繼“高鐵為啥沒有E座”之后，“全是不想坐B座的聰明人”也登上熱搜，引發(fā)無數(shù)網(wǎng)友共鳴！

　　A viral debate among Chinese high-speed rail travelers has crowned seat F the top pick in second-class carriages, while seat B is being shunned as the worst spot on the train.

　　有網(wǎng)友表示：高鐵B座，既看不了沿途風景，也不方便出去上廁所、接水，還有左右兩邊的扶手，好像哪一個都靠不到……

　　Following earlier buzz over why there's no seat E, netizens now lament the plight of seat B. Sandwiched between window seat A and aisle seat C, it offers no view, no easy access to the restroom, and not even a clear armrest to call one's own — an ordeal, especially for introverted passengers.

　　那些被B座硬控的i人，更是真坐不住了！

　　當然，有實慘就有真香！同價不同命的高鐵F座，則被網(wǎng)友奉為“二等座中的一等座”。

　　比起B(yǎng)座夾在A座和C座中間，高鐵F座不僅靠窗，而且只和過道隔了一個人，既不用擔心乘客進出時被打擾，也不像D座那樣隨時擔心有被頭頂行李砸到的風險。

　　In contrast, seat F — a window seat with just one neighbor between it and the aisle — is hailed as "firstclass within second class". It offers freedom from constant passenger disruptions and spares travelers the overhead-bin worries that plague aisle seat D.

　　不過，也有網(wǎng)友表示：雖然F座是“夢中情座”，但也并非毫無缺點。

　　比如：有太陽時，你前面的F座想要拉下遮光簾，你卻還想再看看風景。或者你想遮遮太陽，你后面的人卻并不想拉簾。

　　還有就是，高鐵F座，真的很難搶到！

　　整體而言，網(wǎng)友們的結論普遍是：高鐵F座是頂配，B座墊底。

　　Yet,seat F has its downsides: disputes with the passenger in front over the window shade, and the fact that it's notoriously hard to book. Still, online personality-based seating charts consistently rank F at the top, and B at the bottom.
