据新华社5月19日消息，埃及航空公司新闻中心19日表示，该公司此前发布的“确认已找到失联客机残骸”的信息系翻译错误，目前仍无法确认海面漂浮物系埃及航空公司MS804航班客机的残骸。
CAIRO, May 20 (Xinhua) -- A translation mistake of EgyptAir’s press release about finding wreckage of the missing flight MS804 has caused misunderstanding, a source from EgyptAir told Xinhua.
埃及航空公司新闻中心一名官员在电话中告诉新华社，埃及航空就“遗失飞机MS804残骸已经找到”的错误翻译引发的误解召开了新闻发布会。
An EgyptAir source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Arabic version of a press statement on the "possibility of finding parts of the missing airplane" was mistakenly translated into English by EgyptAir’s official Facebookpage, which caused "confusion."
埃及航空公司新闻中心消息，一位匿名发言人在新闻发布会上称，阿拉伯语版的“找到遗失飞机残骸的可能性”被埃及航空错误地翻译为英文，并发布到脸谱首页，引起了误解。
The source further explained that EgyptAir "has never confirmed the finding of any wreckage," a translation mistake was the reason behind the "confusion."
埃及航空公司新闻中心一名官员在电话中告诉新华社记者：“埃及航空公司从未确认过MS804客机残骸已找到，造成信息矛盾的原因是埃及航空公司新闻发布的英文翻译错误。”
In the Arabic version, we only spoke about the possibility that the objects found might belong to the airplane, the source said.
“在阿拉伯语版的消息中，我们只是说找到一个残骸可能来源于这个飞机，”消息称。
Earlier on Thursday, EgyptAir said the Egyptian Foreign Ministry had confirmed to the Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry that wreckages of the missing airplane were found near the Greek Island of Karpathos.
周四早些时候，埃及航空称，埃及外交部向埃及民用航空局确认，在埃及卡尔帕索斯岛附近发现遗失飞机残骸。
Those reports were shortly denied by Greek officials who said the objects they found during the ongoing search operations do not belong to the Egyptian aircraft.
这个消息很快被埃及相关政府否决，称在之后的调查中发现此残骸并不属于埃及航空。
EgyptAir has earlier confirmed that the missing plane, an Airbus A320, disappeared from radar screens en route from Paris to Cairo at 2:45 a.m. Cairo local time (0045 GMT) on Thursday.
开罗时间凌晨2：45，埃及航空早些时候证实，一架从法国巴黎飞往埃及开罗的客机A320飞越地中海时从雷达上消失。
The flight had 66 people aboard, including 30 Egyptians, 15 French, two Iraqis and nine others each from Algeria, Belgium, Portugal, Britain, Canada, Chad, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Sudan.
埃航当天清晨在一份声明里中说，客机载有66名乘客，其中30名埃及人，15名法国人，2名伊拉克人，其他9位分别来自阿尔及利亚，比利时，葡萄牙，英国，加拿大，乍得湖，科威特，沙特阿拉伯和苏丹。
