Why Do People Love Gold？ 为什么人们喜爱黄金？

林芬

When you are traveling by plane， there are some passengers you just dont want to have next to you.

当你乘飞机旅行的时候，有一些乘客是你不想坐在他们身边的。

Small Children

Perhaps you normally2 like them， but when you are sitting next to them on a plane， it is a different thing： They usually spend all flight moving around and dropping their toys on the floor， and when they are drinking their orange juice， it ends up on your trousers. If they want to play with you， you cant have the little sleep.

熊孩子

或许平常你喜欢他们，但是在飞机上坐在他们身边时，事情就不一样了：他们经常在整个航行过程中到处走动，把玩具丢到地上。当他们喝完橘子汁时，你的裤子也会被弄脏。要是他们想跟你玩，你休想小睡片刻。

Conversation3 Makers

You can realize this type as soon as you sit down. They immediately4 start talking about the plane， or the weather， or they ask you a personal question. It is very difficult not to talk to these people. Youll probably have to keep talking until the plane lands.

话唠

你一坐下，就能感受到这种类型的人了。他们立刻开始谈论飞机、天气，或者问你私人问题。想不和这些人讲话都很难，你可能要和他們讲到飞机降落为止。

Nervous Guys

These are the people with white faces who sit down and immediately ask for something to drink. Every five minutes they call a flight attendant5 to ask if there are some problems with the plane. They also tell you about air accidents. The best thing to do is to pretend6 to sleep.

胆小鬼

这些人脸色苍白，一坐下来，就要喝水，每隔五分钟，他们就问乘务员飞机是否有问题。他们也给你讲有关空难的事儿。最好的办法是假装睡觉。

Space Takers

These people are not very big. But they have a terrible habit of taking up all their room， and some of your room， too. They usually sit with their arms and legs in your space.

霸占王

这些人身材不大，但是他们有很严重的霸占空间的习惯，包括你的空间。他们坐着时，手脚通常会霸占你的空间。
