A doctor who was dragged off a United flight after he refused to give up his seat to crew members has reached a settlement last Thursday with the airline for undisclosed amount.
前段时间，一位医生在乘坐美国联合航空公司的飞机时，因拒绝将座位让给该公司员工而遭到安保人员的暴力拖拽。上周四，该乘客已与美联航达成和解，但未透露具体和解金额。
David Dao's legal team announced the settlement in a brief statement, saying the agreement includes a provision that the amount will remain confidential.
这位名叫陶大卫的乘客的法律团队在一份简短声明中宣布，作为条件之一，他们需要对协议金额保密。
Mobile phone footage of the April 9 confrontation on board a plane at Chicago's O'Hare Airport sparked widespread public outrage over the treatment of Mr. Dao.
一段有关4月9日芝加哥奥黑尔机场一架飞机上的冲突的手机视频片段，激起了广大民众对陶大卫所受待遇的愤怒。
The footage showed airport police officers pulling the 69-year-old doctor from his seat and dragging him down the aisle. His lawyer claimed he lost teeth and suffered a broken nose and concussion in the incident.
该视频片段显示，机场警务人员将这位69岁的医生从座位上拽了下来，并沿着过道进行拖拽。陶大卫的律师称，本次事故导致陶大卫脑震荡、牙齿掉落以及鼻梁骨折。

陶大卫的首席律师托马斯·德米特里奥对美联航及其首席执行官奥斯卡·穆诺斯承担责任以及没有怪罪任何人的行为表示了赞扬。
