33. Airplanes Are Safer Than Cars 飞机比汽车安全

Donald Campbell needed to go to New York. He lived in Los Angeles. Driving there would take three days. His only other option was to take an airplane. That would take around six hours. Donald was afraid of airplanes. He had never been on one. "That's a dumb fear," said his friend. "Cars are more dangerous than airplanes." Donald was sure this was a lie. He didn't trust something so big in the air. Donald ignored his friend. He was going to drive for three days. Halfway through the trip, Donald got very sleepy. He was on a highway. He crashed into a giant trailer.

唐纳德·坎贝尔需要去纽约。他住在洛杉矶。开车去那里要花三天时间。他唯一的选择是坐飞机。那大约需要六个小时。唐纳德害怕飞机。他从来没有上过一次。“这是一种愚蠢的恐惧，”他的朋友说。“汽车比飞机更危险。”唐纳德确信这是一个谎言。他不相信空中这么大的东西。唐纳德不理睬他的朋友。他打算开车三天。旅行中途，唐纳德很困。他在高速公路上。他撞上了一辆巨大的拖车。
