国外坐飞机常用口语

Brianne: Hey, Dad! It’s good to see you!

Brianne: 嘿，老爸！见到你真好！

Thomas: Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes! That flight was an ordeal, let me tell you.

Thomas: 看见我闺女可不把我高兴坏了！我跟你说，坐这一趟飞机简直是上刑一样。

Brianne: You weren’t sat next to a baby, were you?

Brianne: 蛤？你不会是边上有个小婴儿吧？

Thomas: If only! No, I was all the way in the back, over the wing. No view at all, and next to no legroom. The flight was delayed, as you know, but rather than letting us deplane and stretch our legs, we had to sit around on the runway until it was our turn to take off. Once we finally got in the air, it was turbulence the whole flight, and the gentleman in the aisle seat lost his lunch all over my carry-on.

Thomas: 那倒是好了！没，我一直在后面坐着，在机翅上边。啥好风光都看不到，而且几乎没有伸腿的地方。航班晚点了，对吧，但是也不让我们下飞机伸伸腿。我们就只能老老实实坐着，在跑道上一直等到轮到我们起飞。一飞起来，全程都是颠簸气流，然后靠过道坐着的一个师傅把午饭全吐在我的随身行李上了。

Brianne: Well thank goodness you’re here safe, at least. Let’s get you home!

Brianne: 啊，不过谢天谢地你平安到达了。咱们回家啦！
