　　2017考研英语拓展阅读：埃及航空失事飞机碎片图片公布

　　The Egyptian military has released images of items found during the search in the Mediterranean Sea for missing Egypt Air flight MS804.

　　埃及军方在地中海的搜索工作中找到了失踪的埃及航空航班MS804的相关物件并发布了其图片。

　　They include life vests, parts of seats and objects clearly marked EgyptAir.

　　这包括救生衣，座位部分和清晰地标注了‘埃及航空’字样的物品。

　　The Airbus A320 was en route from Paris to Cairo with 66 people aboard when it vanished from radar early on Thursday.

　　空中客车A320飞机于周四从巴黎前往开罗的途中从雷达上消失，机上66人全部遇难。

　　Investigators have confirmed smoke was detected in various parts of the cabin three minutes before it disappeared, but say the cause is still not known.

　　调查者证实在其消失前的三分钟，客舱的各个部分检测到烟雾，但称原因仍不清楚。

　　Images posted on the Facebook page of the spokesman for the Egyptian Armed Forces showed life vests and other items with the EgyptAir logo.

　　埃及武装部队在脸书主页上发布了救生衣及其他带有埃及航空标志的物件照片。

　　The search has also reportedly found body parts and luggage.

　　搜索中还发现了尸块和行李。

　　The main body of the plane and the two "black boxes" which show flight data and cockpit transmissions have not yet been located.

　　飞机的主体和两个显示的飞行数据和座舱传输“黑匣子”还未找到。

　　The Aviation Herald said that smoke detectors had gone off in the toilet and the aircraft’s electronics before the signal was lost.

　　《航空先驱报》说，在信号消失之前，厕所及飞机电子设备的烟雾探测器已经关闭。

　　It said it had received flight data filed through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) from three independent channels.

　　该报称其获得了来自三个独立渠道的飞机通讯定位和报告系统(ACARS)的飞行信息。

　　It said the system showed that at 02:26 local time on Thursday (00:26 GMT) smoke was detected in the jet’s toilet.

　　它说该系统显示于周四当地时间02:26(00:26格林威治时间)探测到飞机里的烟雾。

　　A minute later - at 00:27 GMT - there was an avionics alert indicating smoke in the bay below the cockpit that contains aircraft electronics and computers.

　　一分钟后——即00:27格林威治时间——航空电子警报器显示，飞机电子和电脑设备所在的驾驶舱的下方出现烟雾。

　　The last ACARS message was at 00:29 GMT, the air industry website said, and the contact with the plane was lost four minutes later at 02:33 local time.

　　航空网站说，ACARS获得的最后信息是在00:29格林威治时间，飞机于4分钟后，即当地时间02:33失联。

　　ACARS is used to routinely download flight data to the airline operating the aircraft.

　　ACARS规律性地下载飞行数据到飞机的航空公司的操作系统上。

　　Confirming the data, France’s Bureau of Investigations and Analysis told AFP it was "far too soon to interpret and understand the cause of the accident as long as we have not found the wreckage or the flight data recorders".

　　法国调查和分析局对向法新社记者确认了该数据，并说这是“只要残骸或飞行数据记录器还未找到，解释事故的原因都为时过早。”

　　Agency spokesman Sebastien Barthe told Associated Press the messages "generally mean the start of a fire" but added: "We are drawing no conclusions from this. Everything else is pure conjecture."

　　机构发言人塞巴斯蒂安·巴特告诉美联社，这些信息“一般是指火灾发生的开始”，但他补充说“我们从这得不出结论，因为其他的一切纯粹是主观臆测。”

　　Philip Baum, the editor of Aviation Security International Magazine, told the BBC that technical failure could not be ruled out.

　　《国际航空安全》杂志的主编菲利普·鲍姆告诉BBC，不能排除技术故障的原因。

　　"There was smoke reported in the aircraft lavatory, then smoke in the avionics bay, and over a period of three minutes the aircraft’s systems shut down, so you know, that’s starting to indicate that it probably wasn’t a hijack, it probably wasn’t a struggle in the cockpit, it’s more likely a fire on board."

　　“据报道，飞机洗手间出现烟雾，然后航空电子设备舱有烟雾，3分钟后飞机系统关闭，所以你知道，这种情况可能表明事故不是因为劫机行动，在驾驶舱中可能并没有搏斗，而更可能是机舱着火。”
