and

uncomfortable

既昂贵又受罪

When

a

plane

from

London

arrived

at

Sydney

airport,

workers

began

to

unload

a

number

of

wooden

boxes

which

contained

clothing.

No

one

could

account

for

the

fact

that

one

of

the

boxes

was

extremely

heavy.

It

suddenly

occurred

to

one

of

the

workers

to

open

up

the

box.

He

was

astonished

at

what

he

found.

A

man

was

lying

in

the

box

on

top

of

a

pile

of

woolen

goods.

He

was

so

surprised

at

being

discovered

that

he

did

not

even

try

to

run

away.

After

he

was

arrested,

the

man

admitted

hiding

in

the

box

before

the

plane

left

London.

He

had

had

a

long

and

uncomfortable

trip,

for

he

had

been

confined

to

the

wooden

box

for

overeighteen

hours.

The

man

was

ordered

to

pay

$3,500

for

the

cost

of

the

trip.

The

normal

price

of

a

ticket

is

$2,000!

参考译文

当一架来自伦敦的飞机抵达悉尼机场时,

工人们开始卸下装有服装的一批木箱.

其中有只箱子特别重,

可谁也弄不清是怎么回事.

突然一个工人想到打开箱子看看.

看到的情景使吃惊,

箱内有一个人正躺在一堆毛织品之上.

他由于被人发现而感到非常吃惊,

甚至都没有企图逃跑.

此人被逮捕后,

承认他是在飞机离开伦敦前躲进箱里的.

他经历了一次漫长而又难受的旅程,

因为他在那木箱里闷了18个多小时.

此人被责令交付旅费3,500英镑,

而正常票价是2,000英镑!
