如果你不懂得美国式幽默，那么你必须得耐心地琢磨……
Every takeoff is optional. Every landing is mandatory.
每个起飞是自愿性的, 每个降落是强迫性的。
Always try to keep the number of landings you make equal the number of take offs you've made.
经常保持降落数目与起飞数目相等。
When in doubt, hold on to your altitude. No-one has ever collided with the sky.
当你觉得混乱时，请保持高度，因为没有人跟天空相撞过……
The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice versa.
生存的机会是跟着陆角度成反比例的。大的着陆角度，小的生存机会……
There are three simple rules for making a smooth landing. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.
要做出好的降落有三个原则，但不幸的是，没人知道是哪三个……
Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, the experience usually comes from bad judgment.
好的判断来自经验。很不幸，经验通常是来自坏的判断……
The three most useless things to a pilot are the altitude above you, runway behind you and a tenth of a second ago.
对于飞行员来说，最没用的三件事：在你上面的高度、在你背后的跑道以及刚过去的1/10秒。
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are, however, no old bold pilots.
这里有老飞行员，也有勇敢的飞行员；但是，这里并没有勇敢的老飞行员。
You know you've landed with the wheels up if it takes full power to taxi to the elevator.
当你要开足马力才能把飞机驶进停机坪，你就知道刚才降落时, 忘记了放下起落架……
Flying isn't dangerous. Crashing is what's dangerous.
飞行不是危险的，坠毁才是危险的！
The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
你唯一会嫌汽油太多的时候，就是着火的时候……
The propeller is just a big fan in front of the plane used to keep the pilot cool. When it stops, you can actually watch the pilot start sweating.
螺旋桨其实只是一个令飞行员凉快的大风扇，当它停了，你会看到飞行员开始冒汗了……
