海龜漫步，截停飛機

海龜在黃金海岸機場截停捷星飛機

A troublesome turtle brought a passenger plane to a grinding halt after it went for a wander on the tarmac at Gold Coast Airport.

在黃金海岸機場的停機坪上，一只麻煩的烏龜在悠閑地漫步后，把一架客機截停了。

The pilot of a Jetstar flight, bound for Adelaide, had to apply the brakes after the reptile got too close for comfort as the plane was taxiing ahead of take-off on Thursday night.

捷星航空(Jetstar)一架飛往阿德萊德(Adelaide)的航班周四晚間起飛前滑行時，因這只爬行動物靠得太近，讓飛行員感到不妥，飛行員不得不踩了剎車。

Fearing the turtle could be sucked into the plane's right engine, the pilot radioed the control tower for help, only to be told it wasn't the critter's first offence.

由于擔心這只海龜會被吸入飛機的右引擎，飛行員用無線電向控制塔臺求救，結果卻被告知這不是這只海龜的第一次搗亂。

"They said he'd been up there earlier in the day as well. It was the second time they'd had to move him," Jetstar spokesman James Fuller told the ABC.

“他們說它當天早些時候也去過那里，這是他們第二次把它搬走，”捷星發(fā)言人詹姆斯·富勒表示。

A safety car was sent out to remove the turtle and pilots at the airport are keeping a keen eye out in case it decides to return.

機場已派出一輛安全車把烏龜挪走，飛行員們也密切注視著烏龜，以防它再次返回
