Expensive and uncomfortable
When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload(load裝載, unload卸載, upload上傳, download下載) a number of(a number of “許多”，後的謂語動詞用複數) wooden boxes which contained clothing. No one could account for (account for 說明原因)the fact that one of the boxes was extreamly heavy. It suddenly occoured to(occour to 想起)one of the workers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he found. A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of woolen goods. He was so surprised at being discorvered that he did not even try to run away. (so...that...如此......以致......)After he was arrested, the man admitted hiding in the box before the plane left London. He had had a long and uncomfortable(comfor 安慰；comfortable舒適的；uncomfortable不舒服的) trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box for over eighteen hours. The man was ordered to pay £3,500 for the cost of the trip. The normal(normal正常的；abnormal不正常的,變態的) price of a ticket is £2,000!

譯文：當一架來自倫敦的飛機抵達悉尼機場時，工人們開始卸下裝有服裝的一批木箱。其中有隻箱子特別重，可誰也弄不清是怎麼回事。突然一個工人想到打開箱子看看。看到的情景是他吃驚，箱內有一個人正躺在一堆毛織品上。他由於被人發現而感到非常吃驚，甚至沒有企圖逃跑。此人被逮捕後，承認他是在飛機離開倫敦前躲進箱子裡的。他經歷了一次漫長而又難受的旅程，因為他在那小小木箱裡悶了18個多小時。此人被責令交付旅費3,500英鎊，而正常票價是2,000英鎊！
