A man travelling from Iceland to London was turned away from a British Airways flight after he wore eight pairs of pants and 10 shirts to avoid paying for checked-in luggage.

为了省下托运费用，一名从冰岛前往伦敦的旅客穿了8条裤子，10件上衣，但还是被英国航空拒载了。

Turn away：拒绝

Ryan Carney Williams, who goes by the name Ryan Hawaii, was due to fly from Keflavik airport on Wednesday when he was refused a boarding pass by the airline.

因为付不起托运行李的费用，他把所有衣服都穿在身上，他也因此被拒绝登机。

Taking to his social media page to document the debacle, Hawaii tweeted: "@British_Airways hi being held at Iceland Keflavik airport because I had no baggage put all the clothes on and they still won't let me on. Racial profiling?"

Hawaii在自己的社交媒体页面公布了这次令人崩溃的经历：“@英国航空公司 你好。我在冰岛凯夫拉维克机场被拒载了，因为我把所有衣服都穿在身上没有行李，他们不让我登机。种族定向检查？”

Debacle：崩溃、灾害
Racial profiling：种族貌相、种族脸谱化（指执法机关在判断某一类特定的犯罪或违法行为的犯罪嫌疑人身份将种族或族群特征列入考虑范围，进而可能导致在破案过程中更多地怀疑某一族群的作案嫌疑）

Sadly for Hawaii the ordeal did not end there after he was turned away from a second flight with EasyJet the following day.

不幸的是，对Hawaii来说，考验并没有结束。第二天他又被第二家航空公司易捷航空拒载了。
