VOA慢速英語(yǔ):副機(jī)長(zhǎng)獨(dú)自故意摧毀德之翼客機(jī)

France says it appears a Germanwings pilot purposely caused the deadly crash of the passenger plane in the French Alps Tuesday.

法國(guó)方面稱(chēng)周二時(shí)候一架德之翼航班飛行員故意行為造成航班在法國(guó)阿爾卑斯山附近墜毀。

The 28-year-old German co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, was alone at the controls when he flew the plane into the ground. The crash killed all 150 people on board.

28歲的德國(guó)副機(jī)長(zhǎng)Andreas Lubitz在駕駛飛機(jī)駛?cè)朐搮^(qū)域時(shí)是獨(dú)自一人在駕駛飛機(jī)，飛機(jī)墜毀造成機(jī)上150人全部遇難。
 

Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin (C) with Gen. David Galtier (R) holds a press conference in Marseille, southern France, March 26, 2015.

The French prosecutor told reporters that Captain Lubitz apparently wanted to destroy the airplane. He said investigators came to this understanding after listening to the last 30 minutes of sound on the flight's voice recorder.

法國(guó)檢察官告訴記者稱(chēng)Andreas Lubitz機(jī)長(zhǎng)顯然想摧毀飛機(jī)。他說(shuō)調(diào)查人員在聽(tīng)完最后30分鐘錄音之后得出這一說(shuō)法。

The pilot and co-pilot spoke of usual things for 20 minutes. Then pilot left the cockpit. He was locked out of the room when he returned. The co-pilot can be heard breathing during this time. He did not speak to the pilot or air traffic controllers again, however. The recording suggests the pilot tried to break down the door into the cockpit.

機(jī)長(zhǎng)和副機(jī)長(zhǎng)說(shuō)了大概20分鐘一般的聊天話題，隨后機(jī)長(zhǎng)離開(kāi)了駕駛艙，但是他回來(lái)的時(shí)候被鎖在了外面。這個(gè)時(shí)候可以聽(tīng)到副機(jī)長(zhǎng)的喘氣聲。他沒(méi)有再與機(jī)長(zhǎng)或者空中交通管制員講話，然而根據(jù)記錄顯示，機(jī)長(zhǎng)試圖破門(mén)進(jìn)入駕駛艙。

Investigators do not know why the co-pilot would have wanted to crash the plane.

調(diào)查人員尚不清數(shù)副機(jī)長(zhǎng)想要摧毀飛機(jī)的原因。
