   随着冰岛火山灰对欧洲空中交通影响的逐步减弱,欧洲的领空上周三重新开放。各家航空公司想方设法清理因大量冰岛火山灰云影响而停飞的积压航班。


  请看外电的报道:
  Many European flights took to the skies Tuesday for the first time in days but the travel chaos 1 was far from over: London's airports remained shut, a massive flight backlog 2 was growing and scientists feared that history could repeat itself with yet another volcanic 3 eruption 4 in Iceland.
  上周二,欧洲很多航班在停飞数天后首度飞上蓝天,但交通混乱状况远未结束:伦敦机场仍然关闭,积压航班数量非常大且呈上升趋势。科学家担心如果冰岛再有火山喷发,这一历史将重演。
  文中的flight backlog就是指“积压航班”,backlog即用来形容“积压的工作(backlog of work)、待办的事项。”商务活动中出现的“订单积压”也可以用backlog of orders来表示。在冰岛火山爆发后,受volcanic ash cloud(火山灰云)影响,欧洲各国实行了air control(航空管制),实现某时间段内blanket closure of airspace(全面禁航),造成了大量的stranded passengers(滞留旅客)。
  我们搭乘班机时,最熟悉的就是flight attendant(空服人员)和flight crew(机组人员)。在情况紧急时,有些人会选择chartered flight(包机),这也被形象地称为“打飞的”。飞行事故后,地面人员会检查black box(黑匣子,航空飞行记录器。里面装有飞行数据记录器和舱声录音器)来确定事故原因。
