>Tree made of prohibited items
機(jī)場(chǎng)圣誕樹掛滿違禁品

Vilnius Airport in Lithuania has unveiled its alternative festive tree - made entirely of items confiscated from passengers.
立陶宛的維爾紐斯機(jī)場(chǎng)近日推出了一顆另類的圣誕樹，這棵圣誕樹完全是用從乘客那里沒收的物品做成。

The tree which is 1.5m tall took just over two weeks to create - but it's not just been done for the novelty value.
這棵高1.5米的樹只用了兩周多的時(shí)間就做好了，目的不只是為了新奇。

"The aim is to send an educational message on the importance of aviation security," said a spokesperson from Vilnius Airport. "The items are prohibited to carry in hand luggage and were taken away from passengers during screening. Knives, scissors, lighters, blades, and all sorts of other dangerous goods. So if you don't want your personal, yet prohibited, belongings to land on next year's Christmas tree, better check out the baggage requirements before you pack for your next flight.
維爾紐斯機(jī)場(chǎng)的一名發(fā)言人稱："其目的是傳達(dá)教育訊息，讓人們知道飛行安全的重要性。這些禁止在手提行李中攜帶的物品都是安檢時(shí)從乘客那里沒收來(lái)的。小刀、剪刀、打火機(jī)、刀片和其他各種危險(xiǎn)物品。因此如果你不想讓自己的違禁私人物品掛上明年的圣誕樹，最好在下次飛行打包前先查看一下行李規(guī)定。"
