摘要:中國首架A380客機(jī)從北京首都國際機(jī)場(chǎng)起飛,于13時(shí)15分平穩(wěn)地降落在廣州白云國際機(jī)場(chǎng),成功首航。你知道怎么用英語表達(dá)嗎?
China's first Airbus A380, operated by China Southern Airlines Co Ltd, took off at 10 am on Monday at the Beijing Capital International Airport carrying nearly 500 passengers on its maiden flight to Guangzhou, and made a smooth landing at Baiyun International Airport at 1:10 pm as people inside and outside the double-decker cabin cheered.
Among those aboard the world's largest civil aircraft were retired star basketball player Yao Ming and other celebrities.
由南方航空公司引進(jìn)的中國首架空客A380飛機(jī),昨天搭載了近500名旅客,于上午10點(diǎn)從北京首都國際機(jī)場(chǎng)出發(fā),在下午1點(diǎn)10分順利降落在廣州白云機(jī)場(chǎng),完成了其首航。
退役籃球明星姚明也搭乘了這班全球最大的民用飛機(jī)。
【講解】
文中的“maiden flight”就是首航的意思。另外我們也可以說maiden trip、maiden voyage。此次空客A380首航是從北京到廣州的國內(nèi)航班,而“domestic flight”就是國內(nèi)航班的意思,我們所說的國際航班就是“international flight”。文章中提到的“double-decker cabin”就是空客A380的一大賣點(diǎn):雙層客艙。而“civil aircraft”就是民用飛機(jī)的意思。
