The modern airplane design works well, but from a fuel efficiency standpoint, could planes be designed more aerodynamically — to lower drag and increase lift?

现代的飞机设计做得很好，但立足于燃料效率来看，飞机是否能设计得更符合空气动力学——降低阻力还是增加动力？

A modern sports glider, with long, slender wings, is the most aerodynamically efficient aircraft, with a lift-to-drag ratio of around 50:1.

现代运动用滑翔机的机翼长而细薄，拥有最佳的空气动力学效率，其升阻比达到50：1。

When it comes to the phenomenon of face-lift, which is nothing new but still hot-discussed in this modern society, there is no complete agreement among people.

当谈到整形手术这一不是新生反而在现代社会中被热烈讨论的现象时，在人们之间并没有完全的同意与否。
