还记得前段时间柯洁落败阿尔法狗时,童鞋们热烈建议拔电源么?英国航空公司最近就出了这么一档子乌龙。由于承包商意外关闭数据中心电源(shut down of power supply unit),英航被迫近取消了公众假期周末期间从伦敦的希思罗和盖特威克机场出发的所有航班,大约75000名乘客受到影响(这些可怜人的假期……)。虽然目前事故仍在调查中,但据悉本次故障应是人为错误而非设备故障。因为若是设备故障会自动触发备用电源(backup power supply),像英航如此大规模的企业具有完善的事故管理系统(incident management system),却一个应急方案都没有启用,所以业界专家普遍认为是承包商的员工拔了电源(blamed this power fiasco on staff blunder)。英航被指责为削减成本外包IT工作,间接导致了此次事故。目前估计英航此次需支付的赔偿金可能高达1亿多英镑。

今天的句子:

At least 700 flights were cancelled at Heathrow and Gatwick over the bank holiday weekend when the sudden loss of power to BA's two main data centres led to the loss of all information about flights, baggage and passengers.

词汇突破:

1.Flight 航班

Bank holiday公众假日(bank holiday原来是英格兰银行规定的一系列假日,后来扩充发展成全民放假的标准,所以现在法定假日也惯称为bank holiday。)

2.Loss of power 停电

3.Data centre数据中心(centre是英式拼法;center是美式拼法)

4.Baggage 行李

确定主干:

At least 700 flights were cancelled at Heathrow and Gatwick

切分成分

1.over the bank holiday weekend

2. when the sudden loss of power to BA's two main data centres led to the loss of all information about flights, baggage and passengers.

(led to 是后置定语修饰 the sudden loss)

参考译文:在公众假期周末期间,英国航空公司的两个方根数据中心突然停电,导致关于航班、行李和乘客的所有信息丢失,希思罗和盖特威克机场至少700次航班被取消。


明天的句子:

In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration has approved three prescription treatments since 2009: Ulesfia, which contains high levels of alcohol and kills the lice essentially by suffocating them;Natroba, which overexcites nerve cells by activating their nicotinic acetylcholine receptors; and Sklice, which inhibits nerve impulses by activating their glutamate chloride channels.
