关于英语故事及翻译：Change altitude
改变高度
Rebecca had decided that her best chance of getting hired by a company doing geologicalsurvey work in the Alaskan wilderness was to earn a private license to fly twin-engine planes.
丽贝卡觉得，要想进入在阿拉斯加荒原做地质研究的公司，最好的方式就是拥有操纵双引擎飞机的私家执照。
A few days later she began taking lessons from a wise old bush pilot,highly respectedthroughout the region for his cool and collected ways of dealing with the worst possiblesituations.
几天后她便从师于一位年长而智慧的丛林飞行员。这位丛林飞行员一向以冷静和善于处理极端事件而在这一地区闻名。
After the mandatory ground schooling, at which Rebecca excelled, and during her fourthlesson in the sky,the flight instructor gave her what she thought was a special treat:
丽贝卡在地面控制训练方面做得十分出色。之后，在她第四堂空中飞行课上，飞行指挥员给了她一次她所认为的特殊待遇：
Taking his hands off the yoke, he turned the flight controls over to her.
他将全部飞行指挥权交给了她。
There she was, just as she haddreamed, sitting tall in the copilot's seat with the flight stick firmly in her hands.
于是，如同丽贝卡所梦寐以求的那样，她高高地坐在副驾驶的位置上，双手紧紧握着操纵杆。
Rebecca felt as though she was literally on cloud at least, until a scant moment later when shefound herself rudely awakened from her dream.
丽贝卡觉得自己至少已经升上云端了，但紧接着她便从梦幻中惊醒了。
In the distance, through the windshield, right in the path of the plane, and seeming to haveappeared out of nowhere, a huge snow-capped mountain lay dead ahead.
她从挡风玻璃里看见，就在飞机的航线里，远处一座白雪覆盖的大山不偏不倚地出现在正前方。
Transfixed by its sheer mass, Rebecca found herself as frozen at the stick as were the icedand craggy peaks stretched out before her.
丽贝卡完全被这座大山惊呆了，她感觉自己怔怔看着陡峭的冰山在眼前铺开，身体僵在操纵杆前动弹不得。
She was headed straight for them!
她正向群峰冲去!
All along the wise old instructor was watching her closely, studying her reactions.
整个过程中，那位年长睿智的驾驶员一直在仔细观察她的反应，
In fact, he had turned the controls over to her for just this test now taking place.
事实上，他让她操作驾驶，正是为了用眼前这一幕来进行测试。
He waited until the last moment he could, and was just about to take over again, when Rebeccasnapped out of her fear-induced trance.
他尽己所能地等待着，就在他准备重新掌控飞行时，丽贝卡结束了她那恐惧所致的精神恍惚。
Sir, said a voice so trembling and timid that it even scared her, Please take over the controls.
先生，她的声音颤抖着，几乎连她自己都吓到了。她嗫嚅着说：还是您来驾驶吧，
I'm afraid we are about to crash!
我怕我们快要撞上了!
His reply stunned her.
他的回答则令她震惊。
No, he spoke quietly, I don't think I will. After all, it's your flight.
不， 他十分平静，我不这么觉得。不管怎样，这是你的飞行。
Then what should I do? Please, tell me what to do! Rebecca said with a struggling to controlher voice.
那我应该怎样做?求求你，告诉我该怎么办!丽贝卡尽力克制着自己的声音。
She managed to look over at her instructor, and was surprised to see virtually no worry at allupon his face.
她专注地看着她的教练，十分惊异地发现他脸上居然没有半点焦虑恐慌。
His calm demeanor helped to steady her nerves.
他的镇定让她也平静了下来。
She took a deep breath and relaxed her hands that had just about choked the life out of thecontrol yoke.
她深吸一口气，那双关乎生命存亡的双手终于松了下来。
The next moment he gave her a short three-word instruction, and she knew everything wouldsoon be all right.
这时，他给了她一句简短的指令，然后她便知道一切都会好起来的。
He simply said, Change your altitude.
他只是简单说了句：改变你的高度。
Of course, her own mind echoed back to his command, and a split second later she pulledfirmly back on the yoke;the craft responded by rising, and mere moments later the icy peakpassed beneath her and out of sight.
当然了，她在意识里回应着他的指令，几秒钟之后她便牢牢拉回了操纵杆，飞机随之上攀，一会儿便飞过了冰雪覆盖的峰顶。
As Rebecca sat there, relieved by the results of her actions, she was struck by two things atonce:
丽贝卡坐了下来，她用自己的行为改变了结果，因而感到如释重负。这时，她意识到了两件事：
How could she have forgotten that the controls were in her hands, and at least as important,why had she been unable to remember this on her own?
第一，怎么能忘记控制权是在自己手中呢?第二点同样重要，为什么自己就想不起来这一点呢?
She could choose her own altitude.
她可以决定自己的高度。

It was a hot, muggy August afternoon, and I had every reason to feel sorry for myself.
那是一个潮湿闷热的下午，我完全有理由为自己掬一把同情之泪。
A comedy of hassles began with the normal airport security gauntlet, followed by a randomdrug test, and a missed flight home due to a number of mechanical, weather and late inboundflight problems.

During the usual pandemonium at the gate, I noticed a 5-year-old boy standing by his motherand watching me.
我发现一个五岁小男孩站在他母亲身边看着我。
He looked at me, then my bag, then back at me.
他开始小心翼翼地向我走来。
Cautiously, he left his mother’s side and slowly began to walk toward me, glancing between mybag, his mother and me.
视线在我，我的包和他妈妈之间游移。
Great, I thought, now I have to babysit a 5-year-old. My day is now complete.
好极了，我想。我还得照看一个五岁小孩。这一天算是全完了。
As he came closer, I was both relieved and alarmed that it wasn’t me he was after.
等他来到身边时，我先是松了口气，接着有点不安，因为他并不是冲着我来的。
It was my hat!
是我的帽子!
I started to tell him not to bother my things, but something made me stop and watch.
我想告诉他别动我的东西，可是不知为何却没有说出口，只是看着他。
He stopped in front of my bag, looking at my hat, then up at me.

With wide eyes, he gently touched the bill of my hat, running his index finger slowly along theedge, carefully touching the emblem.

他戴上我的帽子，跑去给他母亲看，然后回到我面前，乐得合不拢嘴。
With much reverence and ceremony, he slowly removed my hat with both hands andpresented it to me as though it were the crown jewels.

I put my hat on and gave him an airplane card.
我戴上帽子，给了他一张飞机卡。
This, too, he held with both hands in awe.
他充满敬畏地用双手捧着它。
After this exchange, he still hadn’t spoken, although I knew he was excited.
这个交换过程，他始终未发一言，不过我知道他肯定很兴奋。
I also was happy that I had been briefly distracted from my self-pity fest.
令人高兴的是，这件事把我的注意力从自怨自艾中暂时抽离了出来。
Still holding the card carefully with both hands, he looked up at me and said, Mister, you sureare lucky.
他抬起头来看着我说：先生，您真幸运。
Yes, I said, I sure am.
