“飞行员操作失误”致俄罗斯飞机坠毁

44 people were killed, when an aging Russian airliner slammed into the ground and caught fire, as it tried to land on a foggy night in northwestern Russia, late Monday.
星期一晚些时候，一架老化的俄罗斯客机撞击地面并着火，造成了44人死亡，该飞机是试图在雾气朦胧的夜晚降落到俄罗斯西北部时失事的。

The accident occurred in the northern Republic of Karelia. The republic will observe three days of mourning from June 22nd to June 24th, with state flags flown at half mast and the cancellation of TV and radio entertainment. The Tupo-lev-134 veered off course while coming in to land and controllers ordered the pilot to circle again, but it hit a power line.
事故发生在卡累利阿共和国北部。卡累利阿共和国将在6月22日至24日期间，降半旗致哀并停止电视和广播娱乐节目。该Tupo-lev-134客机在即将着陆时偏离航线，指挥人员命令飞行员再进行盘旋，但是飞机却撞上一根输电线。

Preliminary investigations show the crash was caused by the pilot missing the runway, due to adverse weather conditions. Investigators are also looking at whether technical problems contributed to the crash. Valery Okulov, Russia's deputy Transport Minister says the reason will be clarified by the International Aviation Committee.
初步调查显示，该飞机坠毁是由不利天气条件导致飞行员没能把飞机降落在跑道上引起的。调查人员也在调查是否是技术问题导致了飞机坠毁。俄罗斯交通部副部长瓦列里．奥库洛夫表示，失事原因有待国际航空委员会的确认。

Okulov said, "Judging from the crash site itself, from the accident, we can come to just a preliminary conclusion that the plane descended prematurely. The reason for this premature descent will be clarified by the International Aviation Committee."
奥库洛夫称：“从此次事故的坠机现场来判断，我们只能得出一个初步结论，那就是飞机过早降落。而过早降落的原因还有待国际航空委员会的确认。”
