内塔尼亚胡表示，在飞行员被刺后，目前尚难判断谁应对这起明显的坠机未遂事件负责，尽管以色列驻联合国大使将该事件称为“恐怖袭击”。飞迪拜航空表示，在调查期间将暂停往返以色列的航班。
Netanyahu says it is too early to tell who was behind the apparent attempt to crash flight after pilot stabbed Good morning. Benjamin Netanyahu has said it is too early to tell who was ultimately behind the apparent attempt to crash a Tel Aviv-bound flydubai flight, even as Israel’s ambassador to the UN called the incident a “terror attack”. Flydubai said its flights to and from Israel would be suspended while an investigation takes place.
驾驶舱内据信发生了什么？来自孟买的印度公民飞行员斯米特·马奇哈尔被誉为英雄，他在副驾驶（据报为阿曼籍）刺伤他并导致飞机在不到30秒内骤降近14,000英尺（4,267米）后，打开驾驶舱门让乘客进入以夺回飞机控制权。
What is believed to have taken place in the cockpit? Pilot Smit Machchhar, an Indian citizen from Mumbai, has been hailed as a hero after releasing the cockpit door to allow passengers in to wrestle back control of the plane, after his co-pilot – reportedly an Omani national – stabbed him and sent the jet plunging nearly 14,000ft (4,267 metres) in less than 30 seconds.
接下来发生了什么？一名乘客表示：“有两名备用飞行员本应执行下一班航班。替补飞行员……进入[驾驶舱]，拉起飞机，拉动操纵杆，稳定了飞机，并将我们降落在沙特阿拉伯。”
What happened next? One passenger said: “There were two spare pilots who were supposed to operate the next flight. The relief pilots … entered [the cockpit] and pulled the aircraft up, pulled the yoke, stabilised the plane and landed us in Saudi Arabia.”
唐纳德·特朗普有何反应？总统表示：“副驾驶似乎可能是一名恐怖分子，或者只是一个疯子，他刺伤了飞行员。”
How has Donald Trump responded? The president said: “It seems as though the co-pilot was perhaps a terrorist, or perhaps a whack-job, and he stabbed the pilot.”
为什么派克的死刑判决如此具有争议性？正如埃德·皮尔金顿上个月为《卫报》报道的那样，在犯罪发生时她18岁，而同案被告17岁。这种年龄差异意味着后者免除了死刑。派克在那个年纪已经遭受了严重的虐待，包括被三名不同的男子多次强奸以及被多名亲属殴打。
Why has the death sentence for Pike been so controversial? As Ed Pilkington reported for the Guardian last month, at the time of the crime she was 18, and her co-accused was 17. That age difference meant he was spared the death penalty. Pike, at that age, had already been subjected to serious abuse, including multiple rapes by three separate men and beatings by numerous relatives.
