[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。
注: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)。
