Pilot
As our plane touched down on the runway, its landing gear caught fire. Because the fire was near the engines, we exited the aircraft using emergency protocol. I found myself in a group of stunned passengers, huddled on the pavement, wondering about the fate of our luggage.
A man standing next to me was staring wide-eyed, watching the firemen who were busy extinguishing the flames. “Wom”, he said, “this is the first time that has happened to me!”
“ I know what you mean,” I commented. ” I fly all the time in my line of work.”
“ so do I,” he replied.
“What do you do?” I asked.
He grinned sheepishly said,” “I am the pilot.”
飞行员
当我们的飞机擦着跑道时，它的起落架起火了，因为火靠近发动机的部位，我们使用紧急出口撤出飞机，我发现自己在一群惊呆的旅客之中，聚挤在走道上，心中惴测着我们的行李的命运。
一个站在我旁边的人正睁大眼睛看着消防队员忙着扑灭火焰。“哇，”他说，“这是我平生遇到的第一次。”
“我明白您的意思，”我称许地说：“干我这行已让我飞了一辈子了。”“我也是，”他答道。
“您是做什么的？“我。
他腼腆地咧嘴笑了笑，说道：“我是个飞行员。“
