He Hates to Fly
他討厭坐飛機
He had a 9 p.m. flight. He hated to fly. A passenger plane is always crowded. It is always full. Passengers are jammed together. They are packed together. Side by side. Elbow to elbow. Front to back. Knees to butts. Five hours from California to New York. Five hours of people eating. Five hours of people drinking. Five hours of people burping. Five hours of people going to the bathroom. But first, he had to go through airport security. He hated airport security. Why do they call it airport security? They don't make him feel secure. They make him feel angry. They always take him aside. They always double-check him. Does he look like a terrorist? Does he look like a mad bomber? Maybe security has a machine that reads minds. That's it. They have a machine that can read his mind. The machine says, "Angry passenger. Make him angrier."
他晚上9點有飛機。他討厭坐飛機。客機總是那么擁擠。總是人滿為患。乘客簇擁到了一起。被擁擠到了一起。肩并肩。肘對肘。前邊挨著后邊。膝蓋對著屁股。從加州到紐約需要5個小時。人們在這5個小時里吃東西。5個小時里喝水。五個小時打嗝。5個小時上廁所。但是，首先他需要通過安保。他討厭機場安保。人們為什么會把它叫作機場安保？他們沒有讓他感到安全。他們讓他感到氣憤。他們總是把他叫道一旁。總是對他進行嚴格檢查。他看起來像恐怖分子嗎？他像是瘋狂的投彈手嗎？或許，安保部門有一臺能夠閱讀人心的機器。肯定是。他們有一臺能夠閱讀人心的設備。設備說：“憤怒的乘客。讓他再憤怒一些。”
