乘客蓝牙设备“名称不当”，美一航班返航
双语君约 2 分钟A United Airlines flight bound for Spain from Newark Liberty International Airport turned around midflight Saturday due to a possible security threat.
数据显示，该航班于当地时间30日下午6时左右起飞，前往西班牙马略卡岛帕尔马市，但晚上9时37分返回纽瓦克自由国际机场。航空公司表示，这架波音767型客机载有190名乘客和12名机组人员。
The flight departed around 6 pm for Palma de Mallorca, Spain, but landed back at Newark at 9:37 pm, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The airline said there were 190 passengers and 12 crew members on board the Boeing 767 aircraft.
据报道，有乘客用“四个特殊字母组成的单词”命名自己的蓝牙设备。一名乘客在社交媒体上发帖称，机组人员多次要求乘客关闭所有蓝牙设备，但仍有两台设备保持开启状态。机组人员同位于芝加哥的美联航总部沟通后选择返航。
According to air traffic control audio, security came to inspect the aircraft after someone named their Bluetooth device a "certain four-letter word". A passenger posting on social media said crew members repeatedly asked passengers to turn off all Bluetooth devices, but two devices remained on. The flight turned around after communicating with the airline's headquarters in Chicago.
报道指出，乘客们撤离飞机后，接受了美国运输安全管理局和海关与边境保护局的再次安检，并于5月31日凌晨搭乘由新机组人员执飞的替代航班离开，当天下午抵达帕尔马。
Passengers had to evacuate as the aircraft was swept by Port Authority police, and passengers were rescreened by TSA and Customs and Border Patrol before reboarding. The airline declined to provide specifics on the cause of the incident.
Passengers boarded a replacement flight with a new crew, which took off early Sunday morning and landed in Palma in the afternoon.
报道还称，这是5月美国联合航空公司发生的又一起事件。5月29日，美联航一架国内航班因一名乘客行为不端引发安全隐患，被迫改降其他机场。5月初，一架客机在纽瓦克机场降落时，撞上一根灯柱和一辆行驶中的拖车。
