咱们还在地面上呢
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."
江森先生以前从没坐飞机上过天,但他看过很多飞行事故的报道。所以有天一位朋友提出要用自己的小飞机带他兜一圈时,江森先生就没敢答应。不过,朋友劝慰说那非常安全,最后他才登上了飞机。
朋友发动引擎并开始滑上机场跑道。江森先生听说过飞行中最危险的时刻就是起飞和降落,所以他超级害怕就把眼睛闭起来。
过了一两分钟,他再睁开眼睛,看着机窗外边,对朋友说:“瞧下面那些人哪,他们看起来像蚂蚁那么小,好?”
“那就是蚂蚁,”朋友回答说,“咱们还在地面上呢。”
