Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的）about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!

布莱恩在飞机飞往巴黎前2小时到达旧金山机场。他穿着3件衬衣、一件夹克、两双袜子、一条短裤、两条牛仔。他背着一个很满的小背包，但是他不想再拿其他的行李。布莱恩要在检票进港之前会一个叫托尼的人。他看见托尼在法国航空的柜台旁边。托尼给了他一张往返机票和一个小包。

“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“到巴黎机场后，请将这个包交给让—保罗。他会举着一张有你名字的牌子（在那里）等你。我想你很容易看见他。”托尼说，“你再没有其他任何行李，对吗？”

“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“就这个背包，”布莱恩回答道，“你的意思是我还可以拿一个随身的小包。”

“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“是的，随身小包也不错。祝你旅途愉快！”

“Thanks.”
“谢谢！”

怒莱恩是个罪犯吗？不是。他是一名航空信使。他飞巴黎的往返票只需要110美元。航空信使之所以能够买到便宜机票，是因为他们带着重要的包裹和文件出国。做生意的人通常需要带着包裹和文件在一天内送达国外。经常地，他们能够实现这个的唯一办法就是利用航空信使（团队）。让航空信使送包裹时不便宜的，但是这样很快。

Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible（灵活的）about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
每年，全球大约有80，000人以航空信使的身份旅行。航空信使旅行的机票数额每年大约增长10%。然而，航空信使旅行并不适合任何人。但如果你没有钱、可以灵活地改变你的旅行计划，且不介意连续一周穿着同样的衣服，这（航空信使）不失为一个度假的好方法。
