至今仍清楚記得上次做飛機(jī)出行的慘痛經(jīng)歷,在機(jī)場(chǎng)弄丟了身份證,誤了航班,連票也廢了。這樣的flightmare你經(jīng)歷過(guò)嗎?
Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'.
Flightmare(航班噩夢(mèng))指不愉快的飛行旅途,這個(gè)詞是flight(航班)和nightmare(噩夢(mèng))的合成詞。
Flightmares go well beyond the usual perils of airline travel such as crowded seats, lost luggage and food not fit for a dog. A flightmare usually involves lost money, lost opportunities (such as missing a graduation or a funeral) and lost dignity.
“航班噩夢(mèng)”所指的并不是飛行途中所遇到的座位擁擠、行李丟失及食物不佳等平常的問(wèn)題,而是諸如錢(qián)財(cái)丟失、機(jī)會(huì)錯(cuò)失(錯(cuò)過(guò)畢業(yè)典禮或親人葬禮)以及尊嚴(yán)喪失等嚴(yán)重的意外事件。
