教授飞机上写微积分 被误认为恐怖分子
Professor questioned as terror suspect on flight over math equation
An Ivy League professor aboard an American Airlines flight was questioned after a passenger mistook a math equation for Arabic and possible Islamic code for a terrorist attack.
一位常春藤名校的教授在乘坐美国航空的航班时,有乘客误把他写的数学公式当成阿拉伯文和恐怖袭击的伊斯兰组织代码,导致他本人不得不接受盘问.
Guido Menzio, an economics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was working on a differential math equation as the Syracuse-bound plane was preparing to take off from Philadelphia.
这位教授名叫吉多·门齐奥,是宾夕法尼亚大学的经济学教授,他搭乘的这趟飞机计划从费城飞往锡拉丘兹,飞机起飞前,他正在演算一道微积分算式.
The 41-minute flight was delayed by two hours as the olive-skinned, curly, dark-haired native Italian was questioned.
由于这位黑卷发、橄榄色皮肤的意大利裔教授受到盘问,导致仅有41分钟航程的航班推迟起飞两小时.
A blond-haired woman wearing flip-flops and appearing to be in her 30s had passed a note to a flight attendant. American Airlines flight 3950 returned to the gate at Philadelphia International Airport and was met by what he described as an "FBI-looking man in black."
就因为一位30多岁、穿人字拖的金发女性给空乘传了一张纸条,这架美国航空3950航班不得不回到费城国际机场的登机口处,接受一位"貌似来自联邦调查局的黑衣人（据门齐奥说）"的检查.
He learned the woman thought he was a terrorist.
门齐奥这才了解到,原来那位女性怀疑他是恐怖分子.
After realizing he was only doing math, the flight took off minus the complaining passenger. The woman boarded a later flight for Syracuse. Menzio boarded the original flight again.
