咱們還在地面上呢
Mr. Johnson had never been up in an aeroplane before and he had read a lot about air accidents, so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride in his own small plane, Mr. Johnson was very worried about accepting. Finally, 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 airport. 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 as small as ants, don't they?"
"Those are ants," answered his friend. "We're still on the ground."
江森先生以前從沒坐飛機上過天,但他看過很多飛行事故的報道。所以有天一位朋友提出要用自己的小飛機帶他兜一圈時,江森先生就沒敢答應。不過,朋友勸慰說那非常安全,最后他才登上了飛機。
朋友發動引擎并開始滑上機場跑道。江森先生聽說過飛行中最危險的時刻就是起飛和降落,所以他超級害怕就把眼睛閉起來。
過了一兩分鐘,他再睜開眼睛,看著機窗外邊,對朋友說:“瞧下面那些人哪,他們看起來像螞蟻那么小,好?”
“那就是螞蟻,”朋友回答說,“咱們還在地面上呢?!?/P>
