Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow, water, or even on a ploughed field. Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places. Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
參考譯文
本.弗西特機長買了一輛不同尋常的'出租汽車,并開始了一項新的業(yè)務。這輛“出租汽車”是一架小型瑞士飛機,叫“皮勒特斯.波特“號。這架奇妙的飛機可以載7名乘客。然而,最令人驚奇的是它能夠在任何地方降落:雪地上,水面上,甚至剛耕過的田里。弗西特機長的第一名乘客是位醫(yī)生,他從伯明翰飛往威爾士山區(qū)一個偏僻的村莊。從那時開始,弗西特機長已經(jīng)載送乘客到過許多不尋常的地方。一次,他把飛機降落在了一棟公寓樓的屋頂上;還有一次,降落在了一個廢棄的停車場上。弗西特機長剛剛拒絕了一位商人的奇怪要求。這個人想要飛往大西洋上的一個孤島 -- 羅卡爾島,弗西特機長之所以不送他去,是因為那段飛行太危險了。
