日本航空近日推出一項(xiàng)新功能，在你訂票的時(shí)候，訂座系統(tǒng)將能顯示出兩歲以下嬰幼兒所在的位置，方便那些介意嬰兒啼哭的旅客選座。

Japan Airlines has introduced a feature on its seat booking system that shows where young children are seated.

日本航空公司的訂座系統(tǒng)引進(jìn)了一項(xiàng)新功能，可以顯示嬰幼兒所在位置。

A "child" icon appears when a passenger is travelling with children aged under two years.

當(dāng)一名旅客帶著不足兩歲幼兒乘機(jī)時(shí)，訂座系統(tǒng)上會(huì)顯示“兒童”標(biāo)志。

One traveller said the feature let him know where babies "plan to scream... during a 13-hour trip".

一名旅客說，這項(xiàng)功能讓他知道“在13個(gè)小時(shí)的旅程中，嬰兒計(jì)劃在哪個(gè)方位啼哭”。

But some Twitter commentators urged him to be tolerant, while others said the problem could easily be solved with noise-cancelling headphones.

不過推特上的一些評(píng)論懇請(qǐng)這位旅客包容一點(diǎn)，還有評(píng)論指出這一問題只需要佩戴降噪耳機(jī)就可輕松解決。

Japan Airlines' website says the icon "lets other passengers know a child may be sitting there". However, the airline warned the tool was not foolproof, as the icon might not appear if a ticket was booked through a third party or if there was a last-minute change of aircraft.

日本航空網(wǎng)站稱，這一標(biāo)志“讓其他旅客知道可能會(huì)有一個(gè)小孩坐在那里”。不過，航空公司也警告說，這一工具并不是萬無一失的，如果機(jī)票是通過第三方訂的，或者臨時(shí)更換機(jī)型，那么可能就不會(huì)出現(xiàn)這個(gè)標(biāo)志。

Even so, venture capitalist Rahat Ahmed sent a tweet thanking Japan Airlines for "warning" him about where children were sitting.

即使如此，風(fēng)險(xiǎn)資本家拉哈特·艾哈邁德還是發(fā)推感謝日本航空就兒童所在位置發(fā)出了“警告”。

"This really ought to be mandatory across the board, " he said, adding that Qatar Airways should "take note".

他說：“這項(xiàng)功能真應(yīng)該全面強(qiáng)制實(shí)行。”他補(bǔ)充道，卡塔爾航空公司應(yīng)該“引以為鑒”。

across the board: 全面地

"I had three screaming babies next to me on my [New York to Doha] flight two weeks ago," he added.

他說：“兩周前我乘飛機(jī)從紐約去多哈，身邊就坐著三個(gè)啼哭的嬰兒。”

His tweet attracted a number of responses, with some offering support for the "awesome" website booking feature.

他的這條推文引來了許多評(píng)論，一些人對(duì)這項(xiàng)“了不起的”網(wǎng)站訂票功能表達(dá)了支持。

However, other Twitter users urged people to be tolerant.

然而，其他一些推特用戶卻懇請(qǐng)大家多包容。

"They are babies, as we all once were. We need to learn tolerance or will soon start needing a map of seat locations for mouth breathers, droolers, farters, drunks, and perhaps a lot more things in life," said Twitter user G Sundar.

推特用戶G·孫達(dá)爾說：“他們是嬰兒，我們也都是從那個(gè)階段過來的。我們需要學(xué)會(huì)包容，否則我們很快就需要更多人的座位標(biāo)志：大口呼氣的人、流口水的人、放屁的人、醉酒的人，等等。”

Andrew Lim said: "I used to feel and say exactly what you have just said - but after having my own son, I am very sympathetic to parents travelling with kids.

安德魯·林姆說：“我過去會(huì)對(duì)你說的這番話感同身受，甚至?xí)f出和你同樣的話，但當(dāng)我自己有了兒子以后，我對(duì)帶孩子旅行的父母感到十分同情?！?/p>

"If you're not happy with a screaming child in the cabin, then I am more than happy [for] you to try and reason with them."

“如果機(jī)艙里啼哭的孩子讓你感到不悅，那么我很樂意看到你去和他們理論?！?/p>

Deirdra Hardimon said: "Babies are not capable developmentally to 'plan' crying or screaming."

迪爾德拉·哈迪蒙說：“從發(fā)育水平上來看，嬰兒并沒有能力去‘計(jì)劃’哭或尖叫?！?/p>

Other Twitter users said noise-cancelling headphones were the answer.

其他推特用戶則表示，降噪耳機(jī)就可以解決問題。

Jene Johnson said: "Wow... get some noise cancelling headphones and go about your day."

赫內(nèi)·強(qiáng)森說：“哇哦……買個(gè)降噪耳機(jī)，就可以愉快地做你的事了呀?！?/p>

"I don't understand people that complain about babies crying on planes. I put on my headphones and I hear nothing."

“我不能理解那些抱怨嬰兒在飛機(jī)上啼哭的人。我戴上耳機(jī)后就聽不到什么了?！?/p>

According to the website flyingwithababy.com, one of the most family-friendly airlines is Etihad, which has extras such as free pushchairs to use at hubs.

根據(jù)“帶著嬰兒坐飛機(jī)”網(wǎng)站，對(duì)家庭最友好的航空公司是阿提哈德航空公司，該公司對(duì)家庭有額外的服務(wù)，比如在機(jī)場(chǎng)有免費(fèi)的嬰兒車可以使用。

Emirates and Gulf Air also score highly according to the website.

阿聯(lián)酋航空公司和海灣航空公司在該網(wǎng)站上的評(píng)分也很高。
