A doomed Russian passenger jet lurched up and down before plunging 31,000 feet after being blown apart by an ‘external impact’, airline bosses have revealed.
航空公司日前透露，失事俄罗斯客机由于“外部冲击”导致机身解体，在这之前客机从3.1万英尺的高空急速降落，并在其后爬升及急降数次。

Travellers still strapped in their seats were sucked from the stricken Airbus A321 through a hole at the back of the jet when the tail blew off 23 minutes after leaving the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh, it was claimed.
声明称，俄罗斯空客A321在离开埃及红海旅游胜地沙姆沙伊赫起飞23分钟后由于机尾由于一个空洞而爆炸，被困在座位上的乘客被吸出机舱。

The plane twice abruptly climbed nearly 3,000 feet in three seconds before falling 3,000 feet moments later in the final minutes before disappearing from radar, crashing in the Sinai peninsula with the loss of all 224 passengers and crew.
飞机在从3000英尺的高空坠落之前曾两次在三秒钟内突然把飞行高度急升3000英尺，随后在雷达上消失，并坠落在西奈半岛上，乘客和机组人员在内的224人全部遇难。

Bosses at carrier Metrojet ruled out a technical fault or pilot error, indicating that a bomb or missile strike brought down the jet. Alexander Smirnov, the airline’s deputy general director, said: ‘The only possible explanation could be an external impact on the airplane.’
俄罗斯Metrojet航空公司负责人排出了机械故障和飞行员操作失误两个原因，指出可能是炸弹或是导弹袭击导致飞机坠毁。Metrojet副局长亚历山大·斯米尔诺夫称：“唯一可能的解释是客机遭到外部冲击。”

A Russian cargo plane returned the first bodies of victims killed in the crash to St Petersburg on Monday, which is holding three days of mourning.
一俄罗斯货运飞机将第一批遇难者遗体运回圣彼得堡，圣彼得堡正在举行为期三天的哀悼会。
