海龟在黄金海岸机场截停捷星飞机

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

在黄金海岸机场的停机坪上，一只麻烦的乌龟在悠闲地漫步后，把一架客机截停了。

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)一架飞往阿德莱德(Adelaide)的航班周四晚间起飞前滑行时，因这只爬行动物靠得太近，让飞行员感到不妥，飞行员不得不踩了刹车。

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.

由于担心这只海龟会被吸入飞机的右引擎，飞行员用无线电向控制塔台求救，结果却被告知这不是这只海龟的第一次捣乱。

"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.

“他们说它当天早些时候也去过那里，这是他们第二次把它搬走，”捷星发言人詹姆斯·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.

机场已派出一辆安全车把乌龟挪走，飞行员们也密切注视着乌龟，以防它再次返回
