herculean-holistic A circus hijacking
馬戲團劫機
Circuses in the hinterland were hilarious. Due to some hereditary miracle in the people who joined the circus,
內地的馬戲團非常熱鬧 由于有些加入馬戲團的 人身懷祖傳絕技,
hitherto never- attempted feats of daring were always being performed. High-flying stunts were popular.
所以他們經常表演一些 迄今無人嘗試過的節目 高空飛行特技表演非常 受歡迎,
Herculean physical feats were the standard. But it was the high tech plan to hijack a real plane
艱難的人體表演只是 普通節目, 而劫持一架從馬戲團上 空飛過的真飛機卻是一 個高科技計劃,
as it flew over the circus that really hinted at something more than heterodox. It was no hit-and- miss plan.
只有它才真正暗示出某 種極其異端的做法。 這可不是一個隨意想出 的計劃
This hijacking was going to be done by locals hired by the circus announcer and remembered as part of his heritage.
這次劫機行動將由馬戲 團報幕員雇用的當地人 完成 并作為他的遺產的一部 分被人銘記。
The hierarchical order of each member of the team was the highlight of the event.
劫機小組的各位成員按 等級排序 是整個事件中最有趣的 部分,
That was because the announcer's son, only 17 years old, was directing men ten to twenty years older than himself.
因為馬戲團報幕員的兒 子只有17歲, 卻在指揮比自己大10 到20歲的人。
In hindsight, all agreed that this was the obvious reason for the hiccup. The holistic plan was executed brilliantly.
事后想來, 大家一致認 為這顯然是使劫機暫時 中斷的原因。 整個劫機計劃執行得極 為出色。
When the plane was hijacked it flew over the circus and did two aerial loops The passengers had a scare when that happened.
飛機被劫持時, 它正在 馬戲團上空飛行, 還在 空中盤旋了兩圈。 意外發生時乘客們嚇了 一跳。
When one of the hired men broke out of the hierarchy and told the pilot to do it again, however,
但是, 當一位受雇者打 破等級制度, 讓飛行員再轉圈時,
no one tried to hinder him but the announcer's son. The man yelled out his name and told him to leave him alone.
除了報幕員的兒子之外 沒人想阻止他, 于是那人大聲喊著報幕 員兒子的名字, 讓他別 管他。
When the hijacking was complete and the whole team escaped successfully everyone thought it was a heritage to be proud of.
劫機完成了, 整個小組 都成功地逃離了, 大家都認為這件事值得 自豪。
Unfortunately the police had heard the name of the announcer's son. They attacked the circus like a hive of bees and arrested all involved.
不幸的是, 警察聽到了 報幕員兒子的名字, 于是一窩蜂似地突襲了 馬戲團, 逮捕了所有涉 案人員。
A hijacking wasn't so hilarious to them!
對他們來說劫機可沒 那么好玩!
