英语大赢家 下册 185.Scene 7.Topic 1时差和气压 Jet Lag and Pressure

 Flight attendant¹: What's the matter, sir? You look pale.

 

Benjamin: I feel dizzy and weak. And I'm having this pain in my ear. I think I am sick.

 

Flight attendant: Are you often traveling by plane?

 

Benjamin: No, this is the second time.

 

Flight attendant: That's right. It's normal if you don't often take the plane. Just relax a little bit.

 

Benjamin: Why this happens to me when I am on the plane? I feel bad.

 

Flight attendant: Don't worry, sir. It's just because of the lower pressure.

 

Benjamin: What should I do about it?

 

Flight attendant: You may feel much better if you chew some gum² or peanuts.

 

Benjamin: OK, thanks. Does it work really? I'll give a try.

 

Flight attendant: Are you feeling better now? Do you need some pills?

 

Benjamin: Much better. Thank you. I just feel tired but I can't fall asleep.

 

Flight attendant: So, you'd better wear this eyeshade and you will sleep well.

 

Benjamin: I am not used to wearing that. Thanks.

 

Flight attendant: If you try to adapt yourself to your destination's local time, you'll feel more comfortable. So please try to sleep, and have meals according to Los Angeles's time.

 

Benjamin: Thank you so much.

 

Flight attendant: You are welcome. Please press the button when you need any help.
