A few years ago, there were a lot of hijacking on aeroplanes, so now people always search passengers and their luggage at airports before they let them get into an aeroplane, because they do not want them to take guns or bombs or other dangerous things on to the plane with them.
几年前,在飞机上有许多劫机案,因此现在在飞机场,人们总是检查乘客和他们的行李,然后才让他们登机,因为他们不想让他们把枪或者炸弹,或其他危险物品随身带上飞机。
Mr and Mrs Smith were singers, and they travelled a lot. Whenever they went by plane, people searched them and their luggage, of course.
史密斯夫妇是歌唱家,他们经常旅行。每次他们乘飞机旅行时,人们当然检查他们和他们的行李。
One day, Mr Smith came to the airport, and the men searched him and his luggage first. He was ready to get on the plane. Then Mrs Smith arrived. She was late and in a hurry, but the people searched her and her bag carefully. Then Mr Smith heard her laugh and say to the men happily, “Oh, that’s very good! I’ve looked for those scissors for several days, and now you’ve found them for me! Thank you very much!”
一天,史密斯先生来到飞机场,工作人员首先检查了他和他的行李。他准备登机了。这时史密斯夫人到了。她很晚了,因此很匆忙,但是人们还是仔细检查了她和她的包。后来史密斯先生听见她大笑起来,然后高兴地对那些人说:“啊,那太好了!这把剪刀我找了好几天,现在你帮我找到了!非常感谢你们!”
