16日发生的泰国空难已经造成89人死亡。目前失事飞机上的两个黑匣子已经在出事地点找到。那么，“黑匣子”怎么说呢？

请看外电相关报道：

The flight was carrying 123 passengers and seven crew members from the capital Bangkok to Phuket when it skidded¹ off the runway in driving rain. It then ran through a low retaining wall, split in two and burst into flames.

Investigators² said they had recovered the plane's two flight data recorders, known as "black boxes," and hoped they would yield some answers about the accident.

报道中说，这架由曼谷飞往普吉岛的航班搭载了123名乘客和7名机组人员。当时普吉岛刚下过暴雨，飞机降落时冲出跑道撞到墙上，断为两截，并发生爆炸。调查人员称，失事飞机的两个黑匣子已经找到，希望能帮助找出造成空难的原因。

这里的“black box” 就是“黑匣子”。人们通常把记录飞机飞行状况的器材叫做“黑匣子”，或称“flight data recorders”。黑匣子得名于这种密封良好的器材内部黑咕隆咚，而不是取其外表的颜色。
