imagine you are preparing to take a flight. as you step onto the plane, you are greeted by a flight attendant. now, describe the clothes of the female flight attendant. you might say she is wearing a skirt, dressy top and dress shoes with heels. that would describe her traditional work clothes, or uniform.
假设你正准备坐飞机。当你登上飞机时，你会受到空乘人员的欢迎。现在，描述一下空姐的着装。你可能会说她穿了一条裙子，一件正装上衣和一双高跟鞋。这可以用来描述传统的工作服或制服。

我们把空姐、空少统称为“空中乘务员”flight attendant，所以老外用了female flight attendant表示空姐，举个例子：
i heard you had lunch with threefemaleairlineattendants.
我听说你和三个空中小姐共进了午餐。

but on one airline, that is changing. skyup airlines is a privately-owned ukrainian airline. it recently decided to put an end to heels and form-fitting skirts for their female flight attendants. now, the women will wear white nike sneakers. and their uniform will be a loose-fitting suit — with an orange jacket, orange pants and a white t-shirt. the suit and t-shirt are both made by ukrainian clothing companies.

ange after hearing comments from the flight attendants about their uniform. one of them is alexandrina denysenko.denysenko says that during a flight she sometimes does not sit down – not even for a minute. after standing so much and while wearing high heels, her legs and feet hurt. she said to wear comfortable shoes is like a dream come true.
该航空公司在听取了空乘人员对制服的评价后做出了这一改变。亚历山大·德尼申科就是其中之一。denysenko说，在飞行过程中，她有时连一分钟都不坐。穿着高跟鞋站了这么久，她的腿和脚都疼了。她说穿舒适的鞋子就像梦想成真。
while she says that heels look beautiful, “… feet suffer and swell by the end of the flight. and, she told reuters, “…sneakers are absolutely cool.” the company said they researched the history of cabin crew uniforms. they decided to get rid of what they called “conservative” parts of a flight attendant’s look. the airline has turned the traditional and conservative uniform into something modern and sporty.
虽然她说高跟鞋看起来很漂亮，但“……在飞行结束时，脚会疼痛和肿胀。她告诉路透社，“……运动鞋绝对很酷。”该公司表示，他们研究了空乘人员制服的历史。他们决定去掉空乘人员“保守”的外表。这家航空公司已经把传统和保守的制服变成了现代和运动的东西。

but the changes are not only about style and comfort. there are safety issues to consider as well. denysenko said that in the event of an emergency water landing, the crew would have to evacuate the plane on inflatable equipment. heels can damage that equipment. and she adds “… it won’t be very comfortable to swim in a skirt.”
但变化不仅仅是风格和舒适度。还有一些安全问题需要考虑。denysenko说，如果发生紧急水上降落，机组人员将不得不使用充气设备撤离飞机。高跟鞋会损坏这些设备。她还补充道:“……穿着裙子游泳不太舒服。”
