It wasn't too bad. At least I'm alive.
 
也不是太糟糕，至少我还活着。
 
A: Have you had anything to eat?
 
你吃过饭了没？
 
B: I managed to get a sandwich from a flight attendant. How about you?
 
空姐给我送过一个三明治，你呢？
 
A: I had a few coffees while I was waiting. Let's get out of here.
 
等你的时候，我喝了一点儿咖啡。咱们离开这儿。
