一架波音777如何体现伊朗的风险与韧性。特朗普政府称，所有伊朗航空公司都正在被“关闭”。那么，为什么这架大型客机仍在从德黑兰飞往东南亚？
How One Boeing 777 Exemplifies Iran’s Riskiness and Resilience The Trump administration says all Iranian airlines are being “shut down.”So why is this jumbo jet still flying from Tehran to Southeast Asia?
上周一，在胡志明市国际机场，几名讲波斯语的旅客拖着行李，走向一架执行德黑兰往返新航线的老旧波音777。很多人表示，他们知道这是一次冒险。
The travelers speaking Persian at Ho Chi Minh City’s international airport last Monday dragged their bags toward an old Boeing 777 flying a new route — to and from Tehran. Many said they recognized it was a risky venture.
这架飞机属于伊朗最大的私营航空公司马汉航空，是仍敢于无视美国扩大孤立伊朗行动的少数飞机之一。美国威胁要惩罚任何与伊朗航空公司有往来的实体。
The plane, owned by Mahan Air, Iran’s largest private carrier, is one of just a few still defying a widened American effort to isolate Iran with threats to punish any entity that engages with its airlines.
此前多年的制裁已禁止供应商向马汉航空销售零部件或提供服务，因此风险也涉及机械状况。
And because previous sanctions have barred suppliers from selling parts or services to Mahan for years, the dangers are also mechanical.
伊朗的老旧飞机——比如停在越南南部机场停机坪上的这架机龄23岁的客机——常被制裁问题专家形容为“随时可能酿成灾难的隐患”。
Iran’s aging aircraft — like the 23-year-old jetliner on the tarmac in southern Vietnam — are what sanctions experts often describe as “disasters waiting to happen.”
阿曼、土耳其和伊拉克已经停止接受马汉航空的航班，但越南以及另外几个国家没有这样做。
Oman, Turkey and Iraq have stopped accepting Mahan’s flights. But not Vietnam, nor a few others.
这架机尾编号为EP-MTE的波音777近期还曾停靠曼谷、北京和莫斯科。“即使你不愿意去想，危险也在你的脑海中。”即将离开胡志明市的66岁伊朗人阿米尔说。
Recent stops for the 777 with tail sign EP-MTE also included Bangkok, Beijing and Moscow. “Even if you don’t want to think about it, the danger is in your mind,” said Amir, 66, an Iranian in a golf shirt who was leaving Ho Chi Minh City, sharing only his first name to avoid trouble in Tehran.
他身穿高尔夫球衫，为避免在德黑兰惹麻烦，只透露了自己的名字。“希望我们能安全着陆。希望一切顺利。”
“Hopefully we’ll land safely. Hopefully nothing will happen.”
马汉航空这架老旧波音宽体机的经历，凸显了特朗普政府不断加码、将民用航空打造为胁迫工具所带来的风险。
The story of Mahan Air’s old Boeing wide-body illustrates the risks that come with the Trump administration’s amplified campaign to make civil aviation a tool for coercion.
根据文件、追踪数据以及 对航空和制裁专家的采访拼凑出的这架飞机的航行记录和声誉中，警示信号随处可见。
In the aircraft’s travel record and reputation — pieced together with documents, tracking data and interviews with aviation and sanctions experts — there are warning lights aplenty.
除了平民可能面临的危险之外，这一事件也透露出伊朗的韧性和第三方的抵制，表明在许多国家仍依赖中东能源的情况下，美国的威胁所能起的作用有限。
Alongside the potential danger for civilians are hints of Iranian resilience and third-party resistance that suggest American threats can only go so far when so many still rely on energy from the Middle East.
