76 Unnecessary Warning 不必要的警告
During a business trip to Boeing's Everett, Wash., factory, I noticed several 747 and 777 airliners being assembled. Before the engines were installed, huge 14,000 lbs. weights were hung from the wings to keep the planes balanced. Imprinted on the side of each weight was the warning: “Remove before flight.”
到華盛頓州埃弗雷特波音飛機(jī)工廠去談生意,我看到一些正在裝配中的747和777飛機(jī)。在沒有裝發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)之前,為了使飛機(jī)保持平衡,從飛機(jī)的翅膀往下掛兩塊14000磅重的巨大重物。在這些重物的側(cè)面印有警告:“飛行前先拿掉”。
