圖文閱讀:史上最囧的沙灘

What a comfort! Jump out of airplane in a few meters from the ground, namely jump right into the sea… and annuAl leave already starting! WOW! It’s very practical! Bags leave in the plane. However, they may have to wait at the airport. It is so close. It is important to take good ransom and enjoy the benefits of summer vacation. Albeit a little loud holiday. But who cares. :)
太爽了！從離地面幾米高的飛機上跳下來就可以着陸，準確地說是跳進了海里……一年一度的度假還沒等飛機降落就開始了！哇塞！好刺激啊！行李都可以放在飛機上不用帶下來，當然他們可就得在機場放一會兒了，但機場就在咫尺之外！戴上足夠行李贖金很重要，這樣一來你就可以好好享受這個獨一無二的盛夏假期了。雖然有點吵，但又有什麼關係呢？
Maho Beach is a beach situated in St Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles, on the Dutch side of the island. The location is known worldwide because of the Princess Juliana International Airport that is situated immediately adjacent to the beach.
Maho海灘坐落於荷屬安帝列斯羣島聖馬丁島上，面向荷蘭。這個地方之所以全球聞名，是因爲緊鄰這裏的海灘旁建有一座名叫朱麗亞娜公主的國際機場。

Incoming air traffic is known to have to touch down as close as possible to the beginning of runway 10 due to the short runway length of 2,180 metres/7,152 ft, resulting in low-flying aircraft on their final approach over the beach. Due to these low flying airplanes (including large passenger airliners such as the Boeing 747), the location is very popular with plane spotters.
由於第十跑道的長度只有2180米，所以抵達航班不得不在海灘盡頭即降落，這樣一來人們一擡頭就是飛機龐大的身軀了。正是因爲這些低空飛行的飛機（包括大型客機如波音747），這個地方遊客絡繹不絕，大家都爭相一睹飛機從眼前頭頂呼嘯而過的盛況。
People standing on the beach may also be blown into the water because of the jet blast from aircraft taking off from runway 10. The beach can also experience large waves which makes it popular with windsurfers and skimboarders. The local government warns that closely approaching and departing aircraft can “result in serious injury and/or death.” An additional fence has been added recently behind runway 10 to prevent irresponsible tourists from hanging on to the main fence surrounding the runway to be “blasted” by the aircraft engines’ flow.
由於噴氣式飛機的起落會噴出大量氣流，站在海灘上的人有可能會被噴入海中。由於強大的氣流，海邊也經常有風浪，這對那些衝浪者來說無疑是好消息。當地政府警告遊客，起降的飛機都有可能會“造成人員傷亡”，最近又在十號跑道的盡頭架起了防護圍欄防止不負責任的遊客吊在主圍欄上而被飛機引擎噴出的氣流弄傷。

The beach itself is white sand and has little to no vegetation because of the jet blast erosion. The Caravanserai Resort, the popular Sunset Beach Bar and other restaurants/night clubs such as Bamboo Bernies and Bliss are located nearby.
海灘本身是白花花的，因爲飛機噴射氣流的關係這裏沒有什麼綠色植被。海灘周圍還坐落着豪華度假村、人氣爆棚的日落餐廳酒吧和其他的夜總會。
