Statement Of Don Carty
It is a sad day. Nothing grieves me more than2 to have to report to you that this morning, an American Airlines flight was lost in New York. I will be leaving for New York immediately to lead the American Airlines Care Team that is responding to today’s accident. Our primary concern will be to provide support to the families of our passengers and employees lost today, to all of our employees and to the people on the ground in NY.
At this time, we have no indication of what caused the accident. We have moved quickly to help organize the response and to support the investigation. Toward that end3 , I have already been in touch with Andrew Card at the White House and with Mayor Guiliani and Governor4 Pataki in New York, as well as with officials in Santo Domingo.
Let me just provide some basic facts about the flight today. It was American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A3005 aircraft en route6 from New York Kennedy to Santo Domingo. The airplane was lost today shortly after take off from Kennedy Airport. The preliminary passenger list indicated the aircraft carried 246 passengers and a crew of nine .
Family members wishing to receive information about passengers may contact American Airlines at our toll-free7 number at 800 245 0999.
As you would imagine, today’s news comes at a difficult time for the nation, for the airline industry and for American Airlines. Given the changed world we live in today, it will be as important as it has ever been to quickly and accurately determine the cause of this accident. First and foremost8 , however, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of our passengers and employees of those lost today. I will be leaving immediately for New York.

唐納德·卡蒂的聲明
這是不幸的一天。我懷著萬分悲痛的心情向各位宣布, 今天上午美洲航空公司的一架飛機(jī)在紐約失事。針對(duì)今天的事件,“ 美洲航空公司救援組”已經(jīng)組成, 我將立即趕往紐約主持救援工作。我們的工作重點(diǎn)是向航班上遇難乘客和機(jī)組人員的家屬, 向美洲航空公司的全體員工和飛機(jī)墜毀所殃及的紐約市民盡可能地提供幫助。
目前飛機(jī)失事的原因還不清楚。但是我們已經(jīng)對(duì)此次事故做出迅速的反應(yīng), 并且盡一切力量配合事故原因的調(diào)查工作。為此, 我已經(jīng)與布什政府參謀長(zhǎng)安德魯· 卡德、紐約市長(zhǎng)朱利安尼、紐約州州長(zhǎng)帕塔基以及多米尼加共和國(guó)首都圣多明各的官員取得了聯(lián)系。讓我來告訴大家一些關(guān)于此次飛行的基本情況。失事飛機(jī)是美洲航空公司587 次航班, 一架正從紐約肯尼迪機(jī)場(chǎng)飛往多米尼加共和國(guó)首都圣多明各的空中客車A300 型客機(jī)。此次航班從肯尼迪機(jī)場(chǎng)起飛后不久便墜毀, 乘客名單顯示航班上共有246 名乘客, 9 名機(jī)組人員。
乘客家屬可以撥打美洲航空公司的免費(fèi)電話800 - 245 - 0999 , 查詢機(jī)上乘客的有關(guān)具體情況。
1. 唐納德·卡蒂為美洲航空公司主席兼首席執(zhí)行官。
2. 沒什么比??更讓我難過的了, 等同于I feel the deepest sadness about . .. 。類似的表達(dá)方式
如: No one’s comment is more important than the President’s. ( 總統(tǒng)的評(píng)論最為重要。)
3. end n. 目的, 目標(biāo)。常見用法: with this end in view ( 抱著這一目的) ; to that end ( 因?yàn)槟莻�(gè)緣故, 為要達(dá)到那個(gè)目的所以) ; a means to an end ( 達(dá)到目的的手段) ; have an end inview ( 有所企圖) ; for this end ( 因這目的, 因此) ; end and aim ( 目的) ; be on the receiving end ( ① 接收別人的禮物。② 成為攻擊目標(biāo)。③ 處于接球的一方) 。
4. governor n. ( 美) 州長(zhǎng)。殖民地的總督。這個(gè)詞的陰性名詞governess 不是女州長(zhǎng)而是“ 家庭女教師”。
5. 空中客車A300 型客機(jī), 由英、法、西等歐洲國(guó)家聯(lián)合組建的飛機(jī)公司生產(chǎn), 是目前唯一能夠和美國(guó)波音公司的747 等客機(jī)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的產(chǎn)品。
6. en route ( 法語) = on route 在途中。
7. 受話人付費(fèi)電話, 打電話的人無需付費(fèi)。以800 開頭的電話號(hào)碼即屬此類電話, 但是有些號(hào)碼拒付長(zhǎng)途話費(fèi)。
8. foremost adv. 居于首位, 如: She ranks foremost among the country’s leading conductors. ( 他在國(guó)內(nèi)第一流指揮家中名列榜首。) 它亦可做形容詞, 表示“最著名的, 最重要的”, 如: the foremost painter of his time ( 在他那個(gè)時(shí)代首屈一指的畫家) 。
