Flight attendant: I’m sorry, sir, but all passengers need to turn off their portable electronic devices for takeoff, so you’ll need to turn off your laptop. 
空乘人员：对不起，先生，飞机起飞前，所有乘客需要关掉他们的便携式电子产品。所以，您需要关掉手提电脑。
Alec: I just need to finish one last email. 
艾里克：我只要完成这最后一封电子邮件就行。
Flight attendant: Sir, we can’t take off until you turn that computer off. 
空乘人员：先生，除非您关掉电脑，否则我们不能起飞。
Alec: Fine. It’s off. Why all the fuss, anyway? 
艾里克：好！已经做完。为什么大惊小怪的？
Flight attendant: It’s regulations. Signals emitted by electronics may interfere with the plane’s communication systems or navigation. 
空乘人员：这是规定，电子设备发出的信号会干扰飞机的通讯系统或者导航。
Alec: All right. 
艾里克：好的。
Flight attendant: Sir, you’ll also need to turn off your tablet computer and your cell phone. Those are also considered portable electronic devices. 
空城人员：先生，您还需要关掉平板电脑和手机。这些也属于便携式电子设备。
Alec: You’ve got to be kidding me. You mean I have to sit here twiddling my thumbs while I wait for the plane to take off? I thought the FAA eased up on those regulations. 
艾里克：你在开玩笑吗？你是说我需要无聊的坐在这儿等待飞机起飞？我认为联邦航空局可以放宽这些规定。
Flight attendant: I’m afraid not, sir. Please power down all of your devices so we can proceed with takeoff. 
空乘人员：恐怕不能，先生。请您关掉所有的电子设备，以便我们能够起飞。
Alec: Okay, fine. What am I suppose to do until we get the all clear to use our electronics again? 
艾里克：好，好。直到警报解除我们能够再次使用电子产品期间我能做些什么？
Flight attendant: Perhaps you could read a magazine. 
空乘人员：或许你可以读读报纸。
Alec: That’s what I was doing on my tablet before you made me turn it off. 
艾里克：那就是你让我关掉平板电脑前做的事。
Flight attendant: Perhaps you could take a flying leap out the window. 
空乘人员：也许你可以从窗户跳出去。
Alec: What did you say? 
艾里克：你说什么？
Flight attendant: I said, “Look at that luggage heap out the window.” 
空乘人员：我说，“看窗外那些堆积的行李。”

Flight attendant: I’m sorry, sir, but all passengers need to turn off their portable electronic devices for takeoff, so you’ll need to turn off your laptop. 

Alec: I just need to finish one last email.
