VOA常速英语:Air Force One: What’s Inside The President’s Aircraft?

For some a plane is just a means of transportation.But for the U.S. head of state, Air Force One is also an office and home away from home. And now the public will get a chance to see up close and get a peek inside a full-sized replica of Air Force One. It will be on display at National Hardware outside of Washington DC.Here’s what you’ll be able to see, the front section of the aircraft where the Presidential Suite is located, bedroom, conference room and office. The section for the presidential staff and the Secret Service guests and journalists follows. Stewart’s who have flown on Air Force One for decades say their job is not always easy.
对有些人来说，飞机只是一种交通工具。但对于美国国家元首来说，空军一号是办公室也是另一个家。现在公众将有机会在空军全尺寸模型内近距离参观总统的飞机。该模型将在华盛顿特区外的国家五金展出。在这你能看到,飞机的前部是总统套房,有卧室、会议室和办公室。还有工作人员、特勤局人员和记者所在的部分。已经在空军一号上工作了几十年的工作人员，她说他们的工作并不总是那么容易。

Howie Franklin who worked on Air Force One for 30 years remembers one-tenth moment during the flight with the President Clinton. I had to wake him up. He only had two and a half hours sleep. So I came in and I and I went over to the bed and he was laying here And I’d leaned on him a little bit and he kind of moved and I leaned on him again and he kind of moaned a little bit. And finally I said boy I hate to do this. And the president said well don’t do it. That was a direct order from the president United States of America.
在空军一号工作了30年的豪伊·富兰克林至今还记得一些与克林顿总统一起飞行的细节。我不得不叫醒他。他只能睡两个半小时。所以我走进来，走到他躺着的床边。我向前晃了晃他，他动了一下，我又动了动，他呻吟了几声。最后我说，孩子我实在不喜欢这样做。然后总统回答说那就别这么做。这是美利坚合众国总统的直接命令。

Stewards have loads of stories like that and fascinating anecdotes about US presidents. President George Bush who was president between 1989 and 1993 disliked one vegetable and the stewards to thought. President Bush he was a pretty much regular standard. He didn’t have any specific meals. He didn’t like broccoli. So we know to make sure that we didn’t have any that at all.
工作人员有很多这样的故事和关于美国总统的有趣轶事。乔治·布什总统在1989至1993年间担任总统，他不喜欢一种蔬菜。布什总统几乎有一个固定的标准，他对膳食没有具体的要求。但他不喜欢花椰菜。所以我们要确保一点花椰菜也没有。

Becky Schultz became the first woman in the Air Force one cabin crew. And President Ronald Reagan who was president between 1981 and 1989 made Becky feel right at home on Air Force One. When I was hired, my official photograph with President Reagan, he knows that I was the first female to be hired on the air crew. Put his arm around me.And he always liked to talk with his hands.He put his arm around me and he said you know back we all put our pants on the same way one leg at a time, and what a great way to be introduced to the crew.
贝基·舒尔茨是空军一号机组人员中的第一位女性。1981年至1989年担任总统的罗纳德·里根总统使贝基在空军一号上感到宾至如归。当我被录用并和里根总统合影时，他知道我是第一位女性空勤人员。他用胳膊搂着我的肩膀。他说话时总是喜欢用手势。他用胳膊搂着我的肩膀并说到现在我们是同穿一条裤子的。这样的介绍简直太妙了。

There have been grief matters aboard Air Force One as well. It was the backdrop for a moment in history in November 1963. After President John F Kennedy was assassinated, his Vice President Lyndon Johnson took the oath of office aboard the aircraft.It’s believed the presidential plane got its special name during the Eisenhower era by a cautious pilot afraid the plane would get mixed up with others.
空军一号上也发生了一些令人悲伤的事情。在1963年11月，这里见证了一个历史性的时刻。肯尼迪总统遇刺后，他的副总统林登·约翰逊在飞机上宣誓就职。据信，在艾森豪威尔时代，一位谨慎的飞行员担心这架飞机会与其他飞机混在一起而命名它为空军一号。
