現(xiàn)在許多人愿意乘飛機(jī)旅行。隨著我國民航事業(yè)的迅速發(fā)展，全國各大城市興建了許多現(xiàn)代化的機(jī)場。乘飛機(jī)旅行有許多長處(方便、快捷、省時(shí)、舒適等); 但是，空中旅行也有許多不足之處(機(jī)票價(jià)格貴，有的旅客不適應(yīng)空中旅行，常常感到身體不適，甚至有人還擔(dān)心發(fā)生空難)。請(qǐng)你簡單闡述上述兩個(gè)方面。最后請(qǐng)你說明你的看法。
Many people prefer to travel by air. This is because air travel has some advantages. In the first place, airplane, the miracle created by man, is the fastest means of transport. It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Secondly, traveling by air is convenient and comfortable. Friendly air hostesses are affectionate and considerate. They look after passengers all the way to their destinations. Moreover, on long distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves.
As a popular saying goes, “Everything has two sides.” The same is true of air travel. It has some disadvantages, too. For one thing, air travel costs a great deal. The average Chinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares. So they prefer to take trains, which save a lot of money. For another, although passengers are assured of their safety, they are still worried about it during the journey because flying always involves more or less risk.
As far as I am concerned, the advantages mentioned above exceed the disadvantages. If I were given choice between travelling by air and travelling by train, I would certainly prefer the former. For me, time is money and it is the most important thing I have to take into consideration whatever I do.
