最近一段時間,因為航班延誤等原因,國內好多機場都發生了一些沖突事件,部分乘客大鬧候機大廳或與工作人員發生爭吵。國外媒體在報道這些事件的時候都使用了一個詞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)是飛機飛行期間,乘客和空乘人員引發的搗亂或暴力行為統稱。第一例有紀錄的空怒事件發生在1947年,在一架由哈瓦那飛往邁阿密的飛機上,一位醉酒乘客襲擊了另一位乘客并咬傷了一名空乘人員。最近一段時間,空怒也被用來形容發生在機場的搗亂破壞行為。
