Why did the plane turn back?
英式发音:
美式发音:
I used to travel by air a great deal when 1 was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. A flight attendant would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to travelling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, a flight attendant told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.

Notes on the text 课文注释
1 take charge of me, 照顾我。
2 I am used to travelling by air, 我现在乘飞机出门旅行已经习惯了。
be used to doing sth. 是“习惯于做某事”,后接名词、代词、动名词。
3 only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened, 只有一次把我吓坏了。这是一句倒装句,即have放在主语之前。如果only加上一个状语放在句首,那么就要用倒装语序。
4 take off, 起飞。
5 gain height, (飞机)爬高。
6 touch down, (飞机)着陆。
7 on board, 在……(如飞机)上。
参考译文
我在幼年的时候,曾多次乘飞机旅行。我的父母曾经住在南美洲,所以假期里我常从欧洲乘飞机到他们那里。我总是由一位空中乘务员照管,从未遇到过不愉快的经厉。我习惯了乘飞机旅行,只是有一次把我吓坏了。起飞之后,我们在城市上空低低地飞行,然后慢慢爬高。这时飞机突然调转头来,飞回了机场。在我们等待降落时,一位空中乘务员告诉我们要保持镇静,待飞机一着陆,就马上不声不响地离开飞机。飞机上的人都很着急,大家都急于想知道究竟出了什么事。后来我们才得知,飞机上坐了一位非常重要的人物。有人报告警察,说飞机上安放了一枚炸弹。我们降落之后,飞机被彻底搜查了一遍。幸运的是,什么也没有找到。5个小时后,我们又起飞了。
自学导读
1. A flight attendant would take charge of me…我总是由一位空
中乘务员照管……
would表示过去经常发生的事,它与 used to的区别参见第55 课语法。 take charge(of)为固定短语,表示“接管”、“开始管
理”等:
She took charge of the child after his parents died.
孩子的父母去世后,她接管了那孩子。
The new manager will take charge (of the company) from next week.
新经理从下星期开始管理公司。
2.…only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.……只是有
一次把我吓坏了。
这是一个倒装句。倒装句的结构为“副词+助动词(be, do, have, can, must等)+主语+句子的其余部分”。它通常用来加强语气,是典型的正式修辞和正式文体。用倒装句的情况包括:
(1)句首为否定或近似否定的副词(never, rarely, little, on no occasion, hardly, no sooner…than等):

On no occasion must you accept any money if he offers it.

No sooner had he returned than he bought a house and went to live there.
他刚一回来便买下了一幢房子住了进去。
(2)句首为only构成的词组(如 only after, only then等):
Only then did I realize what a mistake I have made.
只是到了那时我才意识到我犯了个什么错误。
Only after she had taken off her coat and hat could I recognize her.
只有在她脱掉大衣和摘下帽子以后我才认出了她。
3. gain height,(飞机)增加高度,爬高。
gain在这里为及物动词,表示“增加”:
The car gained speed when it was outside the town. 汽车驶出城区后便加快了速度。

他体重增加得太多了,便决定节食。
4.touch down,(飞机)着陆,降落。
After eight hours, the plane touched down at New York airport.
8小时之后,飞机在纽约机场着陆。
Don't stand up before the plane has touched down.
飞机着陆前不要站起来。
5. Everybody on board was worried …飞机上的人都很着急……
固定短语on board表示“搭乘(船、飞机、火车、汽车等)”、“在
(船、飞机、火车、汽车等)上”:
Tom has never been on board a plane before.
汤姆以前从没有乘过飞机。
There was a very important person on board(the ship).
那条船上有一位非常重要的人物。
