An airplane that crashed in Indonesia late December was climbing at “beyond normal” speed before it pitched into the Java Sea, the country’s transportation minister said Tuesday.
印尼交通部長(zhǎng)周二表示，12月底墜毀的飛機(jī)在墜入爪哇海前曾超速爬升。

Ignasius Jonan told a hearing into the AirAsia Flight 8501 crash that the plane?stalled?after climbing at 6,000 feet per minute—faster than a fighter jet, the Jakarta Post reports. 162 passengers and crew are believed dead.
雅加達(dá)郵報(bào)報(bào)道，伊格納希尤斯·喬南在亞航8501航班墜機(jī)聽(tīng)證會(huì)上說(shuō)，飛機(jī)曾以每分鐘6000英尺的速度爬升，這一速度甚至超過(guò)了戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)。隨后飛機(jī)熄火。預(yù)計(jì)162名乘客和機(jī)組人員中無(wú)人生還。

“The average speed of a commercial aircraft is probably between 1,000 and 2,000 feet per minute, because the aircraft is not designed to?soar?so fast,” he said.
伊格納希尤斯·喬南說(shuō)：“由于設(shè)計(jì)原因，商用飛機(jī)的平均速度一般在每分鐘1000到2000英尺之間?！?/div>

The update comes a week after the recovery of the plane’s “black boxes,” a flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.
該消息是在飛機(jī)黑匣子被發(fā)現(xiàn)后一周發(fā)布的。黑匣子中記錄了飛機(jī)的數(shù)據(jù)和飛行員的錄音。

Investigators have ruled out terrorism after reviewing the black boxes and are considering human error, technical?malfunction?and inclement weather as possible causes for the steep climb and the crash.
調(diào)查人員在檢查黑匣子后排除了恐怖襲擊的可能性。他們認(rèn)為可能是人為失誤、機(jī)械故障和惡劣天氣導(dǎo)致了飛機(jī)急速爬升并墜毀。
