参考译文:
如果你确信每次休假飞机座位都会变得更小,确信你感觉束手束脚、臀部被卡不仅仅是因为肚子越来越大,确信航空公司牺牲乘客的利益,把日益增多的座位塞进机舱,而你就像温水煮青蛙一样正一步步地被有意挤扁,那么—好消息来了!
A federal court agrees that this is indeed happening, and may be a problem or even a danger to life and pretzeled limb.
后面一句解释了为什么好消息来了!法院站在了乘客这一边!
背景介绍:
美国一联邦法院近日公布判决,认为航空公司的确在缩小乘客空间,这个问题还可能造成生命危险或肢体损伤。华盛顿上诉法庭的法官Patricia Millett的这份裁决可谓是言辞激烈,她指责联邦航空局的证据空洞得和蒸汽一样。联邦航空局想证明空间变小并不会造成问题,因为他们的报告显示乘客不可能形成血栓,所谓腿脚麻木只是主观感受。女法官虽然同意血栓和空间变小没有直接联系,但联邦航空局的说法完全无视现实,违背了“基本的物理学”。联邦航空局被要求对座位和空间重新审查和整改。
