中文意思：航空運(yùn)輸?shù)馁M(fèi)用由貨物的重量或者重量加體積決定——即，按每件裝載貨物的尺寸來(lái)決定。
英文原文：Generally, a certain number of cubic inches is considered the equivalent of a pound of weight. On international shipments, a shipper is at present allowed 194 cubic inches for each pound. If he exceeds the volume allowance, he pays a higher rate. As with passenger fares, however, there are special rates for certain kinds of goods.

英文原文：With freight, however, the airline can also accept payment on delivery; this is probably customary with large, frequent shippers. The member of the general public who was shipping personal effects would probably be asked to prepay. In regard to international shipment, however, some countries do not permit any shipments except those that have been prepaid, no matter who the shipper is.
注釋：payment on delivery: 交貨后付款 customary: 習(xí)慣的，慣例的 frequent: 經(jīng)常的，頻繁的 general public: 公眾，群眾 personal effect: 私人用品 in regard to: 關(guān)于

英文原文：With a member of the public, the agent is probably unable to assign an air waybill number, ascertain the charges, or book the shipment on specific flights until the shipment had been received by the airline, when it is weighed and checked to see if it was adequately packed.
注釋： ascertain: 確定，查明 adequately: 充足，足夠
中文意思：對(duì)于一般群眾來(lái)說(shuō)，直到航空公司接到貨物、過(guò)磅并檢查包裝是否合適之后，貨運(yùn)代理才為其分配一個(gè)航空貨運(yùn)單的號(hào)碼，確定運(yùn)費(fèi)或在某航班上預(yù)定運(yùn)貨。
