Our plane was diverted.
對(duì) 話來(lái)源：考試大
Alice: We had a terrible time getting back from our vacation on Majorca last week.
Simon: Did you have an accident?
Alice: No, nothing like that thank goodness, but we were supposed to fly back direct to London and our plane was diverted to Manchester. It took us half a day extra to get home.
Simon: What bad luck! What was the reason?
Alice: There was a lot of fog in London, which was quite unusual for the time of year, so they diverted our flight for safety reasons.
Simon: Rather that than risk a crash.
Alice: I suppose you're right.
艾麗斯：上星期我們從馬霍卡島度假回來(lái)，旅途很不愉快。
西門：有發(fā)生意外事有故嗎？
艾麗斯：不是，幸好沒(méi)有那么糟。不過(guò)，我們?cè)瓚?yīng)直接飛回倫敦，卻要轉(zhuǎn)往曼徹斯特降落，多花了半天才回到家里。
西門：真倒霉！為什么要轉(zhuǎn)飛曼徹斯特？
艾麗斯：倫敦當(dāng)時(shí)起了濃霧，在這個(gè)季節(jié)實(shí)在不尋常。他們?yōu)榱税踩踩?，要我們改飛曼徹斯特。
西門：改飛，總勝于墜毀。
艾麗斯：這個(gè)當(dāng)然。
Divert是‘轉(zhuǎn)移（方向、用途等）’，名詞是diversion。除了說(shuō)飛機(jī)，車輛改道也常用這個(gè)字，例如：All traffic had to take a diversion because of the car crash/All traffic had to be diverted because of the car crash（由于撞車事故，所有車輛都要改道）。空中交通叫air traffic，例如：The air traffic controller diverted all flights to New York（空中交通管制員要所有班機(jī)改道飛往紐約）。
Divert既有‘轉(zhuǎn)移’的意思，所以也有‘使人分心’、‘娛樂(lè)’的意思，例如：(1) The clowns diverted the children（小丑把孩子們逗樂(lè)了）。(2) Two men quarreled to divert our attention while another man tried to pick our pockets（兩個(gè)男人吵起來(lái)，一個(gè)分散我們的注意力，另一個(gè)則試圖偷我們身上的東西）。轉(zhuǎn)移人家注意力的手法，叫做create a diversion，例如：你可以說(shuō)The two men created a diversion while another man tried to pick our pockets。艾麗斯說(shuō)飛機(jī)沒(méi)有遇上意外事故：Thank goodness。這個(gè)goodness請(qǐng)勿解作‘好’或‘善良’。英文常用goodness作感嘆語(yǔ)，代替God，所以Thank goodness等于‘謝天謝地’，My goodness等于‘天哪’，Goodness knows等于‘天曉得’，F(xiàn)or goodness' sake等于‘看在老天面子上’，例如：(1) For goodness' sake, don't tell her!（千萬(wàn)不要告訴她啊?。?2) Goodness knows what he wants（誰(shuí)知道他要什么）。西方人認(rèn)為感嘆語(yǔ)用God、Christ等字，未免褻瀆神明，goodness是較婉轉(zhuǎn)的說(shuō)法
