电影夜：战狼+航空公司的座位

今天太原的小毛老师又请我们去看电影了！

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。

今天的句子：

If you’re convinced your plane seat gets smaller with each vacation, that your cramped knees and crushed hips are not just a function of your expanding girth, that you’re being gradually and intentionally squished bit-by-bit like a slowly boiled frog as airlines cram ever more chairs into their fuselages at the expense of the people between them, then — good news!

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！

明天的句子：

In the past, decisions on the location of agencies have been made behind closed doors, and prompted huge arguments resolved only through trades and stitch-ups. This time, however, member states have devised clear rules for the competition, in an attempt to avoid a desperate squabble among the EU27 at the same time as the Brexit negotiations.
