Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 343 Air crash that can be resolved in advance

Jiang Shan and Jiang Hai, who were standing at the entrance of the restaurant, lit two cigarettes as soon as they met.

Looking at the lively scene in the restaurant, Jiang Hai suddenly had an idea: "Lao San, as the leader of a news unit, this is the first time I have an impulsive idea."

The impulsiveness turned out to be a brat. Jiang Shan smiled and puffed out smoke, "Do you want to report this?"

"That's the idea."

"It should indeed be reported," Jiang Shan also believed that it was necessary: ​​"But now is not the time to report it."

"Why do you sound like this now?" Jiang Hai smiled bitterly: "Since I entered this industry, this is the sentence I have heard the most. I didn't expect that now that I am sitting in the position of editor-in-chief... I still have to wait."

"Ah,"

Jiang Shan smiled. He also had such moments in his previous life.

Especially when you are new to the next level, those three fires are burning, and you really want to change the entire industry.

This news can be regarded as a top-level treatment of such incidents.

Afterwards, a serious capsizing accident occurred, and many offshore workers were unfortunately killed at the bottom of the sea.

Jiang Shan patted the boss hard: "That's what I want to say."

Jiang Hai: "Is there any difference?"

The cause was a misunderstanding caused by improper English communication between the ABN AMRO co-pilot and the airport control tower.

“In 1977, a collision occurred between two KLM and Pan Am 747 aircraft on the runway of Santa Cruz Airport in Spain.

As a media, our job is not limited to revealing the truth, but we can also prepare for potential accidents in advance. "

"With reform and opening up, things from the outside are coming in. We must fully understand whether it is good or not."

On November 1979, 11, my country's "Bohai 2" drilling platform received an order to relocate due to severe weather.

"You still have to do something," Jiang Shan never tried to change a major historical trajectory after crossing over.
“In fact, in all walks of life, there are important documents similar to those in the Bohai Sea shipwreck that have not been translated.

"Yes," Jiang Hai sighed: "Not only is it financial, our country's talent deficit is also not small."

"I don't know exactly what happened," Jiang Shan said. "I only know that the People's Daily will comprehensively report on this matter."

"Similar to Bohai No. 2 drilling?"

Neither the language nor the quality meets the requirements. But even so, some departments still need to queue up if they want to borrow it. "

Among them, the key criticism is that some laymen lead experts, neglecting to take advice from experts, and only focus on the spectacle of competitions and wearing red flowers.

"This matter is not trivial, it is of great concern," Jiang Shan and Jiang Hai discussed: "There will definitely be comprehensive reports. We only need to wait for the starting gun to sound before making follow-up reports."

Although the incident of "less translation of materials" was not reported, it was an unprecedented attempt to restore the truth of the incident and carry out overwhelming criticism.

Eight months after the incident, the front page of the People's Daily disclosed the whole incident: [Ignoring production safety and acting recklessly in violation of regulations. 】

In Jiangshan's view, the importance of this aspect is much more important than the title of the translated film.

"Brother, I understand how you feel now," Jiang Shan's gentle tone made Jiang Hai calm down:

"That's for sure," Jiang Shan said, "When Director Xu and I were together, I always listened to him nagging about the translators in the Foreign Languages ​​Publishing Bureau.

We don't need to worry about this matter, and we can't worry about it. But we can start from reality and put in some hard goods. "

"It's difficult to recover after being out of work for many years," Jiang Shan said. "But in comparison, translator talents in the technical field are even scarcer."

This is a Trident equipped with an advanced ground proximity warning system.

On April 1982, 4, an Air China flight 26 was scheduled to fly from Guangzhou to Guilin.

Jiang Hai: "At least you have to learn English well in the industry."

"..." Jiang Hai: "It turns out that this kind of thing also happens abroad!"

"I am not reporting on this matter to criticize anyone who decides how to deal with it, but the government has the final say." Jiang Hai's thinking is: "The main purpose is to attract the attention of relevant departments to avoid big troubles in the future."

The KLM co-pilot's words "We are taking off" were interpreted by the tower as "We are at the take-off point". As a result, a scheduling error occurred and the two planes collided. "

"You mean English is important, right?"

"Hard goods?"

"Of course there are differences," Jiang Shan just looked at the young man: "First of all, every time a major accident occurs, the whole country will rectify it for a while.

"You are right," Jiang Shan pointed out, "but this matter is by no means as simple as missing a few translations of materials."

"Don't tell me it's you, I'm angry too. But... we journalists don't live by venting our anger. We must first accumulate strength before we can serve the people for a long time."

"The co-pilot is from the Netherlands, so it's normal for him not to speak English well," Jiang Shan said, "but since he has flown an international flight, he must learn it well."

Because before long, a similar accident will happen in our country.

"There is still a step closer to the people," Jiangshan believes that the hidden dangers in this regard can still be reminded in advance:

"Huh?" Jiang Hai: "Do you understand this?"

Jiang Shan nodded: "Two Boeing 747s, a total of more than 500 people were killed."

"So now we just do nothing?"

When Jiang Hai heard this, he quickly asked: "Are there any casualties?"

Trident is one of the first aircraft models in the world to achieve autonomous driving.

It is also the world's first civil aviation aircraft that can achieve automatic landing in zero visibility under adverse weather conditions.

At that time, the plane dropped its flight altitude to 40 meters when it was still more than 1500 kilometers away from Guilin.

Then, without notifying the tower, the flight altitude was lowered again to 1380 meters. Later, when the plane continued flying in thick fog, a 1480-meter-high mountain appeared in front of it.

However, due to the low visibility at the time, neither captain noticed it.

But at this moment, the ground proximity alarm on the plane sounded three times: "Terrain, Pull Up".

The two captains on board the plane were stunned when they heard the alarm.

Since most of the airplanes I flew before were Soviet-made aircraft, my listening skills in Russian were pretty good, but my English skills were poor.

Considering that the airport was not far away, the captain decided to complete the flight mission first and then study it.

At this time, the sirens on the plane were still ringing continuously.

Along with the alarm sound, a big mountain suddenly appeared in front of the plane.

The two captains hurriedly yanked the plane, and at the same time they were vaguely aware of what this English sentence was saying to them.

But it was too late, and the plane quickly hit a mountain, killing all 112 people on board.

The same situation also happened on a flight from Shenyang to WLMQ in 1993.

At that time, the crew members were already familiar with "PULL UP" as the alarm reminder.

But he knew nothing about the "GLIDE SLOPE" that suddenly sounded.

The black box recordings surprised subsequent investigators.

When the first officer asked, the mechanic only gave a vague answer: Be careful.

What you need to be careful about is not explained at all.

The crew configuration of that era still maintained a five-person system of pilot, co-pilot, pilot, communications, and aerial mechanics.

But even so, no one remembers all the flight warning terms.

Fortunately, the captain looked out the window at this time.

Just this sight scared him so much that he immediately took off. At this time, the plane was flying less than a hundred meters high.

Corresponding to the black box at this time, the cockpit finally sounded a panic of "height, height", "don't get off", and "pull up".

After some remedial operations, the plane finally crashed in a farmland outside the airport runway, causing a tragic accident in which 12 people were killed and 60 injured.

Thinking of these news, Jiang Shan immediately decided: "In two days, I will draft an article called "The Great Air Crash of the Century" to introduce in detail the air crash that occurred in Spain in 1977, and to emphasize to the people the importance of mastering a foreign language."

Nowadays, not only the masses, but also individual leading cadres will criticize learning English, which is purely to worship foreigners and follow the fashion.

"Add another subtitle," Jiang Hai pointed the palm of his left hand with his right hand: "Comrade pilot, the masses have something to say to you."

"Just do it," Jiang Shan smiled and nodded: "Add a subtitle."

"This matter must be mentioned repeatedly and often," Jiang Hai ordered: "If you don't do this, I won't even dare to fly in the future."

"Don't worry," Jiang Shan had already thought of it: "At the end of the article, I will also attach a Chinese-English comparison table of flight terms."

"Oh~"

The two brothers smiled at each other and walked into the restaurant hand in hand.

Every time this moment comes, Jiang Hai is grateful that he can work in a news unit.

Many times, while serving the people, they can also protect their own personal lives.

"This week's weekend expansion," Jiang Shan said as he walked, "I'm going to ask Uncle Li to write an article introducing Cassandra."

"What is Cassandra?"

"It's not a thing," Jiang Shan said, "Like Pandora and Medusa, they are mythological figures from ancient Greece."

Similarly, Jiang Shan is also planning to ask Li Ruocheng to introduce these people one by one.

Let today's people listen to the story and understand what Pandora's Box and Medusa's Eyes are...

"Oh," Jiang Hai said with a smile, "If this continues, our Oriental Metropolis Daily will really have to consider completely expanding its edition."

"This will happen sooner or later," Jiang Shan believes: "Oriental Metropolis Daily is no better than a column magazine. While publishing news, it can publish anything. Only by becoming bigger and stronger can it be like a fish in water."

While they were talking, the two of them had already taken their seats.

At this time, it was time for the snacks to be served. Hu Xiao naturally served Jiang Shan a bowl of noodles: "What have you been talking about with Brother You for so long?"

"Something about the newspaper office," Jiang Shan took the noodles and started eating: "Boss, I feel that you can solve the title of the movie yourself."

"Why," Hu Xiao said, "No idea?"

Jiang Shan shook his head: "I really can't think of it."

"Well," Hu Xiao nodded: "Actually... I have already thought of one."

"what?"

"Escape from the tiger's mouth!"

"Escape from the tiger's mouth?" Jiang Shan's eyes naturally lit up: "Wonderful!"

Just when Hu Xiao was about to chat with Jiang Shan about the ideological struggle over naming, Li Guyi and Gu Jianfen came over with wine glasses in hand:

"Xiao Jiang, we are going back to Yanjing tomorrow, why don't you hurry up and have a drink with us..."

Jiang Hai, who was sitting opposite, silently looked at the colorful toast objects in front of the third child.

Suddenly, he vaguely felt that an "evil" force in the media was gradually growing...
