【課文】

When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing. No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he found. A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of woolen goods. He was so surprised at being discovered that he did not even try to run away. After he was arrested, the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had a long and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over eighteen hours. The man was ordered to pay $3,500 for the cost of the trip. The normal price of a ticket is $2,000!

當一架從倫敦起飛的飛機抵達悉尼機場時，工作人員開始卸載裝有衣物的多個木箱。沒有人能說清其中一個箱子為何異常沉重。突然，一名工作人員想到要打開這個箱子。他被箱內(nèi)的景象驚呆了。一個男人正躺在羊毛制品堆上，藏在箱子里。他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被發(fā)現(xiàn)后驚訝不已，甚至都沒有試圖逃跑。被捕后，該男子承認是在飛機離開倫敦前就藏在了箱子里。他的旅程漫長而難受，因為他被禁閉在木箱里超過了18個小時。該男子被勒令支付3500美元的旅行費用。而一張正常的機票價格是2000美元！
