En route to Hawaii,
I noticed one of my passengers in the coach section of the airplane
dialing her cell phone.
"Excuse me. That can't be on during the flight," I reminded her.
"Besides, we're over the ocean-you won't get a signal out here."
"That's okay," she said.
"I'm just calling my daughter. She's sitting up in first class."
在飞往夏威夷的途中，我注意到飞机普通舱里的一位乘客正在拨打手机。
"对不起。飞行途中是不可以接打手机的。"我提醒她道。
"此外，我们现在正处于大洋上空。您的手机是不能接收到信号的。"
"没关系，"她回答道。
"我只是在给我的女儿打电话。她就在飞机的头等舱里。"

多学一点
en route to "在去...的途中"
相当于on the way to
例如：They will stop at Paris en route from London to Rome.
他们在从伦敦往罗马的途中将在巴黎停留。
coach section 是飞机的"普通舱"
first class是飞机"一等舱，头等舱"
经济舱即 "economy class"
"remind somebody to do something"和"remind somebody of something"
我们可以说：You should remind him to call me.
你让他记着给我打个电话啊。
又比如：I reminded Gerald for his promise.
我提醒吉罗德不要忘记他许下的诺言。
