卡塔尼亚机场的航班服务在周一延长了停飞时间，此前周末航班已受到干扰。附近埃特纳火山喷发出的厚重火山灰云促使当局暂停航班。我们对这次航班中断了解多少？
's Catania Aiport were extended on Monday, following disruptions to services over the weekend. A thick ash cloud emanating from the nearby Mount Etna volcano has prompted authorities to halt flights. What do we know about the disruption?
西西里岛机场运营商SAC表示，该枢纽的所有航班运营已暂停，至少持续到当地时间周一午夜（格林尼治标准时间/协调世界时22:00）。
The Sicilian aiport's operator, SAC, said that all flight operations at the hub had been suspended until at least midnight local time (2200 GMT/UTC) on Monday night.
该公司表示，在可能的情况下，进出港航班正转移至西西里岛的其他机场，即巴勒莫和科米索。卡塔尼亚是意大利第五繁忙的机场，也是西西里岛最大的航空枢纽。
It said that where possible arrivals and departures were transferring to Sicily's other airports in Palermo and Comiso. Catania is Italy's fifth-busiest airport, and Sicily's largest hub.

这座地中海岛屿是热门度假胜地，但今年夏天，由于火山喷发以及更常见的埃特纳火山喷出的火山灰，旅客频繁遭遇航班中断。来自该山东北火山口的火山灰正被风带向南方。
The Mediterranean island is a popular holiday destination but travelers have faced frequent disruptions this summer because of eruptions and more commonly because of ash emanating from Etna. Ash from the northeast crater of the mountain is being carried southward by the wind.
意大利国家地球物理与火山学研究所表示，这些火山灰似乎并不表明即将进入爆炸性喷发阶段。埃特纳火山是什么？
Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said the ash did not appear to indicate an imminent explosive phase. What is Mount Etna?
埃特纳火山是西西里岛东海岸的一座高约3400米（约11100英尺）的层状火山。它的精确高度不断变化，尤其是在高活动期，可能会减少几米。卡塔尼亚市位于其南部不远处。
Mount Etna is a roughly 3,400 meter (roughly 11,100 feet) stratovolcano on Sicily's eastern coast. Its precise height is ever changing, particularly amid periods of high activity when it can shed a few meters. The city of Catania is located not far to the south.
尽管存在危险，但定居在火山附近也有好处，比如土壤肥沃，这正是卡塔尼亚数百年来得以繁荣发展的原因。埃特纳火山是欧洲最高的活火山之一，也是阿尔卑斯山以南意大利的最高峰。
Despite the dangers, settling near volcanoes also has advantages like rich soil, hence Catania's success down the centuries Etna is one of the tallest active volcanoes in Europe and Italy's highest peak south of the Alps.
它几乎一直处于低水平活动状态，并相当频繁地以更明显的方式喷发。今年它已多次导致卡塔尼亚机场运营中断，近年来也是如此。作为联合国教科文组织世界遗产，埃特纳火山的首次火山活动发生在大约50万年前。
It's in an almost constant state of low-level activity and erupts in a more pronounced manner fairly frequently. It has caused disruptions at Catania airport several times this year, and in recent years A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the first volcanic activity took place at Etna about half a million years ago.
