First Flight
Mr. Johnson had never been up in an aerophane before and he had read a lot a
bout air accidents, so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride
in his own small phane, Mr. Johnson was very worried about accepting. Finall
y, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson
boarded the plane.
His friend started the engine and began to taxi onto the runway of the airpo
rt. Mr. Johnson had heard that the most dangerous part of a flight were the
take-off and the landing, so he was extremely frightened and closed his eyes
.
After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the
plane, and said to his friend, "Look at those people down there. They look a
s small as ants, don't they?"
"Those are ants," answered his friend. "We're still on the ground."
第一次坐飞机
约翰逊先生从前未乘过飞机,他读过许多关于飞行事故的报道。所以,有一天一位
朋友邀请他乘自己的小飞机飞行时,约翰逊先生非常担心,不敢接受。不过,由于朋友
不断保证说飞行是很安全的,约翰逊先生终于被说服了,登上了飞机。
他的朋友启动引擎开始在机场跑道上滑行。约翰逊先生听说飞行中最危险的是起飞
与降落,所以他吓得紧闭双眼。
过了一两分钟,他睁开双眼朝窗外望去,接着对朋友说道:“看下面那些人,他们
看起来就象蚂蚁一样小,是不是?”
“那些就是蚂蚁,”他的朋友答道,“我们还在地面上。”
