美国俚语:flightmare 不愉快的飞行旅途
英语课
至今仍清楚记得上次做飞机出行的惨痛经历，在机场弄丢了身份证，误了航班，连票也废了。这样的flightmare你经历过吗？
Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'.
flightmare（航班噩梦）指不愉快的飞行旅途，这个词是flight（航班）和nightmare（噩梦）的合成词。
Flightmares go well beyond the usual perils 1 of airline travel such as crowded seats, lost luggage and food not fit for a dog. A flightmare usually involves lost money, lost opportunities (such as missing a graduation or a funeral) and lost dignity.
“航班噩梦”所指的并不是飞行途中所遇到的座位拥挤、行李丢失及食物不佳等平常的问题，而是诸如钱财丢失、机会错失（错过毕业典礼或亲人葬礼）以及尊严丧失等严重的意外事件。
