中式英语错误纠正(71):飞机不安全
飞机不安全 Flying Is Dangerous
True story 真实故事
I remember the first time I went back home from China and the scene at the airport.Lots of friends had come to say goodbye. One friend came up to me and said, "I wish you the best landing." All of a sudden I started to worry if flying in China was usually not safe. Later, I asked my friend what she meant and she told me her meaning had been“ 一路平安 ” which in English would be“Have a safe/good trip.”
我记得第一次我从中国回家时在机场的场景。那天,很多朋友都来送别。一个朋友上前来和我说:“I wish you the best landing.”突然间我就开始担心是不是中国的航空不怎么安全。随后,我问我的朋友这是什么意思,她告诉我她指的是:“一路平安。”这在英语中应该是:“Have a safe/good trip.”
