Oops! 中式英文
「我生病了。」有不同的說法。但是一字之差，也是會釀成大笑話的喔！
I feel hurt. (x) 是指像是失戀傷心或是被人背叛的那種傷痛。
真的要說「我感到痛」應該說“It hurts”或是“My head hurts”（我的頭在痛）。
I feel sick. (o)
可以這麼說，但是注意口語上另外還有的「好噁心！」
另外，...... makes me sick 是「…令我作嘔」的意思
I am sick. (o)
單獨使用是正確的，但是如果後面加個 of，就變成「我對…感到厭煩」
例如：I am sick of sushi. 我對壽司感到厭煩。（吃太多次了）
航空小知識
為了確保乘客旅途舒適順暢，搭上飛機之後，空服員就要像三頭六臂般滿足每位顧客的不同需求。除了常有的枕頭、毛毯、耳機、報章雜誌的需求外，不外乎就是食物和飲料的供應、出入境表格填寫的方法、簡單醫療需求、和其他飛航之間的問題。
機艙上一般都備有小包的餅乾和堅果，供短途旅客做點心，或是長途旅客下酒用。其他像是台灣航空公司常見的泡麵、糕點類像是鳳梨酥等點心，則是各班機的庫存狀況而定。航空公司也開放乘客自行攜帶限定種類的點心上機，許多乘客為了怕機上餐點吃不慣，還會自備便當、飯糰、包子饅頭等當作備份餐點。
英文為目前國際通用語言，在非英語國家的出入境表格也都有英文標示各項目名稱。但時常還是會有許多看不懂英文的乘客，他們就得仰賴空服人員的英文能力來協助他們了解內容和填寫方式。
飛航中難免會撞到或是被掉落行李打到頭的意外，或是一些男性乘客在刮鬍子時割傷，空服員也能提供冰袋或是緊急藥箱中的包紮藥品供乘客先處理傷口。
