1.  中英文逐句转述

不买票偷乘飞机可能会非常昂贵而且不舒服。

Stowing away on a plane can be expensive and uncomfortable.  

有一个来自英格兰的人叫Tony藏进了一个木头箱子，之后箱子被装载上了飞机。

A man called Tony from London managed to hide in a wooden box before it was loaded into a plane to Sydney .

飞机起飞了，没有人发现有人躺在了那个装着服装的箱子里。

The plane took off, and no one had discovered that a man was lying in the box which also contained clothing.

箱子里的空间非常小，Tony不得不蜷缩在一堆羊毛织品上方。他无法伸展双腿也无法翻身。

The space in the box was so small that Tony had to curl up (蜷缩) on a pile of woolen goods. He couldn't stretch his legs or turn around.

并不出人意料，他度过了一段漫长而难受的旅程，因为他被限制在那个黑暗而憋闷的箱子里长达18个小时。

Not surprisingly, he had a long and uncomfortable flight, for he was confined to the dark and stuffy box for over eighteen hours.

但是，当他想到可以省下的一大笔钱，他还是挺过了那漫长的飞行。

But as Tony thought of the large sum of money that would be saved, he was able to endure the long flight .

终于，飞机安全地在悉尼机场降落了。

Finally, the plane landed safely at Sydney airport.

Tony很兴奋，因为这段难受的旅程终于要结束了。

Tony was excited that his uncomfortable journey was about to end.

机场的工人们开始从飞机上卸下那些木头箱子，而此时Tony等待着偷偷留出箱子的机会。

Airport workers began to unload the wooden boxes from the plane, and Tony was waiting for a chance to secretly get out.  

猜猜看之后发生了啥？

Guess what happened then ?

嗯，他的确溜出了箱子，但是，不是“偷偷地”

Well, he did get out of the box, but not“secretly”.

他正躺在羊毛织品的上方，突然箱子的盖子被一个工人打开了，因为他不明白为啥这个箱子特别沉重。

Tony was still lying on the woollen goods when the cover of the box was removed by a worker, who wondered why this box was extremely heavy.  

当Tony和那位工人看到对方，都惊呆了。

Both Tony and the worker were astonished when they saw each other.  

Tony还没有来得及逃跑，就被警察逮捕了。

Tony had hardly had time to run away, when he was arrested by the police.

后来，他被罚款3500英镑，而正常票价是2000英镑。

He was then fined 3500 pounds while the normal price of a ticket is only 2000 pounds.

用这笔钱，他本可以订一张头等舱的票，并且享受一次舒适的旅行。

With that amount of money, he could have booked a first class ticket and enjoyed a comfortable flight.

An unbelievable stowaway

WELSH teenager Brian Robson was so homesick in 1965 Australia that he decided to do the unthinkable: mail himself to London in a crate.

His ill-planned journey went catastrophically wrong, and the cramped box, which measured less than a metre-cubed, almost became a coffin. 

As the crate was buffeted around in the hold(飞机货舱), desperate Robson was frequently forced to stand on his head, and repeatedly blacked out（失去知觉）.

“It was pretty scary,” he said. “The crate was a bit too small. I had only a pint of water and five biscuits to live on. I had finished the biscuits and had two mouthfuls of water left when they found me. ”

He managed to travel 12,900 kilometres to Los Angeles, spending 92 hours nailed（钉子固定） in the wooden box before he was discovered. He was then flown the rest of the way to London in comfort, his jetliner ticket marked “deported from the United States”.
