【话匣子英语】红眼航班

想知道什么是红眼航班吗？坐上红眼航班是种怎么的体验，会休息好吗，为什么呢？

 

Maura: I’ve never slept really well on a flight. And we should also mention that it’s this term – the red-eye – that inspired this episode.

Harp¹: Yeah, because Lorenzo wrote us a nice email talking about when he discovered the expression red-eye.

Maura: Right, one of his friends told him she was catching² a red-eye flight and he didn’t know what it meant. He thought it would be a great expression to use in our episodes because he found it so useful, and we definitely agree with you, Lorenzo.

Harp: Yeah, Lorenzo thanks for the email. It reminded us of what a good expression red-eye is and to explain it to all our listeners.
