2--If was very interesting.
1--How did you start?
2--Well, the instructor showed me the controls.

   we went for a short flight.
1--Were you nervous when you took over the
   controls for the first time?
2--Yes, very. My hands were trembling.
1--Did you have any moments of panic?
2--Yes, when the glider was rushing towards the
   ground and I suddenly forgot what to do.

2--非常有意思。
1--你是怎么开始的?
2--哦,教员告诉我哪些是操纵器。
1--然后呢?
2--教员给我示范如何使用这些操纵器。接着我们就飞了
一小段距离。
1--当你第一次进行操纵的时候,你紧张不紧张?
2--非常紧张。我的双手都哆嗦了。
1--你有感到惊慌失措的时候吗?
2--有。当滑翔机朝地面俯冲去的时候,我简直不知所措了。
1--那一定让人胆战心惊。
