English Original
A Boeing 747 was flying through the night sky over the Pacific Ocean. The captain's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has malfunctioned. As a result, we will arrive in Tokyo approximately one hour late."
After a short while, the loudspeaker crackled to life again: "Everyone, a second engine out of our four has now failed. Consequently, our estimated arrival in Tokyo will be delayed by three hours." At this point, the passengers began to stir with unease. Someone muttered, "If another engine goes down, we'll be up here all night."
Moreover, one fellow became unbearably agitated and started shouting, "I've had enough! I won't fly on this awful plane anymore. Let me off right now!"

一架波音747正飞行在太平洋的夜空中。机长的声音从广播中传来:“女士们先生们,我们的一个引擎发生了故障。因此,我们抵达东京的时间将推迟大约一小时。”
过了一会儿,广播再次响起:“各位,我们四个引擎中的第二个引擎现在也失效了。因此,我们预计抵达东京的时间将延迟三小时。”此时,乘客们开始不安地骚动起来。有人低声抱怨:“要是再坏一个引擎,我们得在天上待一整夜了。”
此外,一个家伙变得异常焦躁,开始大喊:“我受够了!我再也不坐这架破飞机了。现在就让我下去!”
