和老外聊天的地道口语第20期:不会有人劫机吧?

Sally: finally we're on board!

Harry¹: yes. It was so crowded. I'm worn-out. Let's find our seats.

S: are they window seats or aisle² seats?

H: let me see… yes, one window seat and one aisle.

S: ok. But can I trede my seat with you? I prefer the one near the window. I'm a terrible flyer. I always get airsick and can never relax until after I've landed.

H: that's fine. I'd like to be on the aisle anyway. It's easier to get in and out.

S: thanks. Where shall we put our luggage?

H: I think the smaller carry-on bag can go in the overhead³ compartment⁴, and the others can go under the seat.

S: good idea.

H: don't forget to keep the seat belt on.

S: ok. Hope it's a pleasant trip.

H: yes!

S: and no hijackers.

H: oh, you have too wild of an imagination.
终于上飞机了啊！
是啊，真挤，累死我了，先找座位吧。
是靠窗的还是靠过道的座啊？
我看看，一个靠窗，一个靠过道。
那我能跟你换座位吗？我晕机，飞机着陆前，我都会很紧张，所以想换座位。
没问题，我正好想挨着过道呢，进出方便。
太好了，谢谢！行李放哪里啊？
小的随身包就放上面的行李架上，其他的放座位底下吧。
好的。
别忘了系好安全带。
嗯，希望旅途顺利。
是啊！
可别碰上劫机的。
哦，你想得太多了。
