Then we took a streamliner from St. Louis to Denver—just fantastic!

然后我们坐流线型火车从圣路易斯到丹佛——太棒了！

Back in the 1930s, streamliners like this Chrysler Airflow used this sleek design to reduce wind resistance.

早在 1930 年代，像克莱斯勒 Airflow 这样的流线型汽车就使用这种圆滑的设计来降低风阻。

But as the 50s and 60s rolled around, American streamliners stopped selling well — they were outsold by bigger, boxier cars.

但随着 20 世纪 50 年代和 60 年代的到来，美国的流线型汽车不再畅销——它们的销量被更大、更方正的汽车超越了。

We were taking some friends to the train. They were leaving on The City of Los Angeles, a streamliner, to return from a vacation. War was still on-crowds were heavy that year.

我们正带一些朋友去火车。他们正乘坐流线型飞机离开洛杉矶市，休假归来。战争仍在继续——那一年人潮汹涌。
