An Excellent Scheme

阅读 : 次

　　After 20 years as a pilot， I became an airport manger and soon found the stress was getting to me. I needed a release and wanted to buy a motorcycle， but my family thought it was too dangerous. My wife said， "Why don't you start flying again？"

　　The next day， as I showed a businessman around the airport， he looked longingly at the planes." I used to take flying lessons， but my wife made quit，" he lamented. "She said it was dangerous.

　　"Tell her you want to get a motorcycle，" I advised. My newfound friend has now earned his pilot's license.

　　Notes：

　　（1） stress n. 压力；压迫

　　（2） Why don't you start flying again？何不再度开始飞行呢？Why don' t you…？用来提出建议等。

　　（3） longingly adv. 渴望地

　　（4） lament v.惋惜
