　　坐飞机您难受吗？常用旅游英语会话带您聊一聊坐飞机的感受。

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

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