飞行器

Nadim was at the airport with his mum and dad. They had been to America for a holiday. Now it was time to fly home. Nadim's dad was nervous. "I don't like flying," he said. "I hate taking off." "I don't hate it," said Nadim. "I love it."

纳迪姆和爸爸妈妈在机场。 他们之前去美国度假了。 现在到了坐飞机回家的时候了。 纳迪姆的爸爸很紧张。 “我不喜欢坐飞机，”他说。 “我特别讨厌起飞的过程。” “我可不讨厌，”纳迪姆说。 “我超喜欢的。”

On the flight there was a surprise for Nadim. The steward asked him if he wanted to see the controls. Nadim was excited. He had always wanted to see the flight deck of an aeroplane. "Oh brilliant!" he said. "Yes, please!"

飞行途中，纳迪姆收到了一个惊喜。 乘务员问他想不想看看飞机操纵装置。 纳迪姆兴奋极了。 他一直都想看看飞机的驾驶舱。 “哇太棒了！”他说。 “好呀，麻烦你了！”

The steward took Nadim and his dad through the aeroplane. "These planes are huge," said Nadim. "They hold about four hundred people," said the steward. "That's a lot of people in one plane," said Nadim.

乘务员带着纳迪姆和爸爸穿过飞机客舱。 “这些飞机好大啊，”纳迪姆说。 “它们大概能载四百人，”乘务员说。 “一架飞机里装这么多人，真多啊，”纳迪姆说。

Nadim and his dad went on to the flight deck. They met the captain. "We're flying on auto-pilot," said the captain. "The plane is flying by itself." Nadim looked at all the controls. "I'd like to be a pilot," he said.

纳迪姆和爸爸走进了驾驶舱。 他们见到了机长。 “我们现在开启了自动驾驶，”机长说。 “飞机正在自行飞行。” 纳迪姆看着所有的操纵装置。 “我想当一名飞行员，”他说。

"It takes a long time to learn," said the Captain. "But what's to stop you?" "Don't let him take over the controls just yet," joked Nadim's dad. "I'm a nervous passenger. "Oh Dad!" said Nadim.

“学飞行要花很长时间哦，”机长说。 “不过没什么能阻挡你实现梦想呀。” “先别让他来操纵飞机啊，”纳迪姆的爸爸开玩笑说。 “我这个乘客可紧张得很。” “哎呀爸爸！”纳迪姆说。
