补充与修正几处 ※ 引述《sigur (Bull Black Nova)》之铭言： : Brazilian officials said the plane disappeared over the Atlantic somewhere : between a point 186 miles northeast of their coastal city Natal and the Cape : Verde islands off Africa. The area is known as the “horse latitudes,” where : the tropics of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres mix, sometimes creating : violent and unpredictable thunderstorms that can rise to 55,000 feet, higher : than commercial jetliners can go. : 巴西官方表示，飞机消失的地点约於Natal北方186哩与the Cape Verde islands off : Africa之间的某处。这个南北半球交界的热带区块以「horse latitudes」闻名，有时候 这就是气象学上着名的的「马纬度」 : Pilots are trained to go over or around thunderstorms rather than through : them. Brigitte Barrand, an Air France spokeswoman, said the highly : experienced pilot, a 58-year-old Frenchman, had clocked 11,000 flying hours, : including 1,100 hours on Airbus 330 jets. : Brigitte Barrand，一名经验老道的机长表示，机长们都被训练要绕过雷雨云而不是穿越 : 它。 Barrand 是法航发言人，不是「经验老道的机长」， 後面的飞时指的是失踪班机机长的经验。 : By some estimates, jetliners are typically hit by lightning at least once a : year. But the strike normally travels across the plane’s aluminum skin and : out the tail or a wingtip. Passengers are insulated in the nonconductive, : largely plastic interior, and vital equipment is shielded. : 根据估计，客机每年至少会被雷打到一次，但正常来说，电流会通过飞机铝制的外壳，之 : 後从机尾或机翼导出。绝缘的塑胶内层会将乘客隔离，并且同时启动必要的装置。 非也，此处乃指重要设备有雷击 的防护。 : Large hailstones created by some thunderstorms have been known to break : windshields or turbine blades, though pilots would be likely to rapidly : report something like that. : 雷云带来的大型冰雹，可能会造成机体损坏，纵使机长可能会尽快反应报告 这段是指，如果冰雹击碎驾舱玻璃或是损坏发动机叶片， 飞行员应会立即报告。 言外之意也就是，不太可能是这些原因导致失事。 : On both Qantas flights, the planes’ inertia sensors sent faulty information : into the flight computers, making them take emergency measures to correct : problems that did not exist, sending the planes into sudden dives. : 先前失事的Qantas flights就是这种机型，飞机内部的感应器接收到错误的讯息，自动 : 更改飞行状态采取必要措施应对「不存在的错误」，会造成飞机突然的下降 那两班 Qantas 只是 severe loss of alititude， 应该没有失事啦。 : If the inertia sensor told a computer that a plane was stalling, forcing it : to drop the nose and dive to pick up airspeed, and there was simultaneously a : severe downdraft in the storm turbulence, “that would be hard to recover : from,” Mr. Weber said. : 内部的感应器告知电脑飞机熄火，强迫飞机的机头下潜以回复速度，假如同时机尾有强 : 烈的乱流，「就没救了」，Mr. Weber表示 stall 是失速，不是熄火。 电脑误判飞机失速，所以压机头加速。 同时又遇上雷雨中的下沉气流 (downdraft)， 结果就是飞机向下急速俯冲，无法拉回。 --
