情態副詞

A new search is getting underway for the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which mysteriously vanished without a trace more than 10 years ago.

一架新的搜救行動即將展開，尋找十多年前神祕失蹤、毫無蹤跡的馬來西亞航空370號班機。

239 passengers and crew were on board the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared.

這架班機從吉隆坡飛往北京，失事前機上有239名乘客和機組人員。

轉承詞

Despite years of searches, investigators still do not know what happened.

儘管經過多年的搜查，調查人員仍然不知道發生了什麼事。

The latest attempt hopes to answer one of the most baffling mysteries in modern aviation.

最新的搜救行動希望能解開現代航空史上最令人費解的謎團之一。

More than a decade on since his disappearance, and

the question remains, what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370?

馬來西亞航空MH370號班機究竟發生了什麼事？這個問題依然存在。

A Boeing airliner like the one seen here disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014.

一架像這裡看到的波音客機於2014年3月8日從雷達上消失。

The flight with 239 passengers and 12 crew members on board was on route to Beijing.

這架載有239名乘客和12名機組人員的班機正飛往北京。

But when it was due to enter Vietnamese airspace, it vanished without a trace.

但當它即將進入越南領空時，就這樣無聲無息地消失了。

Tracking analysis indicates MH370 was likely intentionally diverted back over Malaysia.

追蹤分析顯示，MH370很可能是被蓄意轉向，飛回馬來西亞上空。

The plane could have flown up to seven or eight hours before running out of fuel over the Indian Ocean.

這架飛機可能在印度洋上空耗盡燃料前，飛行了七到八個小時。

More than $150 million has already been spent on the most expensive search in aviation history.

已經花了超過一億五千萬美元，這是航空史上最昂貴的搜救行動。

But the families of the passengers and crew still don't know where their loved ones are.

但乘客和機組人員的家屬仍然不知道他們的親人在哪裡。

A 2018 final report failed to name a cause for the disaster, but

2018年的最終報告未能找出災難的原因，但

did conclude the plane was manually turned around.

確實結論飛機是被手動轉向的。

Over the years, several pieces of debris have washed ashore, like here on the French island of La Reunion.

多年來，有幾塊飛機殘骸被沖上岸，就像在這裡的法國留尼旺島一樣。

Now robotics company Ocean Infinity is once again taking up the search, hoping to finally give the victims families the closure they've been waiting for.

現在，機器人公司 Ocean Infinity 再次展開搜救，希望能最終給予受害者家屬他們一直等待的慰藉。

For more on this, let's bring in aviation journalist Andreas Speed.

更多關於這件事，我們請來航空記者 Andreas Speed。

Andreas, why has the search for Flight MH370 proved so difficult?

Andreas，為什麼尋找 MH370 班機的過程如此困難？

Because we are basically still looking for the haystack.

因為我們基本上還在尋找那個稻草堆。

Normally you talk about finding a needle in a haystack, but

in this case, so many years after this aircraft disappeared, we are still looking for the haystack then to do the details and the detailed search for the needle, AKA the plane.

在這種情況下，飛機失蹤這麼多年了，我們還在找那個稻草堆，然後才能仔細搜尋那根針，也就是飛機。

We have these satellite transmission data from the original flight only once hourly were performed and were then measured later on.

我們只有原始飛行時每小時一次的衛星傳輸數據，而且這些數據後來才被測量出來。

But it's still difficult to define the exact and most likely area in this vast amount of Indian Ocean space and area west of Australia to actually find the most spot, even where search would mostly most likely be warranted.

但要在印度洋廣闊的空間和澳洲西邊的區域內，定義出最精確、最有可能的區域，甚至找到最有可能進行搜索的地點，仍然很困難。

It's been over 10 years now since MH370 disappeared.

Has the likelihood of finding it diminished over that time?

找到它的可能性在這段時間裡有降低嗎？

That's why we are now seeing another search.

這就是為什麼我們現在看到又一次的搜索行動。

And there's still hope that this mystery, this huge mystery, might be solved one day.

而且仍然有希望，這個謎團，這個巨大的謎團，有一天可能會被解開。

I mean, after all, the Titanic took almost 100 years to find.

畢竟鐵達尼號也花了將近一百年才找到。

I have a gut feeling it won't take the long in this case of MH370, hopefully.

我有種預感，MH370 應該不會花那麼久，希望如此。

But still, of course there's no magic bullet here of like not even that much.

但說實話，這裡並沒有什麼神奇的解決方法，甚至不是那麼容易。

New insights of now we have probably found the right spot right away.

現在有了新的見解，我們可能一開始就找到了正確的地點。

這仍然是一片廣闊的區域，但是

already in past years, an area about one third the size of Germany has been searched already in vain.

在過去幾年裡，已經搜尋過面積約等於德國三分之一的區域，但都徒勞無功。

But now, after all these years, we have refined information, newly kind of elaborated scientific ways of charting the probable, most probable cause of the aircraft that fateful day.

但現在，經過這麼多年，我們有了更精確的資訊，以新近闡述的科學方法，描繪出那天那架飛機最有可能的墜落地點。

And right now there's a fairly small area being searched of about 15,000 square kilometers, which is a bit bigger than the state of Qatar.

而目前正在搜尋的區域相當小，大約一萬五千平方公里，比卡達國還要大一點。

So it's a fairly confined area of search right now.

15,000 square kilometers, that still sounds sizable.

一萬五千平方公里，聽起來還是很大。

What more can you tell us about this new search that's getting underway and what role that technology is playing in this effort to locate the missing aircraft?

您還能多告訴我們一些關於這次新展開的搜尋，以及科技在尋找失蹤班機的過程中扮演了什麼角色嗎？

Yes, there's this very well received company doing this search.

是的，有一家評價很好的公司正在進行這次搜尋。

The Malaysian government has authorized it on a no fee, no fine basis, and

馬來西亞政府已授權他們進行搜尋，並且是基於「不成功不收費」的原則，

this company has even invested in new ships and new technology.

而且這家公司甚至投資了新的船隻和新科技。

Ocean Infinity is the name of the company and they are rewarded.

這家公司的名字是 Ocean Infinity，他們是有報酬的。

They are promised a reward of US$70 million in case they do find the wreckage.

如果他們找到殘骸，將獲得七千萬美元的獎金。

So it's all but certain that will ever be successful.

所以幾乎可以確定他們會成功。

But at least they are armed with really new technology, new ships, and

但至少他們擁有非常新的科技、新的船隻，而且

most of the actual searching is done autonomously by underwater vehicles that actually search the seabed and can even look below sediment.

大部分的實際搜尋都是由水下載具自主進行，牠們會搜尋海床，甚至能探測沉積物下方。

So even if possible, wreckage parts might be cover by sediments on the sea floor.

所以即使有殘骸，也可能被海底的沉積物覆蓋。

These machines can actually look beyond the sediment and kind of scan the grounds.

這些機器 actually 可以穿透沉積物，掃描海底。

So all this is really sophisticated equipment and yeah, we can only hope that it actually will make a difference.

所以這一切都是非常先進的設備，嗯，我們只能希望它真的能帶來改變。

Andreas, thank you very much for your insights.

Journalist Katie Silver has followed the search for MH370 over the years and she told me why this latest hunt for the missing flight is taking place.

記者 Katie Silver 多年來一直追蹤 MH370 的搜救行動，她告訴我這次失蹤班機的最新搜救行動為何展開。

They tried then, the weather wasn't good enough.

他們當時嘗試了，但天氣不夠好。

Now they say that it should be good enough now for this next 55 days in order to conduct the search.

他們現在說，接下來的 55 天天氣應該夠好了，可以進行搜救。

Part of it as well is an agreement with the company Ocean Infinity.

這其中也包括和 Ocean Infinity 這家公司達成的協議。

They say, for example, now that they have better technology so that they're going to be able to cover this better.

他們說，舉例來說，現在他們有更好的技術，能夠更好地涵蓋搜救範圍。

They also have reduced the area they're searching.

So at one point they were searching up to 120,000 square kilometers.

所以有一段時間，他們的搜救範圍高達 12 萬平方公里。

這是一個不可能完成的搜尋面積。

Now they've reduced it to about 15,000 square kilometers, so close to about 10% of the initial search size.

現在他們已經縮小到大約 1 萬 5 千平方公里，也就是最初搜救面積的 10% 左右。

And of course, 239 people were on board that flight.

For much of the world, perhaps they haven't thought about MH370 that much.

對於世界上許多地方的人來說，或許他們沒有太常想到 MH370。

But for people in Malaysia, this has certainly not gone away.

但對馬來西亞人來說，這件事絕對沒有過去。

There were also about 150 Chinese nationals as well.

機上還有大約 150 名中國籍乘客。

So with these families waiting now almost 12 years for answers, the Malaysian government is still very much top of mind.

所以，在這些家屬苦等了將近 12 年尋求答案的同時，馬來西亞政府仍然是他們心中的重中之重。

Absolutely an agonizing way to say the least.

絕對可以說是極度痛苦的煎熬。

How does this new technology work that Ocean Infinity will use to resume the search?

Ocean Infinity 將使用的這項新技術，是如何運作來恢復搜尋的呢？

So they have 6,000 what are called Hugin underwater autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs.

他們有 6,000 具所謂的 Hugin 自主水下載具，也就是 AUVs。

And what they do is they can emit sonar or echoes or different acoustic waves under the sea floor.

它們的作用是能發射聲納、回聲或不同的聲波到海床下。

About 6 km under the sea floor they can operate and they use this to bounce it off objects on the sea floor to make a 3D map.

他們能在海床下約 6 公里處作業，並利用這個原理讓聲波從海床上的物體反射回來，繪製出 3D 地圖。

So even if it's dark, for example, they can make this map.

所以就算在黑暗中，他們也能繪製出這張地圖。

So they can map potentially pretty significant regions around each of these 6,000 auvs.

所以他們可以繪製出，圍繞著這 6,000 具 AUVs 的、潛在非常廣大的區域。

To give you an idea, they're worth about $8 million apiece.

讓你們有個概念，它們單價大約是 800 萬美元。

所以這是非常、非常先進的技術。

它們的操作方式幾乎就像無人機一樣。

They're operated remotely above, above each of these, in the, in the ship above, there'll be somebody operating this, this technology.

它們由上方遠端操作，在船上會有人操作這項技術。

That information is then transferred back up and they can use that in real time to then operate these hugens down below on the sea floors, transferring that information to and from.

這些資訊接著會傳送回來，他們可以即時利用這些資訊，來操作海床下的 Hugin，進行資訊的雙向傳輸。

Certainly very, very complicated but very novel and doesn't allow for this search to continue in a way that wasn't possible in the past.

當然非常、非常複雜，但非常新穎，讓這次搜尋得以用過去不可能的方式繼續進行。

Tell us how much hope this use of this technology is, is generating.

告訴我們這項技術的使用，能帶來多少希望。

Well, I think many experts who followed this for a long time say they're cautiously optimistic.

嗯，我認為許多長期關注此事的專家都表示，他們抱持謹慎樂觀的態度。

By reducing the search size, there is a hope that that may yield some results.

透過縮小搜尋範圍，希望能有所發現。

It's still very, very challenging to give you an idea.

這仍然非常、非常困難，讓您有個概念。

Some of these, you know, whilst it may map an area 6 km below the ground, there are for example, quarries and canyons that can run 300 met.

其中一些，你知道，雖然它可以繪製地面下方 6 公里的區域，但也有例如採石場和峽谷，它們可能深達 300 公尺。

So some of the information, the black box, for example, which of course still hadn't been found, as well as significant parts of the plane's engine and wings, they well could be down quarries and canyons.

所以有些資訊，像是黑盒子，當然還沒找到，以及飛機引擎和機翼的重要部分，它們很可能就在採石場和峽谷裡。

So there is still a lot of fear and a lot of trepidation, particularly of course, for the family members and the Malaysian government and of course the airline themselves.

所以仍然有很多恐懼和不安，特別是對於家屬、馬來西亞政府和航空公司本身。

But they do say that this is the greatest hope they've had.

但他們確實表示，這是他們最大的希望。

And of course, for the company, they're putting themselves on the line here.

當然，對這家公司來說，他們也將自己置於風險之中。

And they wouldn't do it, I guess, if they didn't think they could find it.

我想，如果他們不認為自己能找到，他們就不會這麼做。

他們過去也曾有一些成功經驗。

To give you an idea, in the Falklands, back in 2022, they found a wreckage there that previously wasn't found because of this technology.

讓您有個概念，在 2022 年的福克蘭群島，他們就利用這項技術找到了一處先前未被發現的殘骸。
