Malaysia has sent a team to the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion to determine whether debris which washed up there is from missing flight MH370.
馬來西亞已派遣一組團隊前往印度洋的法屬留尼汪島，以確認沖上岸的殘骸是否屬于失聯客機馬航MH370。

The two-meter-long piece of wreckage washed up on the island, about 600km east of Madagascar, late on Wednesday.
7月29日晚些時候，一塊兩米長的飛機殘骸被沖到了該島，該島距馬達加斯加東部約600千米。

Aviation experts have said the debris looks like a wing component from a 777, known as a flaperon.
航空專家表示，這一殘骸疑似波音777客機機翼零件——襟副翼。

Malaysia Airlines said it would be "premature" to speculate on its origin.
馬來西亞航空公司表示，現在就殘骸來源做出揣測還“為時過早”。

There have been other plane crashes much closer to Reunion, but flight MH370 is the only Boeing 777 to have disappeared in the area.
也有其他飛機在距留尼汪島更近的地點墜機，但是馬航MH370航班是在該地區消失的唯一一架波音777飛機。

An US official told the Associated Press news agency that, based on the photos, investigators had a "high degree of confidence" that the part was a flaperon unique to a Boeing 777 wing.
一位美國官員告訴美聯社，從照片來看，調查人員表示“極有信心”認為，飛機殘骸是波音777飛機獨有的機翼零件。

A flaperon is a part of the wing used to manage the lift and control the roll of an aircraft.
襟副翼是機翼的一部分，用來操控飛機上升和滾轉。

French authorities in Reunion are also investigating the debris and Australian investigators are reported to be in touch with manufacturers over the find.
法屬留尼汪島當局目前也在調查這一殘骸，據報道，澳大利亞調查人員正在就這一發現與波音制造商聯系。
