本期场景：

“关于乘坐飞机的时候最糟糕的事情是什么?”对于这个问题的答案我想最多的就应该是延误了。然而飞机作为速度最快同时也是最安全的交通工具其中是有一定原因的。在每一次航班起飞以及着陆的过程中都会经过大量的安全评估，每一个细小的可能影响的飞行安全的状况都必须被排除在外，哪怕“只是下了点儿雨”。在电影《萨利机长》中有这样一段话—“宁延误，不事故”。这期节目中的场景就是关于因航路天气原因可能造成航班变化的情况。

《Will the rainstorm change the flight？》

Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Cabin English. I am Jerry. There is a question at the beginning?What is the worst thing you may think when take a flight? I am pretty sure Delay will be the most answers. Being as the fastest and safest vehicle, airplane has that name for a reason. There is a mount evaluation to insure a safety flight even “just a rain”.There is a line in the film《Sully》“A delay is better than a disaster”. In this program we will see a situation about the rainstorm causes a diversion.

Well，There is a quiz question based on the dialogue.

Who will deal with the cancellation of the flight?

A. The caption

B. The flight attendant

C. The ground staff

Now,attention to the dialogue.

F: What can I do for you,sir?

P:I’ve heard the announcement about the hovering. My question is, will the rain change the flight?

F: It depends on whether the condition gets better. If so, we will land as schedule. If not, maybe the caption will choose a diversion.

P: And the diversion will be? May I ask.

F: I suppose it will be GuangZhou.

P: Well. Can I make a cancellation there?

F: That is possible,sir. We will have a ground staff onboard to deal with that.

P: Okay. Let us wish that will not be the plan.

If you would like to review the conversation, you may need the vocabulary.

Hover is to stay in the air in one place.

Hover的意思是空中盘旋。

Schedule in the dialogue share the same meaning as timetable.

文章中的schedule和timetable都可以用来表示交通工具的时刻或者计划。

Diversion here means the alternative airport that is used when usual one can not be achieved.

文章中的diversion指代的是备降机场。

Cancellation is the noun form of cancel.

Cancellation是cancel的名词形式，表示取消。

If you are not quite sure about something，you can use‘It depends on sth’for more explanation.

 It depends on sth可以用来列举可能影响的事情 意为 “取决于”

Deal with means to handle something.

短语deal with表示处理，相当于单词handle。

I am not a fan of delay or even cancellation of a flight. I think nobody is. But try to think that is all for the flight safety. After all, safety is the only matters. Hope we all have a good flight. See you next time. Bye~
