Everything is not what it appears to be 眼见不一定为实

Subject: Everything is not what it appears to be
眼见不一定为实

A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

某人搭乘飞机从西雅图飞往三藩市。但意想不到地,飞机在飞行途中改道飞往萨加门多。空服员解释说班机可能会延迟,如果有乘客暂时想下机,必须在50分钟内重新登机。

Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind. The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.

除了一位双目失明的妇人外,其余的乘客都下了机。有位男士在经过她时注意到这位失明的妇人,因为她的导盲犬在整个飞行途中都一直静静地躺在她的座位下。

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, "Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind lady replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."

他看得出她以前也乘搭过此班飞机,因为机师曾走向她并直呼她的名字,说:“凯蒂,你要不要下去走走以舒展一下你的双腿?我们会在萨加门多停留将近一个小时。”那位失明的妇人回答说:“不必了,谢谢。但我的导盲犬可能需要活动它的脚。”

Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses.

试想象一下:所有在闸门区的人抬头看见机师牵着导盲犬并还戴上太阳镜而全都愣住了。

People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

人们全都吓呆了,他们不仅设法换乘航班,并也尝试改换航空公司呢!

True story.... Have a great day and remember...
Everything is not what it appears to be

这是真实的故事。。。请记得,并与君分享、祝愿愉快。。。
事情并非如所见一斑。
