我小时候经常坐飞机旅行。
I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy.
我的父母过去住在南美洲，我过去在假期里从欧洲飞去那里。
My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays.
总有一位空乘人员负责照管我，我从未有过不愉快的经历。
A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience.
我已经习惯了乘坐飞机，只有一次我感到过害怕。
I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.
起飞之后，我们正低空飞越城市并缓慢爬升，就在这时，飞机突然掉头，飞回了机场。
After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport.
在我们等待降落的同时，一位空乘告诉我们要保持冷静，飞机一落地就要安静地离机。
While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down.
机上所有人都很担忧，我们都急于弄清楚发生了什么事。
Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened.
后来我们得知机上有一位非常重要的人物。
Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board.
警方事先得到通报，说有炸弹被安置在飞机上。
The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane.
我们降落之后，飞机被彻底搜查了一遍。
After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly.
幸运的是，什么都没有找到，五小时后我们得以再次起飞。
Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.
