　　'A baby almost got hurt. That's what just fired me up, so that was it,' he said. 'I don't want to make a big deal about it.'

　　“一个婴儿差点受伤。而这一幕激怒了我，就是这样，”他说道。“我不想小题大做。”

　　Fierro confronted the uniformed employee, saying 'You do that to me and I'll knock you flat.' The employee then retorted, 'Try it. Hit me.' AA says he has been suspended.

　　菲耶罗面对这位穿着制服的职员，说：“你那样对我，我会揍扁你。”这名职员然后反驳道，“你试试。打我呀。”美国航空公司声称该职员已被停职。
