弗莱迪拜航空航班遇险事件已过去三天，但那两名挺身而出协助稳定飞机并使其安全着陆的身着制服的机组人员至今仍未被公开身份。
Three days have passed since FlyDubai attack but the two uniformed crew members who stepped in to stabilize and land the lane are still not publicly identified.
耶路撒冷——究竟是谁在关键时刻出手，帮助弗莱迪拜航空的航班化险为夷？
JERUSALEM — Who are the mystery pilots who stepped in to stabilize the FlyDubai flight as it hurtled toward disaster?
截至周六，也就是那两名身着制服的机组人员冲进驾驶舱、协助控制这架载有182名乘客、正急速下坠的飞往以色列的飞机三天后，他们的身份依然未被公开。弗莱迪拜航空仅称他们为当时搭乘该航班的当值机组人员。目前尚不清楚为何航空公司没有透露更多细节。
As of Saturday, three days after the uniformed crew members rushed to the cockpit to steady the Israel-bound plane carrying 182 people after a sickening plummet, they still haven’t been publicly identified. FlyDubai has called them only on-duty crew members traveling on the plane. It’s not clear why the airline hasn’t said more.
不过，坐在飞机前排的一名乘客在接受美联社采访时描述了这两人的英勇举动，为我们呈现了这些无名英雄最详尽的行动过程。“这简直是个奇迹，”坐在第二排的丹尼尔·施利希特说道。
One passenger at the front of the plane, though, described the men’s actions in an interview with The Associated Press, giving one of the most detailed accounts of the yet-unsung heroes. “This is one of the miracles,” said Daniel Schlichter, who was seated in the second row.
“正常情况下航班上不会配备两名额外的飞行员。这次他们之所以出现，是因为原本计划让这架飞机从特拉维夫返回迪拜，所以他们才随机同行。”这种做法在航空业内被称为“义务飞行”。
“That not in every flight they bring two extra pilots. In this case, they brought them because they should have brought the plane back from Tel Aviv to Dubai, and this is the only reason they were there.”The practice is called deadheading.
在惊恐万分的乘客们发现驾驶舱内发生的状况后，这两名男子迅速作出反应。据他们描述，副驾驶当时正不断攻击机长，驾驶舱内到处都是血迹。尽管身负重伤，机长还是设法打开了驾驶舱门。
The two men responded after screaming passengers discovered what was unfolding in the cockpit. They said the copilot was attacking the captain over and over, and blood was everywhere. The captain while badly wounded, managed to unlock the cockpit door.
施利希特称，一名乘客抓住副驾驶并将其拖出驾驶舱后，其他乘客也一起将其制服；就在这时，其中一名随机飞行的飞行员冲进混乱的人群，迅速进入驾驶舱并掌控了飞机控制权。
After a passenger grabbed the copilot and pulled him out, and others grappled with the man to subdue him, Schlichter said that one of the traveling pilots practically hurtled the scrum to enter the cockpit and seize the controls.
“他实际上跳到了那些正在制服恐怖分子的人的上方，然后迅速进入了驾驶舱并开始接管飞机的控制权，”施利希特说。“随后另一名飞行员也加入了他们的行动，他们关闭了驾驶舱的门，因为他们不希望其他人进入驾驶舱。”和其他人一样，施利希特也不清楚这两名男子的来历；不过无论第一个人是谁，他的行动都非常迅速。
“He was actually kind of jumping above the guys that were handling the terrorist, and he reached out to the pilot area and started to take over,” Schlichter said. “And then the other guy, the other pilot, joined in and they closed the door because they didn’t want anybody else to be there.”Schlichter, like others, wasn’t sure where the two men had come from. But whoever the first one was, he moved very quickly.
“他的行为真的像一个英雄——他迅速掌握了飞机的控制权，并且表现得仿佛完全了解发生了什么。我认为我们欠他的，不亚于那些在飞行过程中表现出色的其他英雄们的帮助。”施利希特说道。
“He acted really like a hero, taking over the plane and reacted like he understood exactly what is going on, and I think we owe him our lives not less than the other heroes that went on the flight,” Schlichter said.
当这两名男子进入驾驶舱并关闭门后，施利希特并不知道他们具体在驾驶舱里做了什么。由于飞机经历了剧烈的下降，导致部分方向舵被损坏，因此稳定飞机的过程花费了“好几分钟”（可能长达10分钟或更久）。
Once the two entered the cockpit and closed the door, Schlichter wasn’t sure who did what inside. It took “quite a lot of minutes,” maybe 10 or more, to stabilize the plane after a descent so extreme that part of its rudder was torn away.
在这段时间里，机组人员紧急发出了求救信号（Mayday信号），同时乘客们也感到非常恐慌并开始怀疑这两名男子的意图——他们是否值得信任。
A mayday call was made as the men frantically sought a place to land. Meanwhile, some of the frightened and wary passengers wondered about them and whether they could be trusted.
“在他们成功稳定了飞机的飞行状态后，他们并没有与我们进行任何沟通，说实话，我当时非常担心，”施利希特说。他担心情况会变得更糟——担心这两名男子可能会将飞机劫持到伊朗或其他地方（毕竟我们离那些地方并不远）。不过大约45分钟后，飞行员宣布他们将降落在沙特阿拉伯的塔布克机场，一切都会恢复正常。
“After they managed to stabilize the airplane, actually they did not have any communication with us, and I have to tell you, I was worried about this,” Schlichter said. He worried about an even worse situation — that the men might be “hijacking the plane into maybe Iran, or I don’t know where, because we’re actually not too far.”But after about 45 minutes, he said, the pilots announced that they would be landing in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, and everything was going to be OK.
听到这个消息后，施利希特决定相信他们。事实证明，他的判断是正确的。
With that, Schlichter said, he decided to trust them. And it turned out to be true.
