英國一乘客在阿聯酋航空客機上半裸抽菸還喝酒
A British man aboard an Emirates flight from Manchester to Dubai was restrained by airline staff last week after lighting a cigarette while intoxicated.
上週，一名英國男子乘坐阿聯酋航空客機從曼徹斯特飛往迪拜，他爛醉如泥，還在飛機上抽菸，最終被空服人員所控制。A witness told the Manchester Evening News that the man, in his early fifties, had been drank steadily in the hours between take-off.
一位現場目擊者接受《曼徹斯特晚報》採訪時表示，該男子50歲出頭，在飛機起飛後不久就喝的爛醉如泥。"This guy was a drunken buffoon," the witness said. "Everybody was disgusted. I fly 150,000 miles a year and have never seen anyone light up on a plane."
這位目擊者說，"這傢伙是個酒鬼，人人都避之唯恐不及。我每年飛行15萬英里，從來沒見到有人在飛機上抽菸。"
"This has really hacked me off. These kinds of people need restricting from travelling because they are a nuisance. He was basically hammered. Lairy, chatting up a woman across from him. He had a very loud Manchester accent."
"這真讓我惱火。這種人如此討厭，他們應當被限制旅行。他喝得大醉。非常低俗的與鄰座的一位女士搭訕。他有一口很濃的曼徹斯特口音。""He was at the bar for ages and then at one point I came back from the toilet and he was in his seat with his shirt off. Who does that on a flight?"
"估計他在酒吧裏玩了很久。我去上洗手間回來時，看見他在座位上把襯衫都脫了。誰會在飛機上那樣做呢？""Then there was smoke in the cabin after the captain announced we were landing. I imagine this guy is still stuck in the Middle East, I imagine he will have been banned by Emirates and I doubt another carrier would take him."
"當機長廣播說我們將要降落時，他又在機艙裏抽起煙來。我估計，他到了迪拜也還醉的無法清醒。我想阿聯酋應該不會允許他入境，我甚至懷疑都沒有航空公司願意載他。"After the plane landed at Dubai the man was surrounded by five crew members.
在飛機於迪拜降落後，五名工作人員圍住了他。Witnesses say he initially denied having smoked a cigarette, later insisting he had "forgotten he was on a plane" and the he would "have a chat with the captain to apologise".
目擊者表示，一開始該男子不承認自己在飛機上抽菸了，後來，他又改口堅稱"忘記自己在飛機上"，希望能"與機長溝通向其道歉"。A spokesman for the airline said: "Emirates can confirm that on flight EK020 from Manchester to Dubai on 9 December, an intoxicated passenger had to be restrained by cabin crew. The aircraft was met by security upon landing at Dubai airport. The safety of our passengers and crew is of utmost importance and will not be compromised."
阿聯酋航空的一名發言人表示："我們確認12月9日從曼徹斯特飛住迪拜的EK020航班上，有一名醉漢乘客被機組控制。客機現在已安全着陸迪拜機場。旅客和機組人員的安全是至關重要的，這不容妥協。"
