911事件14周年，93航班纪念园游客中心开放

 　　Sitting on a hill overlooking the crash site near Shanksville, the $26 million visitor center complex was dedicated 1 and opened to the public on Thursday, one day before the annual 9/11 observances in Pennsylvania, New York and Washington. Victims' family members got a private tour on Wednesday.

　　当地时间9月10，斥资2600万美元建造的93航班纪念园游客中心对外开放。游客中心坐落在尚克斯维尔镇附近一座山上，可以俯瞰93航班失事地点。9月9日，园方专为遇难者家属安排了参观活动。9月11日，宾夕法尼亚州、纽约、华盛顿三地将举行911事件周年悼念活动。
　　Fourteen years in the making, the center uses photos, video, artifacts and interactive 2 displays to tell the story of Flight 93, the only jetliner among the four commandeered by terrorists that failed to reach its intended target on Sept. 11, 2001. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York and one slammed into the Pentagon outside Washington. Nearly 3,000 people died.
　　耗时14年建造而成的游客中心用图片、影像资料、工艺品、交互显示等方式讲述了93航班的故事。2001年9月11日，恐怖分子共劫持了4架飞机，93航班是唯一一架未抵达攻击目的地的客机。其中两架飞机撞毁了纽约世贸中心双子塔，另一架撞毁华盛顿五角大楼一角。911事件导致近3000人遇难。

　　The center's 10 exhibits are laid out chronologically 3, with visitors learning how the 33 passengers and seven crew members voted to charge the cockpit and then fought to regain 4 control of the plane, whose hijackers are believed to have wanted to crash it into the U.S. Capitol.
　　游客中心共设10个展览，按时间顺序陈列，参观者由此可以了解机上33名乘客和7名机组人员是如何一致决定闯入驾驶室夺回飞机操控权。劫机者的原定攻击目标是美国议会大厦。

　　一个视频资料记录了当时飞机的颠簸状态，飞机坠毁时，画面一片漆黑。玻璃橱窗下展出了部分飞机残骸。
　　Picking up a handset, visitors can listen to recordings 7 of the voice messages that two passengers and a flight attendant left for family members minutes before the plane went down.
　　拿起电话听筒，参观者可以听到两名乘客、一名乘客在坠机前与家人的通话录音。
　　"I'm on United 93 and it’s been hijacked 8 by terrorists who say they have a bomb," passenger Linda Gronlund, calling her sister Elsa, begins matter-of-factly. "Apparently 9 they have flown a couple of planes into the World Trade Center already and it looks like they're going to take this one down as well." She breaks down sobbing 10: "Mostly I just wanted to say I love you and I'm going to miss you."
　　乘客琳达·郎兰德打给妹妹（姐姐）爱尔莎的电话一接通，她便如实相告：“我现在美联航93航班上，飞机被恐怖分子劫持了，他们说身上有炸弹……显然，他们劫持了好几架飞机，已经撞到世贸中心了！好像他们也要撞毁现在这架。”她哽咽着说道：“我最想跟你说就是，我爱你！我会想你的！”
　　Other displays trace the recovery and investigation 11.
　　其他展品是关于911事件后的恢复和调查工作的。
　　The center's stark 12, 40-foot exterior 13 concrete walls are split by a black granite 14 walkway that marks the doomed 15 plane's flight path. Visitors are led through the exhibits to an outdoor platform that offers a commanding view of the crash site and surrounding hills.
