A Chinese airplane made an emergency landing Monday after its front window broke and one of its pilots was partly pulled out of the plane.

一架中國飛機在其前風擋破裂，一名飛行員被部分吸出飛機之后緊急著陸。

The Sichuan Airlines passenger flight took off from Chongqing, in southwest China. It was traveling to the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.

四川航空公司這趟客運航班是從中國西南部的重慶飛往西藏首府拉薩。

The airplane's other pilot, Liu Chuanjian, safely landed the plane in the city of Chengdu.

這架飛機的另一位飛行員劉傳建成功地將飛機降落在成都市。

Now, Liu is being called a hero in China.

現(xiàn)在，劉機長被傳為中國的英雄。

The plane was flying at a height of about 9,700 meters when an extremely loud sound was heard in the cockpit, Liu said. The cockpit experienced a sudden loss of air pressure and drop in temperature. When he looked over, Liu saw the cockpit's right window was gone.

劉機長表示，當駕駛艙內(nèi)傳來一聲巨響時，飛機正在大約9700米的高度飛行。駕駛艙內(nèi)突然失壓并降溫。當劉機長看過去時發(fā)現(xiàn)駕駛艙右風擋沒了。

Liu was reported as saying, "The next thing I know, my co-pilot had been sucked halfway out of the window."

據(jù)報道劉機長稱，“接著我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的副機長已經(jīng)被吸出了窗外。”

The co-pilot was wearing his seatbelt. He was able to be pulled back inside the plane. He suffered minor injuries. One other employee was injured in the incident.

這位副機長系了安全帶，得以被拉回飛機內(nèi)部，他受了輕傷。另外有一位機組人員在事故中受傷。

Liu took control. He had to land the plane manually because the automatic flight-control system stopped working. He safely landed the plane in Chengdu. None of the plane's 119 passengers were hurt, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said.

劉機長接過控制。因為自動飛行控制系統(tǒng)停止工作，他不得不手動降落。他成功地將飛機降落在成都。中國民航局稱飛機上119名乘客無人受傷。

One unnamed passenger told the government-run China News Service that airline workers had been serving passengers food when the plane began to shake. Oxygen masks dropped. The plane dropped for a few seconds before it "stabilized again."

一位不愿透露姓名的乘客告訴官方的中新社，當飛機開始晃動時，機組人員正在提供餐食服務(wù)。氧氣面罩掉了下來，飛機在穩(wěn)定下來之前下降了幾秒鐘。

The passenger said, "I'm still nervous. I don't dare to take an airplane anymore. But I'm also happy I had a narrow escape."

這位乘客表示：“我現(xiàn)在還很緊張。我不敢再坐飛機。但是我也很高興自己能夠死里逃生。”

The incident was a trending discussion Tuesday in China and around the world. Many are praising Liu for being able to land the plane. On the Chinese site Sina Weibo, users are writing messages with the hashtag #ChinaHeroPilot.

這起事件在周二引發(fā)了中國乃至全球的熱烈討論。很多人都對劉機長駕駛飛機平安著陸大加贊賞。在中文網(wǎng)站新浪微博上，用戶以“中國英雄機長”的標簽撰寫消息。

The Sichuan Airlines incident comes a month after an American passenger on a Southwest Airlines plane was partly sucked out after a window broke mid-flight. The passenger, Jennifer Riordan, later died.

四川航空公司這起事故之前的一個月，美國西南航空公司一架航班在飛行途中窗戶損壞，一位美國乘客被部分吸出到飛機。這位乘客珍妮佛·里奧丹(Jennifer Riordan)后來傷重不治。

Incidents involving partly broken windshields are somewhat common. They are usually caused by a bird or lightning striking the window. However, it is rare for an entire windshield to come off.

風擋玻璃部分破碎的事故很常見，通常是由鳥或閃電擊中窗戶引起的。然而，整個風擋玻璃脫落很少見。
