Unit 2

I. 重点句子

1. One case reported from America stemmed from an interminable delay in takeoff, when passengers were cooped up in their aircraft on the tarmac for four hours, without food, drink or information. Mass unrest is less common than individual misbehavior, as in the case of the convict who recently went crazy on a flight, attacked the crew and tried to open a door in mid-flight.

美国报道的一个案例就是源于无休止的延迟起飞：乘客被关在飞机里，在停机坪上等了四个小时，期间没有食物、饮料和信息。大规模骚乱比起个人行为不当要少见。一个已经宣判的案例里乘客在飞机上突发癫狂。他攻击机组人员，并试图在飞行途中打开舱门。

2. Modern aircraft are equipped with sophisticated air conditioning devices—but running them at optimum capacity burns up valuable aviation fuel. Many airlines routinely instruct their flight crews to run the systems on minimum settings. Campaigners for improved air quality claim that this can lead to irritability and disorientation.

现代飞机都配备了完备的空调装置——但要使其以最佳状态运行就会耗尽宝贵的航空燃油。许多航空公司通常指示飞行人员以最低设置来运行系统。要求改善空气质量的活动家声称这就会导致烦躁不安，并令人不知所措。

3. Cabin and flight crews, who are in the front line of the battle against disruptive and dangerous in-flight behavior, have called for stiffer penalties against the offenders. Management have also called for legislation—while denying that its cost-cutting practices have contributed to the problem.

面对破坏和飞行中的危险行为，战斗在一线的客舱和飞行机组人员要求给予肇事者更严厉的惩罚。管理层也在呼吁立法，不过同时否认其消减成本的做法也是问题发生的一个诱因。
