继“高铁为啥没有E座”之后，“全是不想坐B座的聪明人”也登上热搜，引发无数网友共鸣！
A viral debate among Chinese high-speed rail travelers has crowned seat F the top pick in second-class carriages, while seat B is being shunned as the worst spot on the train.
有网友表示：高铁B座，既看不了沿途风景，也不方便出去上厕所、接水，还有左右两边的扶手，好像哪一个都靠不到……
Following earlier buzz over why there's no seat E, netizens now lament the plight of seat B. Sandwiched between window seat A and aisle seat C, it offers no view, no easy access to the restroom, and not even a clear armrest to call one's own — an ordeal, especially for introverted passengers.
那些被B座硬控的i人，更是真坐不住了！
当然，有实惨就有真香！同价不同命的高铁F座，则被网友奉为“二等座中的一等座”。
比起B座夹在A座和C座中间，高铁F座不仅靠窗，而且只和过道隔了一个人，既不用担心乘客进出时被打扰，也不像D座那样随时担心有被头顶行李砸到的风险。
In contrast, seat F — a window seat with just one neighbor between it and the aisle — is hailed as "firstclass within second class". It offers freedom from constant passenger disruptions and spares travelers the overhead-bin worries that plague aisle seat D.
不过，也有网友表示：虽然F座是“梦中情座”，但也并非毫无缺点。
比如：有太阳时，你前面的F座想要拉下遮光帘，你却还想再看看风景。或者你想遮遮太阳，你后面的人却并不想拉帘。
还有就是，高铁F座，真的很难抢到！
整体而言，网友们的结论普遍是：高铁F座是顶配，B座垫底。
Yet,seat F has its downsides: disputes with the passenger in front over the window shade, and the fact that it's notoriously hard to book. Still, online personality-based seating charts consistently rank F at the top, and B at the bottom.
