A Boeing 747 was flying in the night sky of the Pacific Ocean. The captain got on the loud speaker:" Travellers, one of our engines was out of order , therefore we’ll arrive in Tokyo an hour late ." After a short while, the trumpet (喇叭)rang out again:" Everybody, the second one of our four engines went wrong, we will reach Tokyo late three hours as a result." At this time, the passengers started disturbance(騷動，動亂). Someone said:" In case another engine is down again , we’ll be up here all night." Moreover, a chap got to shouting unendurably:" I do not choose to take your awful airplane any longer, let me get off quickly."
一架波音747飛行在太平洋的夜空，喇叭裡傳來機長的聲音：“旅客們，我們的`一個引擎壞了，因此我們將晚到達東京一個小時。”過了一會兒，喇叭再次響起：“諸位，我們四個引擎中又壞了一個引擎，為此我們將晚到三個小時。”這時，乘客開始騷動。有人說：“萬一再壞一個，我們得呆在天上一整夜了。”還有已經受不了的，大叫：“我再也不坐你們的破飛機了，快讓我下去。”
