至今仍清楚記得上次做飛機出行的慘痛經歷,在機場弄丟了身份證,誤了航班,連票也廢了。這樣的flightmare你經歷過嗎?
Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'.
Flightmare(航班噩夢)指不愉快的飛行旅途,這個詞是flight(航班)和nightmare(噩夢)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”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題,而是諸如錢財丟失、機會錯失(錯過畢業典禮或親人葬禮)以及尊嚴喪失等嚴重的意外事件。
