For Cor Pan, a Dutch holidaymaker heading for Kuala Lumpur with his girlfriend, boarding a Malaysia Airlines flight was an irresistible opportunity for black humour.
對(duì)于荷蘭度假者科爾·潘來說,與女友乘坐馬航到吉隆坡度假,可是一次不能錯(cuò)過的制造黑色幽默的機(jī)會(huì)。

As he made his way down the sky bridge from gate G03 at Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport, he paused to take a picture of the Boeing 777-200 that he and his girlfriend were about to board.
在阿姆斯特丹的史基浦機(jī)場(chǎng),當(dāng)科爾走過G03號(hào)登機(jī)口的天橋時(shí),他停下腳步,拍下了他與女友即將乘坐的波音777-200號(hào)客機(jī)。

In a reference to the disappearance of flight MH370 in March, Mr Pan posted the picture on his Facebook page with the message: “If the plane disappears, this is what it looks like.”
由于三月份馬航MH370的失聯(lián)事件,潘先生在他Facebook的主頁上傳了這張照片,并配上文字:“如果這架飛機(jī)失蹤了,它長(zhǎng)這樣。”

His friends responded by wishing him a good holiday and reminding him to send back lots of photos, but within hours their messages would turn to fear, and then despair.
他的好友們紛紛回復(fù),希望他可以有一個(gè)愉快的假日,還叮囑他要多上傳一些照片。但是幾個(gè)小時(shí)后,他們的回復(fù)變成了擔(dān)心害怕,然后是絕望。

For the next 110 minutes, the flight was entirely uneventful. With a complement of 280 passengers and 15 crew, MH17 made its way over Germany, Poland and Ukraine, reaching its cruising altitude of 33,000 feet and flying straight and level, but at 1:21 p.m. radar contact was suddenly lost.
起飛后的110分鐘內(nèi),這趟航班還在平安無事地飛行。載有280名乘客和15名機(jī)組人員的MH17客機(jī),正沿著航線經(jīng)過德國(guó)、波蘭和烏克蘭,到達(dá)巡航高度33,000英尺的高空,直線平行飛行,但是在下午1時(shí)21分,雷達(dá)已經(jīng)與航班失聯(lián)。

On the ground, Igor Strelkov – also known as Igor Girkin – the leader of the pro-Russian separatists fighting the Ukrainian government forces for control of eastern Ukraine, used his page on the social networking site Vkontakte to boast that his men had just shot down an aircraft. In a message posted at 2.50 p.m. BST, he wrote: “In the district of Torez an An-26 was just shot down. It crashed somewhere near the Progress mine.
在地面上,烏克蘭東部親俄武裝頭目Igor Strelkov——又名Igor Girkin,在俄羅斯社交網(wǎng)站Vkontakte上炫耀其部隊(duì)擊落一架飛機(jī)。在英國(guó)夏令時(shí)的下午2時(shí)50分的時(shí)候,他寫道:“我們今天在Torez附近擊落一架安托洛夫26型飛機(jī)。地點(diǎn)在進(jìn)步礦場(chǎng)附近?!?/div>
