Unit 15 Shane Files solo
第15单元 夏恩一个人坐飞机
Shane's mother filled his backpack with books, and toys. He was only six years old and he was flying half way across the country all by himself. When Shane was two his parents got a divorce and since then they've had shared custody. This year Shane's dad had moved to Washington, so Shane was flying out to meet him. His dad would be there at the airport to pick him up.
夏恩的妈妈把书本和玩具塞进夏恩的背包里。夏恩今年才六岁,正一个人坐着国内班机,目前还在半路上。夏恩两岁时父母就离婚了,从那时起两个人便共同拥有对夏恩的监护权。由于夏恩的爸爸今年搬到华盛顿,所以夏恩要坐飞机去看他。他爸爸会在机场等着接他。
His mother drove him out to the airport and walked him to the check out gate. She gave him a big hug and asked the flight attendant to take good care of him.
他妈妈开车送他到机场,陪他走到出境大门那里。她用力拥抱了他一下,并请空服员对他多加照顾。
Inside the plane Shane explored everything. The flight attendant gave him earphones to watch movies. They gave him as much Coke as he wanted and at dinnertime he asked for two desserts.
夏恩在飞机上东摸西摸,看到什么都很好奇。空服员给他耳机看电影,他想喝多少可乐也都让他喝,晚餐时他还要了两份甜点。
He watched the movie and then pressed his nose to the window as the landscape passed beneath him. Soon, he felt asleep. When he woke up he had arrived and the flight attendant had carried him out to where his father was waiting. Shane couldn't wait to tell his dad all about his trip.
他看完电影后,便把鼻子贴在窗户上,看着下面经过的景色,接着很快就睡着了。等他醒来时飞机已经抵达目的地了,空服员便带他到他爸爸等他的地方。夏恩迫不及待要告诉他爸爸旅行时所发生的一切。
