應乘客要求 美聯航恢復供應番茄汁

The juice of a fruit once thought to cause madness -- the tomato -- got United Airlines in hot water with travelers last week.

曾被認為能導致人瘋狂的水果番茄所榨成的汁，上周讓美國聯合航空公司備受乘客指責。

United decided to cut tomato juice from its selection of in-flight beverages, but quickly reversed its decision after a torrent of complaints on social media.

美聯航本已決定將番茄汁從其航班飲料單中劃除，但此舉招致社交媒體上怨聲載道。

"What are you doing United Airlines? Everyone knows tomato juice is so much better in the air!!!!" said a netizen.

一名網友說：“美聯航你們在干什么?誰都知道番茄汁在空中喝味道好得多!!!!”

"I've always been a united guy and will book based on price, but if your price is equal to your competitor, the airline serving the tomato juice will get my business!" howled another.

另外一名網友咆哮道：“我一直乘坐美聯航，并且基于價格而預訂，但是如果你們的價格和競爭者一樣，我會選擇能喝到番茄汁的航空公司。”

The airlines, which has had a few self-created public-relations disasters in the not too distant past, was wise enough to head off the outrage before it ascended to an even higher altitude.

在不久之前，該航空公司經歷了幾次自己造成的公關災難，在上升到一個更高的高度之前，明智的做法就是避免引起眾怒。

The airline has now announced that the drink will be reinstated. It said on Twitter: "You say tomato. We say, we hear you. Tomato juice is here to stay. #letscallthewholethingoff."

美聯航目前已宣布保留番茄汁。該公司在推文中寫道：“你們要番茄汁，聽你們的，番茄汁保留。#讓此事告一段落。”
