JetBlue founder launches 'world's nicest airline'

捷藍航空公司開闢“世界最舒心航線”

Initially, Breeze will target mid-sized US city pairs that don't currently have nonstop service. "Breeze will fly non-stop service between places currently without meaningful or affordable service," said Neeleman, Breeze's CEO and president, in a press release.

"We brought humanity back to the airline industry with JetBlue," Neeleman said. "Today, we're excited to introduce plans for 'the World's Nicest Airline.'"

"Bringing low-cost, non-stop service to these mid-size cities will help not only the people living there by affording them better, more affordable, and more convenient service," said Janet Bednarek, aviation history professor at the University of Dayton in Ohio. "It will also help those cities compete in a market that now heavily favors cities with large hub airports."

詞彙釋義：

founder：創始人

initially：最初

target：面向，把…作為目標

pair：一對；一雙（此處指航線互為出發和到達的對向城市）

currently：目前

affordable：負擔得起的

CEO（Chief Executive Officer）：首席執行官

press：新聞，報道

release：發佈，公佈

humanity：人性

convenient：方便的

aviation：航空

compete：競爭

favor：喜愛，偏好，青睞

hub：中心，核心

難句解析：

1.Breeze will fly non-stop service between places currently without meaningful or affordable service. —— 本句中currently without meaningful or affordable service是副詞前置於介詞，介詞短語作定語修飾places，可直譯如下：沒有意義的或負擔不起的服務，其邏輯含義是指對於航空公司來說是如此，也正因為如此，這家航空公司才要開闢一條與眾不同的航線。

2. It will also help those cities compete in a market that now heavily favors cities with large hub airports. —— 本句中that now heavily favors cities with large hub airports是定語從句修飾market，其中關係代詞that是主語，指代market，favour是謂語，表示偏好，青睞的意義。
