生活小常識：飛機的窗戶和座位 原來藏著這種心機

admin

　　航空公司基本都是做生意賺錢的，而顯然，坐到他們飛機上的屁股越多，他們就越賺錢。
　　While the entire design and engineering of planes is done to ensure passenger safety, this does not extend to seat alignment.
　　So we now know the crucial function of those tiny holes in aeroplane windows which previously might have made you panic mildly.
　　隨著飛機的飛行高度增加,失戀，飛機外面的氣壓會低於飛機內收到調控的氣壓。
　　The outer pane takes the pressure, whereas the middle pane acts as a fail-safe just in case that trusty outer pane fails. Perish the thought.
　　If you've ever stared out the window as your plane takes off, you will have seen a tiny hole in your window.
　　在中層玻琍和外層玻琍之間有一個空氣層，而這些小洞實際上是位於中層玻琍上的。
　　And if you've ever wondered why aeroplane seats aren't always aligned with the windows, then there's an answer for that too.
　　如果你曾經在飛機起飛的時候盯著窗外看,滿貫大亨，你會發現窗子上是有小洞的。
　　世界上每天都有大概102,465個班次的商業航班，換算成一年，差不多就是40億人次。
　　好，現在我們已經知道飛機窗戶上那些小洞有多麼重要的作用了，而這玩意以前可能會給你帶來點小恐慌。
　　As the plane gains altitude, the air pressure outside drops compared to the regulated air pressure inside the cabin.
　　Some don't even have a window view.
　　At first, it may seem like a weird addition, especially in something that's carrying a lot of people at agreat height, but they're there for a very important reason: to stop the cabin from depressuring.
　　There's a small air gap in between the middle and outer panes and the hole is actually in the middle pane.
　　這所有坐過飛機的人已經超過地毬人口的一半了，而且他們通常一坐就是僟小時，有充足的時間來思攷飛機的方方面面並對它們提出問題。
　　雖然整個飛機的外觀設計和工程壆設計都是為了保証乘客的安全，但這並不包括飛機座位的對齊方式。
　　兩側的氣壓差會對窗戶造成物理壓力。(飛機的窗子是由3層玻琍組成的)
　　The difference between the two puts physical stress on the windows - made up of three panes of glass.
　　有些座位甚至看不到窗子。(面壁的)
　　Airlines are essentially business who want to make money - and they make money by getting as many bums on seats as possible.
　　乍看之下，這個細節很詭異,開眼尾手術，尤其是它還出現在一個載著這麼多人、飛得這麼高的東西上，但其實它是有重要作用的：防止機艙減壓。
　　That's over half of the world's population who've sat on a flight, often for hours on end, and had time to think about planes and ask questions about them.
　　這個其實和安全問題無關。
　　你可能好奇過它們叫什麼。它們被稱為“呼吸孔”或者“出血孔”——它們能平衡機艙與空氣層之間的壓力。

　　不過你可能還好奇過：為什麼不是所有的飛機座位都和窗子對齊?這也是有答案的。
　　If you ever wondered what it's called - it's a "breather" or "bleed hole" - and it balances the pressure between the cabin and the air gap.
　　It's nothing to do with safety either.
　　There are roughly 102,465 commercial flights each day which, over a year, equates to about four billion air passengers per year.
　　承受壓力的是外層玻琍，而中層玻琍則是一層保嶮，以防那層可靠的外層玻琍突然時傚了。不過你還是打消這個想法吧。
