The Turkish military have reportedly shot down a Russian military aircraft on the border with Syria.
據(jù)報(bào)道，土耳其軍方在其與敘利亞接壤地區(qū)擊落一架俄羅斯軍用飛機(jī)。
Russia's defence ministry said an Su-24 had crashed on Syrian territory after being hit by fire from the ground, and that its pilots had managed to eject.
俄羅斯國(guó)防部稱，一架蘇-24戰(zhàn)機(jī)被擊中爆炸起火，于敘利亞境內(nèi)墜毀，機(jī)上的飛行員已經(jīng)跳傘。
But Turkish military officials said Turkish F-16s had shot down the plane after repeatedly warning its pilots they were violating Turkish airspace.
但是土耳其軍方官員說(shuō)，土耳其F-16s戰(zhàn)機(jī)此前多次發(fā)出警告俄方戰(zhàn)機(jī)，稱其侵犯了土耳其領(lǐng)空后才打下了這架飛機(jī)。
Video footage showed the plane crashing into mountains in Latakia province.
錄像片段顯示飛機(jī)在敘利亞拉塔基亞省的山脈附近墜毀。
Russia launched an air campaign to bolster Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government in late September.
去年九月，俄羅斯發(fā)起了空戰(zhàn)以支持?jǐn)⒗麃喛偨y(tǒng)巴沙爾·阿薩德政府。
The Russian defence ministry confirmed on Tuesday morning that a Russian Su-24 had "crashed on Syrian territory, having been hit from the ground" while it was flying at an altitude of 6,000m (19,685ft).
俄羅斯國(guó)防部于周二上午確認(rèn)一架俄方蘇-24戰(zhàn)機(jī)在海拔6000米（19685英尺）高度飛行之際，“受到地面攻擊，于敘利亞境內(nèi)墜毀”。
"Efforts are being made to ascertain what happened to the pilots. According to preliminary reports, the pilots have managed to self-eject," the ministry was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
國(guó)際文傳通訊社援引俄國(guó)防部的發(fā)言稱：“（俄方）正在努力調(diào)查飛行員們?cè)庥隽耸裁础８鶕?jù)先前的報(bào)告，飛行員已經(jīng)在爆炸前跳傘逃生。”
This is exactly the kind of incident that many have feared since Russia launched its air operations in Syria. The dangers of operating near to the Turkish border have been all too apparent. Turkish planes have already shot down at least one Syrian air force jet and possibly a helicopter as well.
此次事故正應(yīng)驗(yàn)了先前諸多關(guān)于俄羅斯在敘利亞實(shí)施空襲的擔(dān)憂。在土耳其邊境開展軍事行動(dòng)的危險(xiǎn)顯而易見。土耳其戰(zhàn)機(jī)已經(jīng)擊落了至少有一架敘利亞空軍飛機(jī)，可能還包括一架直升飛機(jī)。
Russia insists that its warplane did not violate Turkish air space. So, was the Russian pilot's navigation wrong? Questions will also be asked about the readiness of the Turks to open fire.
俄羅斯方面堅(jiān)稱其戰(zhàn)機(jī)并未進(jìn)入土耳其領(lǐng)空。所以，是俄方飛行員的導(dǎo)航出了問題嗎？土耳其能夠如此迅速地開火也留下諸多疑問。
It suggests that the much discussed arrangements to avoid incidents between warplanes over Syria are inadequate. The Turkish authorities will no doubt claim that such arrangements do not cover the approaches to their own airspace where tried and tested procedures should apply.
此次事故表明此前商討用于規(guī)避事故的戰(zhàn)機(jī)安排并不完善。土耳其官方必然會(huì)宣稱這些安排并不包括接近其用于測(cè)試演習(xí)的領(lǐng)空。
There are conflicting reports as to whether it was ground fire or Turkish jets that brought down the Russian plane. Air operations in the crowded skies over Syria just got a good deal more complicated. The only mitigating factor is that initial reports suggest that two parachutes were seen so the Russian crew at least got out of their stricken aircraft. Expect diplomatic fireworks.
關(guān)于俄方戰(zhàn)機(jī)是被地面火力擊落還是被土耳其飛機(jī)擊落都有不同的報(bào)道。在敘利亞擁擠的領(lǐng)空實(shí)施空中作戰(zhàn)讓情形變得更加復(fù)雜。唯一緩和氣氛的是最初的報(bào)道，指明有人目擊到兩頂降落傘，所以至少俄方飛行員逃離了被擊中的飛機(jī)。而雙方在外交上的交涉也是如預(yù)期般擦槍走火。
The ministry stressed that "throughout its flight, the aircraft remained exclusively above Syrian territory", adding: "Objective monitoring data shows it."
俄國(guó)防部強(qiáng)調(diào)“在飛行過程中，俄方戰(zhàn)機(jī)只在敘利亞領(lǐng)土上方活動(dòng)。”并補(bǔ)充道：“監(jiān)控?cái)?shù)據(jù)能夠證明這件事。”
However, Turkish military officials said its F-16s had fired on an unidentified aircraft after warning it 10 times in the space of five minutes about violating Turkish airspace.
然而，土耳其軍方官員說(shuō)，土耳其F-16s戰(zhàn)機(jī)在距離土耳其領(lǐng)空還有五分鐘里程處曾發(fā)現(xiàn)一架身份不明的飛機(jī)，在向其發(fā)出警告十次無(wú)果以后才開火。
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, said the warplane crashed in a mountainous area of Latakia province, where air strikes and fighting between rebels and Syrian government forces had been reported earlier on Tuesday.
敘利亞人權(quán)觀察組織稱，戰(zhàn)機(jī)墜毀在拉塔基亞的山區(qū)地帶。本周二早些時(shí)候，此地也被報(bào)道發(fā)生了敘利亞政府和反叛軍之間的空襲和交戰(zhàn)。
Qatar-based Al Jazeera TV quoted an ethnic Turkmen rebel group as saying it had captured one of the Su-24's two pilots and were "looking for the other".
半島電視臺(tái)援引土庫(kù)曼族部隊(duì)的發(fā)言稱其已經(jīng)抓住機(jī)上的一名飛行員并正在“搜尋另一名飛行員的下落”。
Russian aircraft have flown hundreds of sorties over northern Syria since September. Moscow says they have targeted only "terrorists", but activists say its strikes have mainly hit Western-backed rebel groups.
自九月以來(lái)，俄羅斯戰(zhàn)機(jī)在敘利亞北部出動(dòng)了數(shù)百回。俄羅斯稱其只針對(duì)“恐怖分子”，然而有關(guān)人士稱其襲擊的主要目標(biāo)是受西方支持的叛亂軍。
Turkey, a staunch critic of Mr Assad, has warned against violations of its airspace by Russian and Syrian aircraft.
土耳其是阿薩德的強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)者，曾就俄羅斯以及敘利亞的飛機(jī)侵犯其領(lǐng)空發(fā)出過警告。
Last month, Ankara said Turkish F-16s had intercepted a Russian jet that crossed its border and two Turkish jets had been harassed by an unidentified Mig-29.
上月，土耳其稱其F-16s戰(zhàn)機(jī)攔截了一架穿過其邊境的俄羅斯戰(zhàn)機(jī)，并且土軍兩架戰(zhàn)機(jī)還曾受到一架不明身份的Mig-29的騷擾。
