英语对话1：
lisa向同事jonah抱怨，美国机场安检太麻烦。jonah解释说：
j: anyone could be a bad guy. remember that guy who tried to blow up a plane with a bomb in his shoes? he got through security too easily because he had a uk passport.
l: yeah, these days it is hard to know who to trust. and i guess i can understand if the united states is a bit overprotective.
j: yeah, 9-11 changed america in a big way. everyone got really freaked out...maybe too freaked out.
jonah说，人不可貌相，现在谁都可能是坏人。lisa表示，i can understand if the united states is a bit overprotective，就算美国的保护措施有点过份了，也可以理解。jonah说，9-11恐怖袭击改变了美国，everyone got really freaked out， 所有人都吓坏了。
l: i can understand that. the attacks on new york and the pentagon were a real shock!
j: but i have to agree that maybe the u.s. went overboard with precautions. the last time i flew into new york, they told me i had to throw away a tiny bottle of aftershave! it was only a five c.c. bottle, but they said it could contain some kind of explosive material!
l: yeah, no liquids are allowed. they even confiscated my tiny scissors! i don't think it's possible for a five foot woman like me to hijack a plane with tiny scissors!
j: (chuckle) yep. but as they say: rules are rules...no exceptions.
英语对话2：
jonah 说，maybe the u.s. went overboard with precautions，美国的预防措施可能确实有些过份。overboard is spelled o-v-e-r-b-o-a-r-d, go overboard，意思是过头了。jonah就曾被迫扔掉一小瓶刮胡水，throw away a tiny bottle of aftershave. lisa的小剪刀也被没收过。
l: i was going to complain to the security personnel, but they looked so serious and scary!
j: yeah, you don't want to complain because that will get you nowhere. just try to be as cooperative as possible. if you raise a fuss, they will arrest you!
l: well, i hope someday the threat of terrorism will be gone and we can travel without all these hassles.
j: i'd like that too, but don't bet on it. i don't know if terrorism is going away anytime soon.
l: i guess i'd better learn how to live with the hassles then.
j: that's probably the wiser choice!
jonah告诉lisa，抱怨也没用，that will get you nowhere. 此外，if you raise a fuss, they will arrest you! 如果你找麻烦，他们还会把你抓起来！只要恐怖威胁不消失，就只好，learn how to live with the hassles，学习如何在麻烦中生活吧！
