The juice of a fruit once thought to cause madness -- the tomato -- got United Airlines in hot water with travelers last week.
曾被认为能导致人疯狂的水果番茄所榨成的汁，上周让美国联合航空公司备受乘客指责。
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.
美联航本已决定将番茄汁从其航班饮料单中划除，但此举招致社交媒体上怨声载道。
"What are you doing United Airlines? Everyone knows tomato juice is so much better in the air!!!!" said a netizen.
一名网友说：“美联航你们在干什么？谁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.
另外一名网友咆哮道：“我一直乘坐美联航，并且基于价格而预订，但是如果你们的价格和竞争者一样，我会选择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，该航空公司经历了几次自己造成的公关灾难，在上升到一个更高的高度之前，明智的做法就是避免引起众怒。
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."
美联航目前已宣布保留番茄汁。该公司在推文中写道：“你们要番茄汁，听你们的，番茄汁保留。#让此事告一段落。”
