9月5日上午，印度尼西亚一架波音737客机在北苏门答腊省首府棉兰市博罗尼亚机场起飞时坠毁，目前事故已造成147人死亡。请看报道：

Seconds after takeoff, an Indonesian airliner¹ shook violently, veered² to the left and slammed into a bustling³ neighborhood Monday, bursting into flames and killing⁴ at least 147 people - many on the ground.

Up to 16 passengers survived the crash, including an 18-month-old shielded by his mother's arms.

The Mandala Airlines plane went down 500 yards from the Medan airport in north Sumatra, shoving aside cars and motorcycles before plowing⁵ into a row of houses. Witnesses said some people were on fire as they fled the shattered wreckage⁶.

bustling的本义是"熙熙攘攘的；忙碌的"，在上文中的意思是"人口稠密的"。请看例句：A bustling young man led them into the funeral parlour.（一个忙碌的小伙子将他们领进了葬礼接待室。）另外,bustling还有"充满活力的"的含义，如：The house, usually bustling with activity, was strangely silent.（平时总是充满活力的房间里安静得让人感到奇怪。）
