　　According to the Heathrow Airport website: 'China's mystical temple incense and subtle Osmanthus Fragrans flower create an orient explosion', and 'Thailand tantalises the taste buds with an appetising mix of lemongrass, ginger¹⁸ and coconut¹⁹'.

　　根据希斯罗机场的官网，“中国神秘的寺庙焚香和淡淡的桂花香营造了一种东方的感觉”，而“泰国以开胃的柠檬草、姜和椰子的混合香气满足了人们的味蕾”。
