加拿大的一群旅客新年夜躲过了一次异常惊险的飞行，他们喝醉了的飞行员在驾驶舱里晕倒，随后被警方带走。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Airline passengers in Canada were saved from an incredibly dangerous flight this New Year’s Eve, when their intoxicated pilot allegedly passed out in the cockpit before being arrested, according to the Calgary Police Service.

    Police said the Sunwing Airlines cabin crew notified authorities after they noticed the pilot behaving “oddly” as he boarded the flight bound for Cancun, Mexico. Police later arrested the pilot and charged him with two counts of controlling an aircraft while impaired and controlling an aircraft while intoxicated, police said.

    报道中的pass out就是“失去知觉。”例如：

    If he took one more drink, he would pass out.

    他再喝一杯酒就会昏倒。
