3.LOST TOURIST SUBMERSIBLE HAS LESS THAN ONE DAY OF OXYGEN REMAINING

失联泰坦尼克号观光艇氧气即将耗尽

A Canadian military surveillance air-craft reported it had detected under-water noises while searching for the Titan, the missing submersible in the North Atlantic Ocean. Rescuers have been racing against the clock as the under-sea vessel【船舰】could run-out of oxygen as early as tomorrow morning. Stephen Rancourt has more.

加拿大军用侦察机在寻找于北大西洋海域失踪的潜水器“泰坦号”时发现了水下声音。失联潜水器的氧气将于明早即将耗尽，搜救人员正在与时间赛跑。本台记者Stephen Rancourt带来详细报道。

In underwater disasters, submariners unable to communicate with the surface will resort to banging on their vessel's hull in an effort to be detected by sonar. However, no official has publicly suggested that's the case, and noises underwater can come from a variety of sources.

在水下灾难中，无法与水面通信的船员将通过敲击潜水器的船体来试图被声纳探测到。然而，目前尚未有任何官员公开表示水下噪音为船员敲击船体声音，水下噪音可能有多种来源。

Questions remain about how teams would reach the Titan, which could be as deep as 12,500 feet below the surface near the wreck of the Titanic.

与此同时，关于如何接近失联的“泰坦号”潜水器仍存在疑问，该潜水器可能位于距深达海面以下约 12,500 英尺（3,800 米）的泰坦尼克号残骸附近。

Newly uncovered allegations【指控】 also suggest there had been significant warnings made about the submersible’s safety during its development.

此外，一些最新公开的说法表明，该潜水器在研发过程中曾被曝存在严重安全问题。

The crew aboard the Titan are Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, the company leading the expedition【考察】, Rush is said to be piloting the submersible. His passengers include a British adventurer, a Pakistani billionaire and his son, and a Deep-Sea dive specialist and Titanic expert from France.

搭乘泰坦号的船员包括海洋之门（OceanGate）公司的首席执行官斯托克顿·拉什（Stockton Rush），据报道拉什任该潜水器的驾驶员。他的乘客包括一位英国冒险家、一位巴基斯坦亿万富翁及其儿子，以及一位来自法国的深海潜水专家和泰坦尼克号专家。

Seven vessels from the US Coast Guard, the US Navy, the Canadian Coast Guard and OceanGate Expeditions are continuing to scour the North Atlantic.

目前，美国海岸警卫队、美国海军、加拿大海岸警卫队和海洋之门公司的七艘船只仍在北大西洋进行搜寻。

“Today, the vessel Deep Energy, 194-meter pipelay vessel arrived on scene with underwater ROV capability. They have rendezvoused with the vessel Polar Prince and commenced an ROV dive That operation is currently ongoing.”

“今天，一艘194米长的铺管船已抵达救援现场，它具有遥控无人潜水器功能。目前该船已与‘极地王子’号汇合，开始部署潜水探测。该行动仍在进行中。”

The Canadian military said it provided a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, including one that specializes in dive medicine. It also dropped sonar buoys to listen for any sounds from the Titan.

据加拿大军方表示，他们派遣了一架巡逻机和两艘水面舰艇参与搜救行动，其中包括一艘专门用于潜水医疗的舰艇。他们还投放了声纳浮标，以侦听来自泰坦号的任何声音。

Mike Reiss, a writer and producer for the Simpsons, detailed his time as a passenger aboard Titan, which he called a “Zen-like” experience.

《辛普森一家》的编剧和制片人迈克·里斯详细描述了他作为泰坦号潜水器的乘客的经历，他称之为一种“宁静至极”体验。

“One end is the porthole, and the porthole is only the size of the window on a small washing machine. That's your only place you gonna see it. So that was it. It was five of us in that space for 10 hours.”

“墙面的一侧还有个舷窗，只有洗衣机上的窗口那么大，你只能透过那看到外面，就这样。我们五个人就在那里面坐了十个小时。”

The submersible had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it put to sea around 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission. That means the oxygen supply could run out as early as Thursday morning.

“海洋之门”公司顾问戴维·康坎农（David Concannon）表示，“泰坦”号潜水器在周日上午6点出海时携带的的氧气供应仅可持续96小时，这就意味着该潜水器的氧气将在北京时间6月22日晚间耗尽。

The expedition was OceanGate’s third annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2,200 passengers and crew.

这次探险是海洋之门公司的第三次年度航行，旨在记录泰坦尼克号的腐蚀情况。泰坦尼克号在1912年撞上冰山后沉没，2200名乘客和船员中，只有大约700人幸存。

The lost tourist submersible went missing for over two hours on expedition last year, with a journalist who was on board saying that there’s no backup, there’s no escape pod, it's get to the surface or die.

这艘潜水器在去年的考察中也曾失踪超过两个小时，一名当时在潜水器中的记者称，舱内没有备用设备，也没有逃生舱，要么回到水面，要么就会丧生。
