1、Skimming Check()the true statements.Answer:The true statements are 5,6 and 7.第1页一个月前,我安全地将1549号航班停在了哈得孙河。从某种意义上讲,这是其中轻易那部分。事发当晚,我们在确保机上全部155名乘客下落后,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人送我们来。我记得自己当初想要非常简单。我弄丢了全部随身物品;我度过了生命中最痛苦三分钟。我想要只是与家人说话和几双干袜子。TranslationTranslation原文原文我想要只是与家人说话和几双干袜子我想要只是与家人说话和几双干袜子第2页这离我
2、驾驶美国航空1549号航班紧紧迫降在哈得孙河已过去一个月了。TranslationTranslation原文原文第3页自那以后,人们显然对我和我机组组员表示出极大关注,每个人都想把功臣数量限制在五人以下,我试着反抗,却没有成功。但我依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“英雄”这件外衣。很长时间以来我都以为这个词用得不恰当。TranslationTranslation原文原文第4页正如我妻子洛丽在60分钟时事杂志里所说,英雄是那种下决心冲入着火大楼人。而这个不一样,这种情况是我们不得不面正确。我无法选择我当初要做。这就是为何最初我决定假如有些人要送我礼品表示感激话,
3、我得心怀感激地收下,但收下后也不会据为己有。TranslationTranslation原文原文第5页不过,伴随时间推移,我能更加好地正确对待每件事并意识到这件事对人们生活影响,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到时。我们经历了全球性经济下滑,人们感到迷惑、害怕所以非常期望有好消息。我想,他们想吃定心丸,想确定全部我们珍惜事物、我们理想依然存在,而且会一直在那儿,即使并不总是那么显著。TranslationTranslation原文原文第6页 在我很小时候,父亲让我深深知道一个指挥官要对他属下每个人利益负责。假如一个指挥官因为没有远见或判断
4、错误而使他手下人受到伤害,那他就犯了不可原谅罪。我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。即使他从未亲眼目睹过战争,但他认识很多亲临战场人。在部队时你会被重复灌输这种思想:你要对每个人各方面利益负责。TranslationTranslation原文原文第7页在飞行每一分钟里,我都有自信去处理下一个问题。我大副杰夫斯基尔斯和我做了飞行员应该做事:按照所接收培训和我们人生理念行事。我们珍惜飞机上每个生命而且知道我们责任是努力挽救每个生命,尽管我们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希望一直存在。TranslationTranslation原文原文第
5、8页或许,能够以类似方式提醒那些个人生活遭受危机人,他们可能被炒鱿鱼了,可能被取消了赎回权:不论情况有多糟糕或你处理危机时间有多短,采取下一步行动永远是可能。即使是在最危急情况下也总是有处理方法。你必定能渡过难关。TranslationTranslation原文原文第9页尽管我们结果很成功,但喜欢假设是人类天性:假如会怎么样。在最初几个晚上,我无法入睡,经常会后怕。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。那是我们机组人员都曾经感受过创伤后压力一部分,我们曾相互倾诉。TranslationTranslation原文原文第10页 有趣是,在事后头两个星期,杰夫一直跟我说:“
6、我只想回到以前生活。”但前几天,他终于说道,这也是第一次:“你知道,现在挺好。我在学习喜欢现在生活。这很好。”我想他开始慢慢适应了所发生一切。他意识到他应该受到关注,他也能够继续做真实自己,接收关注并不意味着出卖自己。TranslationTranslation原文原文第11页 除了乘客泉涌般支持,我所感受到最感人情感来自于其它飞行员。他们告诉我因为航空行业及从业人员所遭受连年经济困难及对此行业日益降低尊重,他们不再为上班而自豪了有些人已经这么好几十年了。TranslationTranslation原文原文第12页现在,他们告诉我,他们又感到自豪了。他们为此感激我。他们感激我们,感激全部机组组
7、员,因为我们提醒了人们我们天天都在做什么,什么是真正危险。他们以为他们又赢回了失去尊敬。TranslationTranslation原文原文第13页 下一步怎么办呢?我将继续为我航空企业飞行在我准备好时候。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过。我家人及我自己都努力做真实自己而不让此事改变我们,但这也是一个艰难学习过程。而且我们下定决心尽一切努力从中取得完美结果。TranslationTranslation原文原文第14页Unfamiliar WordsUnfamiliar Words Match the words and expressions with
