Flightmare: F L I G H T M A R E

　　Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'.

　　flightmare（航班噩梦）指不愉快的飞行旅途，这个词是flight（航班）和nightmare（噩梦）的合成词。

　　Flightmares go well beyond the usual perils of airline travel such as crowded seats, lost luggage and food not fit for a dog. A flightmare usually involves lost money, lost opportunities (such as missing a graduation or a funeral) and lost dignity.

　　“航班噩梦”所指的并不是飞行途中所遇到的座位拥挤、行李丢失及食物不佳等平常的问题，而是诸如钱财丢失、机会错失（错过毕业典礼或亲人葬礼）以及尊严丧失等严重的意外事件。

　　I hope everybody would be lucky enough to avoid the flightmares. And I’m gonna use some examples to show you guys how to use this slang.

　　举例：

　　当飞机晚点5个小时，而你因此失去了观看你家idol演唱会的机会

　　你会说

　　The flight was delayed and I arrived at the concert 5 hours late, what a flightmare!

　　Actually, this slang is pretty easy to use, just think of it as a regular noun to describe a horrible, unpleasant flight.

　　实际上呢，这个俚语还是挺容易运用的，只要把它单纯地当做一个名词来描述一次糟糕的飞行旅途就好了。

　　I hope you guys can all remember the meaning of ‘flightmare’ and master it just like eating a piece of cake. And FYI, wish everyone would be lucky enough to avoid the accidents and flightmares.

　　希望大家都能够轻轻松松地牢牢记住这个组合单词的意义和用法，另外呢， 我希望大家都是幸运的， 不会再有这样糟糕的经历。
