泰國失事客機“黑匣子”已找到

16日發生的泰國空難已經造成89人死亡。目前失事飛機上的兩個黑匣子已經在出事地點找到。那么，“黑匣子”怎么說呢？
請看外電相關報道：
The flight was carrying 123 passengers and seven crew members from the capital Bangkok to Phuket when it skidded off the runway in driving rain. It then ran through a low retaining wall, split in two and burst into flames.
Investigators said they had recovered the plane's two flight data recorders, known as "black boxes," and hoped they would yield some answers about the accident.
報道中說，這架由曼谷飛往普吉島的航班搭載了123名乘客和7名機組人員。當時普吉島剛下過暴雨，飛機降落時沖出跑道撞到墻上，斷為兩截，并發生爆炸。調查人員稱，失事飛機的兩個黑匣子已經找到，希望能幫助找出造成空難的原因。
這里的“black box” 就是“黑匣子”。人們通常把記錄飛機飛行狀況的器材叫做“黑匣子”，或稱“flight data recorders”。黑匣子得名于這種密封良好的器材內部黑咕隆咚，而不是取其外表的顏色。
