1、Skimming Check () the true statements. Answer: The true statements are 5, 6 and 7.一个月前,我安全地将1549号航班停在了哈得孙河。从某种意义上讲,这是其中容易的那部分。事发当晚,我们在确保机上所有155名乘客的下落后,离开了医院,终于到了宾馆,是飞行员联合会及纽约市警察局的人送我们来的。我记得自己当时想要的非常简单。我弄丢了所有的随身物品;我度过了生命中最痛苦的三分钟。我想要的只是与家人说话和几双干袜子。Translation原文我想要的只是与家人说话和几双干袜子这离我驾驶美国航空1549号航班紧急迫降在哈得孙
2、河已过去一个月了。Translation原文自那以后,人们显然对我和我的机组成员表示出极大的关注,每个人都想把功臣的数量限制在五人以下,我试着反抗,却没有成功。但我仍然不认为自己是个名人。要适应这种生活是件难事,最初是因为给我披上的“英雄”这件外衣。很长时间以来我都觉得这个词用得不恰当。Translation原文正如我的妻子洛丽在60分钟时事杂志里所说的,英雄是那种下决心冲入着火的大楼的人。而这个不一样,这种情况是我们不得不面对的。我无法选择我当时要做的。这就是为什么最初我决定如果有人要送我礼物表示感谢的话,我得心怀感激地收下,但收下后也不会据为己有。Translation原文但是,随着时间的
3、推移,我能更好地正确看待每件事并意识到这件事对人们生活的影响,他们是多么希望得到好消息,他们是多么想再一次看到希望。一部分原因是因为这件事发生在总统换届时。我们经历了全球性的经济下滑,人们感到迷惑、害怕所以非常盼望有好消息。我想,他们想吃定心丸,想确定所有我们珍惜的事物、我们的理想依然存在,并且会一直在那儿,虽然并不总是那么明显。Translation原文 在我很小的时候,父亲让我深深懂得一个指挥官要对他属下的每个人的利益负责。如果一个指挥官因为没有远见或判断错误而使他手下的人受到伤害,那他就犯了不可原谅的罪。我的父亲是一名海军牙医,1941-1945年期间在夏威夷和圣地亚哥服役。虽然他从未亲
4、眼目睹过战争,但他认识很多亲临战场的人。在部队时你会被反复灌输这种思想:你要对每个人各方面的利益负责。 Translation原文在飞行的每一分钟里,我都有自信去解决下一个问题。我的大副杰夫斯基尔斯和我做了飞行员应该做的事:按照所接受的培训和我们的人生理念行事。我们珍惜飞机上的每个生命并且知道我们的责任是努力挽救每个生命,尽管我们的飞机突然发生了全盘故障,我们也从未放弃。因为有计划所以我们的希望一直存在。Translation原文或许,可以以类似的方式提醒那些个人生活遭受危机的人,他们也许被炒鱿鱼了,也许被取消了赎回权:不管情况有多糟糕或你处理危机的时间有多短,采取下一步行动永远是可能的。即使
5、是在最危急的情况下也总是有解决的办法。你肯定能渡过难关。Translation原文尽管我们的结果很成功,但喜欢假设是人类的天性:如果会怎么样。在最初的几个晚上,我无法入睡,常常会后怕。要让我什么也不想尽快入睡太难了。有时我不愿意去想,但我无法不想。那是我们的机组人员都曾经感受过的创伤后压力的一部分,我们曾相互倾诉。Translation原文 有趣的是,在事后的头两个星期,杰夫一直跟我说:“我只想回到以前的生活。”但前几天,他终于说道,这也是第一次:“你知道,现在挺好的。我在学习喜欢现在的生活。这很好。”我想他开始慢慢适应了所发生的一切。他意识到他应该受到关注,他也可以继续做真实的自己,接受关注
6、并不意味着出卖自己。Translation原文 除了乘客泉涌般的支持,我所感受到的最动人的情感来自于其他飞行员。他们告诉我因为航空行业及从业人员所遭受的连年经济困难及对此行业日益减少的尊重,他们不再为上班而自豪了有些人已经这样好几十年了。Translation原文现在,他们告诉我,他们又感到自豪了。他们为此感谢我。他们感谢我们,感谢所有的机组成员,因为我们提醒了人们我们每天都在做什么,什么是真正的危险。他们觉得他们又赢回了失去的尊敬。 Translation原文 下一步怎么办呢?我将继续为我的航空公司飞行在我准备好的时候。我不确定那会是什么时候。可能是几个月后吧。我还是没有多少个夜晚能在家里度
7、过。我的家人及我自己都努力做真实的自己而不让此事改变我们,但这也是一个艰难的学习过程。并且我们下定决心尽一切努力从中取得完美的结果。Translation原文Unfamiliar Words Match the words and expressions with their meanings in the context of the passage.1 account for (a) to give an explanation for something (b) to know where someone or something is 2 perspective (a) viewpoi
