Hi，there！R U alone? Yeap. Do u mind me sitting here? Please.
lonely 与另一个近义词alone的区别: 仔细想想下面这句话，比较两词的不同： I lived alone, but I didn’t feel lonely. 我虽然单独一人生活，但我并不感到寂寞。 lonely 强调感觉上的孤独寂寞，是种不好的感觉。 但alone强调形式上的孤单，没有不好的感觉。 She watches TV when she is alone. 她单独一人时便看电视。 I can do it alone. 我可以独自一人办理此事。

Text
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
