🇬🇧🇨🇳 stewardess - 空中小姐 : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "stewardess" ("空中小姐"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A stewardess is a woman who works on an airplane, helping passengers find their seats, serving food and drinks, answering questions, and making sure everyone is safe and comfortable during the flight.
The stewardess asked if I wanted headphones, and I said, "No thanks, I like listening to my own screaming inside."
A stewardess watched me try to buckle my seatbelt backwards and kindly rescued me from myself.
When the stewardess asked if I wanted chicken or pasta, I said, "Surprise me," and instantly regretted living so dangerously.
A stewardess saw my terrified face during takeoff and said, "Don’t worry, the pilot has done this more times than you’ve had birthdays."
The word "stewardess" is old‑fashioned, and today most airlines say "flight attendant" instead, because both women and men do the job.
The stewardess smiled as the plane shuddered. A child cried; the stewardess bent, gave a blanket, and showed the child the window. An old man fumbled his seatbelt; the stewardess fastened it and patted his hand. Another passenger feared turbulence; the stewardess nodded, offered water, and stayed until everyone calmed. The stewardess waved as the door opened.
