　　A small Iranian passenger plane crashed Sunday while taking off from an airport near the capital, Tehran, state media reported. The country's state-run news agency said 40 people were feared killed in the crash.

　　伊朗國家電視臺10日報道，已有超過40人在當天上午發生在德黑蘭的墜機事故中喪生，出事飛機是一架小型客機。

　　The aircraft, an Iran-141 jet typically used for short domestic flights, crashed near Mehrabad airport, west of Tehran, Iran's state-run IRNA news agency reported. The plane went down in a residential area, the agency reported.

　　據伊朗官方媒體伊斯蘭共和國通訊社報道，出事飛機是伊朗141噴氣式飛機，是國內短途飛行的典型機型。該飛機在德黑蘭西部的梅赫拉巴德機場附近墜機，落在居民區附近。

　　"Initial reports indicate that the 40 people aboard the plane have been killed, including seven children," IRNA reported. It did not identify a source for its claim.

　　據伊斯蘭共和國通訊社消息，“初步報告表明，機上40人全部遇難死亡，其中包括7名兒童”。但該報道并沒有明確的采訪來源引用。

　　Iran has suffered a series of airplane crashes, blamed on its aging aircraft and poor maintenance. Many of the Boeing aircraft in state-run Iran Air's fleet were bought before the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution, which disrupted ties with the U.S. and Europe.

　　由于機身老化、長久失修，伊朗曾發生多起空難。1979年通過伊斯蘭革命伊朗拜托了美國和歐洲控制，但伊朗國家航空艦隊現有的許多波音飛機都是在那之前買的。

　　Iranian airlines, including those run by the state, are chronically strapped for cash, and maintenance has suffered, experts say. U.S. sanctions prevent Iran from updating its American aircraft and make it difficult to get European spare parts or planes as well. The country has come to rely on Russian aircraft, many of them Soviet-era planes that are harder to get parts for since the Soviet Union's fall.

　　專家稱，長久以來，伊朗的眾多航空公司(包括國有航空公司在內)飽受墜機詬病，航空業運營舉步維艱。美國的制裁措施禁止伊朗替換美國飛機，進而導致去歐洲采購飛機零件或整機都很困難。所以伊朗不得不依賴于俄羅斯飛機，然而自從蘇聯解體以后蘇聯時期的飛機零部件很難更新購進。

　　The last major airliner crash in Iran happened in January 2011, when an Iran Air Boeing 727 broke to pieces on impact while trying an emergency landing in a snowstorm in northwestern Iran, killing at least 77 people.

　　最近伊朗發生的墜機事件是在2011年1月，伊朗波音727飛機在伊朗西北部遇上暴風雪天氣，在緊急迫降的過程中墜毀、機身四分五裂，死亡人數至少77人。

　　In July 2009, a Russian-made jetliner crashed in northwest Iran shortly after taking off from the capital, killing all 168 on board.

　　2009年7月，一架俄羅斯產噴氣客機在首都起飛后不久墜毀在伊朗西北部，機上168人全部遇難。

　　In February 2003 a Russian-made Ilyushin 76 carrying members of the Revolutionary Guard crashed in the mountains of southeastern Iran, killing 302 people aboard.

　　2003年2月，俄羅斯產Ilyushin76飛機在伊朗東南部山區墜毀，302人遇難、其中包括革命衛隊成員。
