176 Flight Simulator 模擬飛行器
Bad weather had backed up all flights, and as a result our plane sat on the runway for three hours. All attempts to placate passengers weren't working. Then the pilot came on the intercom to announce his umpteenth update: “Folks, we'll be getting permission to take off, but I have to tell you that we're 26th in line for departure.” As a collective groan filled the aircraft, I took the mike and added, “Ladies and gentlemen, please close your window shades. We'll soon be showing a movie, ‘Flight Simulator’.”
壞天氣使所有的航班都推遲了,結(jié)果我們的飛機(jī)在跑道上等了三小時。所有使乘客息怒的努力都不起作用。飛行員用廣播宣布他的第無數(shù)次情況通報:“伙計們,我們將會得到起飛的許可。但是我不得不告訴大家,我們在起飛線上排名第二十六。”當(dāng)機(jī)艙里充滿抱怨聲的時候,我接過麥克風(fēng)補(bǔ)充說:“女士們、先生們,請把窗戶擋板關(guān)上。我們馬上就要放映一部電影:《模擬飛行器》。”
