After deplaning (6), she was asked to open her luggage publicly at the waiting hall attracting a lot of media reporters, and passengers who crowded around to watch. When the "unknown package" was discovered in her luggage, fear, intense emotion, and tension filled Zhang's eyes with tears. As she opened the package, Zhang suddenly found Su's proposal letter. Meanwhile the screen in the terminal hall displayed the words of Su's proposal and the TV broadcasted the video about the history of their relationship. In the meantime, Su knelt down with 99 roses in hand and proposed to her. Zhang, taken by surprise, promised a lifetime commitment of marriage under everyone's witness. 蘇冠丞與同學刻意設計了劇情,讓張肇芳一下機就因為行李發現「違禁品」,被帶往航警所偵訊、檢查,並於機場大廳當眾打開隨身行李,且有媒體記者大陣仗採訪,引來現場旅客圍觀。當張肇芳在行李中找出「不明包裹」時,緊張、害怕的情緒,使她眼淚奪眶而出。打開包裹時才發現,原來是蘇冠丞的求婚信。此時航站大廳的螢幕上也同步顯示了蘇冠丞的求婚字句,電視機還播出兩人交往過程的影片,蘇冠丞則捧著99朵紅玫瑰花束跪地求婚。張肇芳既驚又喜,在眾人的見證下,兩人許下相愛一生的承諾。 【註解】 ●1.

CAA also plans to expand the west side terminal, removing bunkers and other obstacles along the runway in accordance with increasing passenger traffic. The original expansion plan was for four years; however, it is hoped that the time frame can be condensed to two years in order to accommodate the 3.5 million passengers that travel by air each year. 交通部民航局局長李龍文5月2日在金門表示,金門航空站最快明年就要升級為乙等航空站,民航局並將規劃進行西側航廈擴建工程,拆除跑道頭碉堡等,以因應與日俱增的客流量。而航廈擴建期程,原先規劃四年,希望壓縮為二年內完成,以容納一年三百五十萬旅客進出。 Li, Long-Wen also stated that the number of closures of the Shangyi Airport caused by heavy fog from February to April was three times more than the same period last year. In addition, with the boost of Mini-Three-Links, the average number of Chinese tourism groups and Taiwanese businessmen recently increased from 400-600 to 2000 per day, resulting in the overcrowding of passengers at the airport due to cancelled or delayed flights caused by heavy fog. 李龍文表示,今年二至四月尚義機場關場率超過去年同期三倍,而旅客運量也因小三通等相關開放措施,經中轉的大陸觀光團、台商人數由過去平均一天四百至六百人,提高到最近平均一天二千人,以致機場稍有狀況,例如因濃霧關場,就造成旅客「滿坑滿谷」現象。 Li also pointed out that although the Kinmen Airport is presently at a Grade C, passenger traffic has increased from 1.72 million in 2008, to 1.98 million in 2009, and already this year from January to April, the number has reached 660,000. Furthermore, the annual transportation is expected to reach 2 million people. According to the CAA stipulation(1), the Shangyi Airport will be upgraded to Grade B next year with an increase in airport station stafff. Prior to the upgrade, the CAA will designate five people from others terminals to assist in the Shanyi Airport. 李龍文並表示,金門航空站目前還是丙等航站,然而自民國九十七年以來,尚義機場客流量就達到一百七十二萬人次,九十八年增為一百九十八萬人次,今年一至四月已經有六十六萬人次,年運量可望達二百萬人次,因此,依規定尚義機場明年將升格為乙等航站,並擴大場站人員編制。升格前,民航局將從其他航站先行抽調五名人力增援。 The suggestions proposed by Magistrate Li, Wo-Shi include the removal of the "Great Wall Bunker" and relevant obstacles along runway 06, and the reduction of visibility of landing minimum from 1200 meters to 800 meterss, Li, Long-Wen indicated that he had negotiated with the Ministry of National Defense and the implementation projects would be separated into two phases. 此外,對金門縣長李沃士建議拆除尚義機場06跑道頭附近的長城堡等障礙物,將航機起降標準由目視能見度一千二百公尺降低為八百公尺以利疏運,李龍文表示,已經和國防部協調分二階段實施。 【註解】 ●1. stipulation-(n)規定;條文。 本文摘譯、改寫自《金門日報》2010年5月3日報導
