[J-8]   The Pilot's Turn

       轮到机师

 

Passenger A:  Don't worry. Nothing serious is going to happen. Thousands of people travel by plane every day. Be a little philosophical. You die only when your turn comes--and not before.

Passenger B:  But suppose today happens to be the pilot's turn.

Passenger A:  Then the co-pilot will take over.

Passenger B:  But can he?  If the pilot's turn does come. 

 

[译注

 

旅客A别担心。严重的事不会发生的。每天都有几千人乘飞机。稍有哲理一点吧。只有轮到你时,你才会死,之前不会的。

旅客B但假定今天刚好轮到机师呢。

旅客A那么副机师会接过去的。

旅客B但他能吗?假如确实轮到正驾驶的话。 

 

philosophical (有哲理的、具人生观的)co-pilot (副机师、副驾驶)take over (接过去,承担)
