Lesson 29 Taxi! 出租汽车 Does Captain Fawcett think any trip is too dangerous? 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 Fawcetts 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. 参考译文 本.弗西特机长买了一辆不同寻常的出租汽车，并开始了一项新的业务。这辆“出租汽车”是一架小型瑞士飞机，叫“皮勒特斯.波特“号。这架奇妙的飞机可以载7名乘客。然而，最令人惊奇的是它能够在任何地方降落：雪地上，水面上，甚至刚耕过的田里。弗西特机长的第一名乘客是位医生，他从伯明翰飞往威尔士山区一个偏僻的村庄。从那时开始，弗西特机长已经载送乘客到过许多不寻常的地方。一次，他把飞机降落在了一栋公寓楼的屋顶上；还有一次，降落在了一个废弃的停车场上。弗西特机长刚刚拒绝了一位商人的奇怪要求。这个人想要飞往大西洋上的一个孤岛 -- 罗卡尔岛，弗西特机长之所以不送他去，是因为那段飞行太危险了。 【New words and expressions】（10）1 taxi[t?ksi] n.出租汽车 2 Pilatus Porter皮勒特斯·波特(飞机机名) 3 land[l?nd] v.着陆 4 plough[plau] v.耕地 5 lonely[l?unli] a.偏僻的， 6 Welsh[wel?] a.威尔士的 7 roof[ru:f] n.楼顶 8 block[bl?k] n.一座大楼 9 flat[fl?t] n.公寓房 10 desert [dez?t] v.废弃 一．单词讲解： taxi???n.?出租车 take a taxi to…?????打的去… cab [k?b] n.出租车；(公共汽车、火车等的)司机室, 驾驶室；出租马车(Am) by taxi??????by cab taxi stand??出租车站（美） taxi driver=cab driver land 1) n.
