基礎被動語態

Breaking out of El Paso, Texas, where, in a rare move, the airspace is now closed for 10 days.

在德州艾爾帕索，機場出現罕見情況，將關閉十天。

The FAA is halting all flights to and from El Paso International citing, quote, special security reasons.

FAA 以「特殊安全理由」為由，暫停所有往返艾爾帕索國際機場的班機。

程度副詞

It's a move that even shocked flight crews when they heard for El Paso is going to be shut down to air traffic for security reasons.

這個舉動連機組人員都感到驚訝，他們聽到艾爾帕索將因安全理由關閉空域。

Do you know if there's any exceptions for medevac status?

It's a complete ground stop and it's a complete ground stop.

這是全面的 ground stop，而且是全面的 ground stop。

The restrictions will also apply to part of southern New Mexico.

這項限制也將適用於新墨西哥州南部部分地區。

Experts say the US hasn't closed airspace for security since the 911 terror attacks.

專家說，自從 911 terror attacks 後，美國就沒有因為安全關閉領空了。

Joining me now to discuss is Mary Schiavo, CNN aviation analyst and former inspector general at the U.S.

現在加入我們討論的是 CNN aviation analyst，也是美國交通部前 inspector general 的 Mary Schiavo。

Mary，非常感謝您。我注意到那些航管員，他們問的問題跟我們一樣。

Mary, thank you so much for what I notice with those air traffic controllers is they're asking what we're asking.

他們說不知道，他們不知道有什麼原因，但就是沒有例外，連 medevac 都不行。

And they say no, not that they know, but that there's no exceptions, not even medevac.

而且就像您說的，自從 2001年9月11日 以來就沒有發生過。

And like you mentioned, not since September 11, 2001.

但請記得，2001年9月11日 的 grounding 已經太遲了。

But remember, the grounding of September 11, 2001 came too late.

And the FAA is often criticized for being reactive, not proactive.

而且 FAA 常常被批評是反應過度，而不是積極主動。

the reason it doesn't happen very often is the FAA and of course TSA and national security intel agencies have to have a credible threat or a high significant security risk.

之所以不常發生，是因為 FAA，當然還有 TSA 和國家安全情報機構，必須要有可信威脅或高度重大安全風險。

And that means they have information that something would endanger the air traffic above El Paso in the area or it poses a danger from the air to people on the ground.

這表示他們有資訊顯示有什麼會危及 El Paso 上空的飛行，或對地面上的人構成威脅。

And the threat has to show they have some ability to do it.

而且威脅必須顯示他們有能力做到。

And then also it could be military exercises, it could be in support of law enforcement.

而且也可能是軍事演習，也可能是為了支援執法。

The FAA can do that for those reasons as well.

FAA 也會因為這些原因而這樣做。

Or they can do it if they have foreign intelligence that they don't have all the details yet, but

或者，如果他們有外國情報，雖然還沒有全部細節，但

they have enough from a foreign intelligence source trustworthy that something presents a huge risk and more details to follow.

他們從一個值得信賴的外國情報來源獲得足夠的資訊，顯示有巨大的風險，後續會有更多細節。

So there are many reasons that you need to.

所以有很多原因你需要這樣做。

Because there was something specific in the alert, which was notice to airmen.

因為那個警報裡有特別提到，就是航行社告。

It talks about the airspace being closed and then it has this warning for pilots that, quote, the United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat.

它提到領空將關閉，然後對飛行員發出警告，引述說，如果判定飛機對國家安全構成迫在眉睫的威脅，美國政府可能會對飛行中的飛機使用致命武力。

嗯，是的，在非常嚴重的狀況下是。

For example, that was language after September 11th.

舉例來說，這是911 terror attacks之後的說法。

If you stray too close, even as a private pilot, to air bases or facilities where you may not go, they will usually send an escort.

如果你太靠近，即使是私人飛行員，靠近你可能不能去的空軍基地或設施，他們通常會派人護送。

Sometimes they send an escort just for training.

有時候他們派人護送只是為了訓練。

And it's certainly part of the protocol when the threat is serious.

而且當威脅嚴重時，這當然是標準程序的一部分。

A local reporter actually told CNN that they were able to get through to the faa.

有位當地記者告訴CNN，他們成功聯繫上了FAA。

I was able to get through to an FAA official who actually was the one who put out the notice.

我成功聯繫到一位FAA官員，他正是發布該航行社告的人。

He couldn't even tell me what it was about, not because he didn't want to, but

他甚至無法告訴我具體內容，不是因為他不想，而是

He was just told, get this notice out now.

他只被告知，快把這份航行社告發出去。

And so it's this area around El Paso International Airport, and

所以這是El Paso國際機場周邊的區域，而

El Paso is the nation's 23rd largest city.

Can you talk about how shutting down airspace can have ripple effects?

你可以談談關閉空域會造成什麼連鎖效應嗎？

And then also it's the airspace next to El Paso that covers some military airspace as well.

而且這也是El Paso旁邊的空域，涵蓋了一些軍事空域。

And that gives us a pretty big clue and extends up to a nearby mountain range.

這給了我們一個很重要的線索，而且延伸到附近的 रेंज。

it's not unusual that not everyone in the FAA would know because you have to have different levels of clearance.

FAA 裡不是每個人都知道這件事也不奇怪，因為需要不同等級的權限。

Just because you're cleared to work in the tower doesn't mean that you have the highest levels of intelligence clearance.

你只是被允許在塔臺工作，不代表你擁有最高等級的情報權限。

And this warning may have come through at a very high level, I mean, top secret and even levels above that.

這個警告可能是在非常高層級傳達的，我是說，最高機密，甚至比那還高。

There's going to be some people maybe online who are going to say, gee, this looks very close to this search people are doing for Nancy Guthrie and try to tie these news stories together.

可能會有人在網路上說，哇，這看起來跟他們在找 Nancy Guthrie 的搜尋很像，試圖將這些新聞連結在一起。

What would you offer people as they're learning this news this morning?

今天早上大家在得知這個消息時，你會給他們什麼建議呢？

Well, you know, first of all, the FAA can support law enforcement activities, but

嗯，你知道，首先，FAA 可以支援執法行動，但是

with the military base, not the base itself, but

關於軍事基地，不是基地本身，而是

this area nearby that cover some military activity and that it stops right at the Mexico border.

涵蓋了一些軍事活動的附近區域，而且它就停在墨西哥邊境。

I would suspect that it's not tied to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, but

我猜測這跟 Nancy Guthrie 的失蹤案沒有關聯，但是

they could do that if there was a need for it.

如果有需要的話，他們是可以這麼做的。

But the 10 day window tells us something is going on and they don't have the exact date pinpointed.

不過這個 10 天的時限告訴我們有事情正在發生，而且他們還沒辦法確定確切的日期。

our national intelligence is erring on the side of safety and security, as they should, and

我們的國家情報機構，正以安全為重，就像他們應該做的一樣，而且

a mistake that they don't want to repeat after September 11, 2001.

這是他們不想在 2001 年 9 月 11 日之後重蹈的覆轍。

I'm sure we'll be checking in more today.

我確定今天我們會再跟您連線。

Joining us now on the phone is Robert Moore, the founder and CEO of the independent news organization El Paso Matters.

現在透過電話加入我們的是 El Paso Matters 這家獨立新聞組織的創辦人兼執行長 Robert Moore。

What more can you share with us about this news?

關於這則新聞，你還能跟我們分享更多嗎？

It's a big mystery that local government officials were caught off guard by this.

地方政府官員對這件事措手不及，這真是個大謎團。

I think the military officials at Fort Bliss were, were caught off guard.

我想 Fort Bliss 的軍方官員們也措手不及。

But basically from what we understand that they're from a 10 mile radius around the El Paso International Airport.

但根據我們的瞭解，他們來自 El Paso 國際機場周圍 10 英里（約 16 公里）的範圍。

Now that includes military aircraft, medical evacuation helicopters, law enforcement.

這包括軍機、medevac 直升機、執法單位。

We've never obviously seen anything like this here, at least since 911 when everything was grounded.

顯然我們在這裡從未見過這樣的事，至少自從 911 停飛以來。

I was able to through to an FAA official who actually was the one who put out the notice and he said he couldn't even tell me what it was about, not because he didn't want to, but

我設法聯繫到一位 FAA 官員，他正是發布這則通知的人，他說他甚至無法告訴我這是關於什麼的，不是因為他不想，而是

He was just told get this notice out now.

他只是被告知要立刻發出這則通知。

And so it's this area around El Paso International Airport and El Paso is the nation's 23rd largest city.

所以這是在 El Paso 國際機場周邊的區域，而 El Paso 是美國第 23 大城市。

And then to the west of El Paso in southern New Mexico, there's another pretty large area along the Mexican border that's, that's also essentially a no fly zone.

然後在 El Paso 西邊，南新墨西哥州，沿著墨西哥邊境還有另一個相當大的區域，那裡基本上也是禁飛區。
