LOOKING out from a window seat in the midsection of an airliner, you can see clearly that the wing is made up of many moving parts.(如果您乘坐的一架航班的座位正好位于客艙中段的靠窗位置，抬頭向外觀望，您就可以清楚地看到，機翼是由許多可以運動的部件所組成。)

The airliner crash is seen as merely the tip of an iceberg.(這次飛機墜落被看作僅僅是冰山一角（只是其中的一個例子）。)

The damage to skill and craftsmanship—that's needed to build a complex airliner or a tractor, or for a worker to move up from assembler to machinist to supervisor—went largely unnoticed.(對技術和工藝的損害——制造一架復雜的飛機或拖拉機，或工人從裝配工到機械師再到監督員所需要的技術和工藝——在很大程度上被忽視了。)

The airliner is late.(班機晚點了。)

Just 1kg less per seat can save some 40,000 litres of fuel per airliner over a year.(如果每個座位減少1公斤的重量，每個客機就可以在一年的時間里節約4萬升的燃料。)

An airliner came close to disaster while approaching Kennedy Airport.(一架客機在飛近肯尼迪機場時險些出事。)

The researchers at Filton have a much bigger ambition: to print the entire wing of an airliner.(菲爾頓的研究者有一個更遠大的抱負：印制客機的整翼。)

Chesley B. Sullenberger III, the pilot who successfully landed an airliner in the Hudson River, was, everyone agreed, a hero.(每個人都同意將成功使飛機迫降在哈德遜河上的機長切斯利·b·蘇倫伯格稱之為英雄。)

He said there were "powerful" tropical storms in the area where the airliner disappeared from radar screens.(他說，飛機失去聯系時所處的位置有著“強大的”熱帶風暴。)

But with 840 firm orders even after a spate of cancellations, the 787 is still the fastest-selling new airliner in history.(但由于有840份公司訂單(甚至在一大批訂單取消后)，787仍然是歷史上銷售最快的新型客機。)
