A piece of debris¹ found along the eastern African coast between Mozambique and Madagascar may be from the tail section of the Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared two years ago, NBC News reported on last Wednesday.

美国国家广播公司上周三的一则报道称，在莫桑比克和马达加斯加之间的非洲东海岸发现了一片残骸，其很有可能来自于两年前失踪的马来西亚航空航班的飞机尾部。

Citing U.S., Malaysian and Australian investigators² who have looked at photos of the possible debris, NBC said the piece could be a horizontal stabilizer from a Boeing 777, the same type of plane as the flight MH370 aircraft that was en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur when authorities lost track of it in March 2014.

引用美国、马来西亚和澳大利亚三方调查人员观察疑似碎片的照片后的言论，NBC表示，这块碎片很有可能是波音777的水平稳定器，而在2014年三月失联的吉隆坡飞往北京的MH370航班的飞机型号正是波音777。

Reuters could not immediately confirm the report, and Mozambican authorities have no information on the sighting of such an object off the coast of Inhambane province, according to Interior Ministry³ spokesman Inacio Dina.

路透社并未立刻确认该报道。内政部发言人Inacio Dina声称，莫桑比克当局尚未有关于在伊尼扬巴内省海岸目击该残骸的信息。

The U.S. National Transportation⁴ Safety Board declined comment, and referred questions to the Malaysian authorities who oversaw⁵ the investigation⁶. Boeing also declined to comment, referring all questions to investigating authorities.

美国国家运输安全委员会拒绝对此发表评论，并将问题交给马来西亚当局负责。波音公司也拒绝置评，而是将全部疑问交给调查小组。

Australian authorities told NBC they were arranging for an investigation of the piece, which could have drifted to the sand bar. Authorities there have said they are stepping up their search for the missing plane, which had been carrying 239 passengers.

澳大利亚当局对NBC表示，正在安排对这块可能漂流到沙滩的碎片进行调查。当局还表示，他们正在加紧搜寻这架载有239名乘客的失联飞机。
