釋義:
Flightmare: F L I G H T M A R E
Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'.
flightmare(航班噩夢)指不愉快的飛行旅途,這個詞是flight(航班)和nightmare(噩夢)的合成詞。
Flightmares go well beyond the usual perils of airline travel such as crowded seats, lost luggage and food not fit for a dog. A flightmare usually involves lost money, lost opportunities (such as missing a graduation or a funeral) and lost dignity.
“航班噩夢”所指的并不是飛行途中所遇到的座位擁擠、行李丟失及食物不佳等平常的問題,而是諸如錢財丟失、機會錯失(錯過畢業典禮或親人葬禮)以及尊嚴喪失等嚴重的意外事件。
I hope everybody would be lucky enough to avoid the flightmares. And I’m gonna use some examples to show you guys how to use this slang.
舉例:
當飛機晚點5個小時,而你因此失去了觀看你家idol演唱會的機會
你會說
The flight was delayed and I arrived at the concert 5 hours late, what a flightmare!
Actually, this slang is pretty easy to use, just think of it as a regular noun to describe a horrible, unpleasant flight.
實際上呢,這個俚語還是挺容易運用的,只要把它單純地當做一個名詞來描述一次糟糕的飛行旅途就好了。
I hope you guys can all remember the meaning of ‘flightmare’ and master it just like eating a piece of cake. And FYI, wish everyone would be lucky enough to avoid the accidents and flightmares.
希望大家都能夠輕輕松松地牢牢記住這個組合單詞的意義和用法,另外呢, 我希望大家都是幸運的, 不會再有這樣糟糕的經歷。
