最近一段时间,因为航班延误等原因,国内好多机场都发生了一些冲突事件,部分乘客大闹候机大厅或与工作人员发生争吵。国外媒体在报道这些事件的时候都使用了一个词air rage。
Air rage is the general term for disruptive and/or violent behavior perpetrated by passengers and crew of aircraft, typically during flight. The first case of air rage was recorded in 1947 on a flight from Havana to Miami, when a drunk man assaulted another passenger and bit a flight attendant. More recently, it has also defined disruptive attitude inside airport terminals.
空怒(air rage)是飞机飞行期间,乘客和空乘人员引发的捣乱或暴力行为统称。第一例有纪录的空怒事件发生在1947年,在一架由哈瓦那飞往迈阿密的飞机上,一位醉酒乘客袭击了另一位乘客并咬伤了一名空乘人员。最近一段时间,空怒也被用来形容发生在机场的捣乱破坏行为。
