What is a black box? 什么是黑匣子?

A black box is an electronic recording device placed in an aircraft for to facilitate
the investigation of aviation
accidents and incidents.


黑匣子是放置在飞机上的电子记录装置,可帮助调查航空事故和事件。

facilitate
[fəˈsɪlɪteɪt]
促进,使便利

aviation
[ˌeɪviˈeɪʃn]
航空


Black box is not black. 黑匣子并不是黑色的。


The term “black box” was a World War II British phrase,
originating
with the development of radio, radar, and
electronic navigational aids
in British and Allied combat aircraft. These
often-secret
electronic devices were
literally encased
in
non-reflective
black boxes or housings,
hence
the name “black box”.


“黑匣子”一词是二战时期英国的用语,起源于英国和盟军战斗机的无线电、雷达和电子导航辅助设备的发展。这些往往是秘密的电子设备实际上被包裹在不反光的黑盒子或外壳中,因此被称为“黑匣子”。

originate [əˈrɪdʒɪneɪt]
起源;发源

literally [ˈlɪtərəli]
按字面;字面上

non-reflective


[ˈnəʊn rɪˈflektɪv] 不反光的

hence
[hens]
因此;由此


These black boxes are of fluorescent flame-orange
in colour
to make them more
visually
conspicuous (明显的) in the debris
after an accident.


这些黑匣子的颜色是亮橙色,这样它们在事故发生后的残骸中会更显眼。

flame-orange
橙红色的

visually

[ˈvɪzjʊəli] 视觉上地

debris

[ˈdebriː]
残骸


What does a black box do?黑匣子有什么作用?


These are highly resilient pieces of kit, able to
withstand extreme heat, jarring crashes and tonnes of pressure.

黑匣子外壳坚实,具有抗高温火烧、抗强冲击、抗深海压力等特种防护能力。

withstand
[wɪðˈstænd]
承受;抵住

extreme heat
[ɪkˈstriːm hiːt]
极端高温


The black box
is made up of two separate pieces of equipment: the flight data recorder (FDR) and a cockpit voice recorder (CVR). FDRs record things like airspeed, altitude, vertical acceleration and fuel flow. The CVRs track the crew's interactions with each other and air traffic control, but also background noise that can give vital clues to investigators.

黑匣子由飞行数据记录仪(FDR)和舱声录音器(CVR)组成。FDR记录飞行速度、高度、垂直加速度和燃油流量等数据。CVR不仅记录机组人员之间的对话以及他们与塔台的对话,还记录背景噪音,这些可为调查人员提供关键线索。
