We are two English, English teachers. In today's B2 English conversation. We will share some crazy airplane stories. Are you ready? 我绝对准备好了。你准备好了吗,Tristan? I am definitely ready. Are you ready, Tristan? � 那么,先讲一个最近的故事。故事从迪拜开始。174个人正在前往以色列特拉维夫的路上。 So, to start with is a recent one. This starts in Dubai. 174 people on their way to Tel Aviv in Israel. 三个半小时的航班——吃早餐,看电影,你知道的,然后回家。这不是一趟长途航班。 Three-and-a-half-hour flight — breakfast, film, you know, go home. It's not a long flight. 驾驶舱里有两名飞行员。我们有机长Smit Machchhar。我可能得查一下这些名字的发音。 In the cockpit are the two pilots. We have Captain Smit Machchhar. I might have to look at the pronunciation of these names. 这是个响亮有力的名字!Smit机长。我喜欢。 That's a good strong name! Captain Smit. I like it. 他来自印度,而他的第一副驾驶——第一副驾驶就是副机长——今年29岁。他来自阿曼,名字叫Hamam al-Hammami。这是那个地区的一个典型名字。 And he's from India, and his first officer — first officer is the co-pilot — he's 29 years old. He's from Oman, and his name is Hamam al-Hammami. A classic name from that region. 飞行大约还剩一个小时的时候,你知道,他们下方全是沙漠。他们正在飞入约旦。 About an hour left into the flight, you know, below them is all desert. They're going into Jordan. 然后人们听到驾驶舱里传来喊叫声,驾驶舱门后正在发生打斗。一场打斗。 Then people hear shouting from the cockpit, and behind the cockpit door there is a fight happening. A fight. 那个阿曼人抓起了……你知道他抓起了什么吗? The Omani guy grabs… Do you know what he grabbed? 有一件武器。嗯,是一个工具,一个他们放在驾驶舱里的危险工具。一把应急斧。他拿起应急斧,用它攻击机长。 There's a weapon. Well, there is a tool, a dangerous tool that they keep in the cockpit. An emergency axe. He takes the emergency axe and he attacks the captain with it. 所有人都在尖叫。飞机开始下坠。 Everyone's screaming. The plane begins to fall. 所以,当然,所有人都吓疯了,吓得要命。 So, of course, everyone's freaking the duck out, freaking the fridge out. 他们变得歇斯底里。飞机上的每个人都歇斯底里。 They've become hysterical. Everybody on the plane is hysterical. 是的,是的。他们都疯了,因为飞机下降了14,000英尺。人们纷纷给家人打电话。 Yes, yes. They've gone mental, because it drops 14,000 feet. People ringing their families. 然后驾驶舱门打开了。我会说那位印度机长——我念不出他的名字,Machchhar——他流血很严重,正在和一个拿着斧头的人搏斗,但他设法够到了门的解锁装置。 Then the cockpit door opens. I'd say the Indian captain — I can't pronounce his name, Machchhar — he's bleeding badly, fighting a man with an axe, but he was able to reach the door unlock. 乘客们向前冲。 The passengers run forward. 一个水管工。一个水管工。他把副驾驶从机长身上拉开,把他按住,这个水管工甚至抓住了操纵杆。 A plumber. A plumber. He pulls the first officer off the captain, holds him down, and the plumber even grabs the controls. 当然,谁来让飞机降落呢,对吧?那位印度机长,他流血很严重。而另一位机长,嗯,他真的在喊:"Allahu Akbar(真主至大)!"真的,不是开玩笑。你知道的,老一套。 And of course, who's going to land it, right? The Indian captain, he's bleeding badly. And the other captain, well, he's literally shouting, "Allahu Akbar!" Like, no joke. You know, the classic. 我更震惊的是,一个水管工开始开飞机了。 I am more astounded that a plumber started flying the plane. 这确实很极端。水管工开了飞机。 That is certainly extreme. The plumber flew the plane. 我敢肯定,那天早上他离开酒店时,没想到自己会去驾驶飞机,用一只脚踩住一个恐怖分子——那个人一只手还在挥舞斧头——旁边还有一位流着血的机长。 And I'm sure that morning, he didn't leave his hotel thinking he'd be controlling a plane, holding a terrorist down with his foot, who was waving an axe around in one hand, with a bleeding captain next to him. 你能想象那个人得有多自负,才会说:"别担心,伙计们。我玩过很多,比如,飞行模拟器。我知道怎么开飞机。别担心,大家让开。" Could you imagine the amount of ego that man must have had to say, "Don't worry, guys. I have played lots of, like, aeroplane simulator. I know how to fly the plane. Don't worry, step aside, guys." 他们大喊:"有人会开飞机吗?"幸运的是,有两名乘客是飞行员,就是,不当班的。 They shouted, "Does anyone know how to fly a plane?" And luckily, two of the passengers were pilots, like, off duty. 好的。是的。 OK. Yeah. 是的,所以他们抓住了那个疯子,把他按倒。其他人设法止血。然后客舱里的那两个人,那两名不当班的飞行员,接管了飞机,降落在沙特阿拉伯的一个军事基地。警察逮捕了那个人。机上全部174人,都活了下来。 Yeah, so they grabbed the crazy man, pinned him down. Others tried to stop the bleeding. And then the two people in the cabin, the two pilots off duty, they took control of the plane, and they landed at a military base in Saudi Arabia. And the police arrested the man. And all 174 people on board, they lived. 这是个很精彩的故事。我觉得某种程度上很聪明,因为他用了一件武器——他用了一件不需要通过机场安检的武器,你知道吗? It's a pretty good story. I guess smart in some way, because he used a weapon — he used a weapon that he didn't need to get past airport security, you know? 他大概事先就想好了,你知道的:"我就用那把斧头。它本来就在那里。" He had probably thought this in advance, you know: "I'll use the axe. That's already there." 所以这些人当然都是英雄。嗯,我对印度文化,比如说,算是相当了解吧。很明显,比如,那边的人都很喜欢这件事。到处都是他的照片,比如在驾驶舱里,竖着大拇指。如今能看到一些英雄事迹真好,你知道的,比如人们在颂扬正能量。 So these guys were, of course, heroes. And well, I know Indian culture, like, fairly well, I would say. And obviously, like, they're loving it over there. And there's pictures of him everywhere, like in the cockpit, with his thumb up. It's good to see some heroics nowadays, you know, like people celebrating positivity. 但说句公道话,就是,是的,他确实救了所有人,但他也必须救自己,对吧? But to be fair, it's just like, yeah, he did save everyone, but he also had to save himself, right? 嗯,是的,我是说,这里面有,比如,自我保护。是的。 Well, yeah, I mean, there is, like, self-preservation. Yeah. 我敢肯定他和那个人搏斗的时候,他并没有,我不知道,在想着全体机组人员。但也许他想了,我不知道。我是说,确实有英雄般的人,比如,在军队里,你会遇到这种人,不是吗?你会遇到,你知道的,那种愿意牺牲自己或者让自己死去来拯救别人的指挥官。所以,我是说,我不知道。 I'm sure when he was battling the other guy, he wasn't, I don't know, thinking about the whole crew. But maybe he was, I don't know. I mean, you do get heroic people, like, in the military, you'll get that, won't you? You'll get, you know, commanders who will kill themselves or let themselves die to save other people. So, I mean, I don't know. 有那么多故事,你知道的,经典的"男人扑向手榴弹",你知道的,因为他意识到他的…… So many stories of, you know, the classic "man jumps on grenade", you know, because he realises that his… 如果他这么做,他能救,比如说,四个人。这种事其实发生过好几次。 He can save, like, four people if he does that. And that's actually happened quite a few times. � 我想讲讲2010年的Filair航空。 I would like to speak about Filair in 2010. 那是一场发生在8月25日的空难,当时一架国内商业航班在接近刚果民主共和国班顿杜机场时坠毁,造成20人死亡——18名乘客,两名机组人员——只有一名幸存者。我得补充一句,是一名人类幸存者。如果你相信那些传闻的话,还有一名鳄鱼幸存者。 It was a crash which occurred on the 25th of August, when a domestic commercial flight approaching Bandundu Airport in the Democratic Republic of Congo crashed, resulting in 20 deaths — 18 passengers, two crew members — and only one survivor. One human survivor, I should add. And if you believe the stories, a crocodile survivor. 嗯,那天开始时和平常没什么两样。这架小飞机实际上服务于刚果的一个地区,从一个小镇飞到另一个小镇,再飞到下一个小镇——有点像,我不
