美国有线新闻 CNN 导弹袭击还是技术问题? 乌克兰客机坠毁原因众说纷纭(在线收听

Between Iran and the United States military attacks and revenge attacks have dominated the headlines over the past couple weeks. But there's another event under investigation in Iran and abroad. A plane crashed in the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday. It was a Ukrainian passenger jet headed from Iran to Ukraine and it went down shortly after take off.

过去几周以来,伊朗与美国之间的军事袭击和报复袭击一直占据着新闻头条。但现在,伊朗内外正在对另一起事件进行调查。周三,一架飞机在伊朗首都德黑兰坠毁。失事飞机是从伊朗飞往乌克兰的乌克兰客机,其在起飞后不久坠毁。

All 176 people on board were killed. At first, Iranian and Ukrainian officials suggested that technical problems caused the crash. But yesterday Ukrainian authorities said they were also considering terrorism and a missile strike as possible causes. And U.S. officials said it appeared Iran shot down the plane with two surface to air missiles. Why? Several sources including U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, say Iran could have done this by mistake. The plane crash happened within hours of Iran's missile attack against two military bases where U.S. troops were staying.

机上176人全部丧生。一开始,伊朗和乌克兰官员认为飞机坠毁原因是技术问题。但昨天,乌克兰有关部门表示,他们也认为恐怖主义和导弹袭击是可能的坠毁原因。美国官员表示,似乎是伊朗用两枚地对空导弹击落了这架客机。原因是什么?包括美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多在内,多个消息来源称这起坠机事故系伊朗误击。在这架客机坠毁的几个小时之前,伊朗向两个美国军事基地发射了导弹袭击。

If Iran thought a revenge attack was coming, it might have mistaken the Ukrainian passenger jet as a threat and shot it down. To be clear, that's just one theory that observers have. Formal investigations are taking place and Iran denies shooting down the plane. It says the accusations are part of psychological warfare against Iran. Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the Middle East between that country and America but historically speaking that's nothing new.

如果伊朗认为报复袭击即将来临,那他们可能会误将这架乌克兰客机当作威胁,并将其击落。需要明确的是,这只是观察人士提出的其中一个理论。正式调查还在进行中,而伊朗否认击落客机。伊朗表示,这一指责是针对伊朗的心理战。与此同时,伊朗与美国的对峙令中东地区的紧张局势持续升级,但从历史上来看这种情况屡见不鲜。
