近日，一名女乘客进入一正在飞行的飞机驾驶舱后摆拍的事件引发热议。

Chinese pilot has been grounded after a photo of a woman sitting in an airplane cockpit emerged on social media, sparking outrage over a breach of safety rules.
熟词僻义，此处作动词，表示“使停飞；阻止…起飞”，英文解释为“prohibit or prevent (a pilot or an aircraft) from flying”举个🌰：
The civil aviation minister ordered all the planes to be grounded.
该民航部长命令所有飞机不得起飞。
此前在埃航坠机波音再受质疑一文中，就有出现：The Civil Aviation Administration of China then issued an order for the mandatory grounding of Boeing 737 Max planes by Chinese carriers. 中国民用航空局随后发布命令，要求中国航空公司强制停飞波音737 Max 8。
此处的grounding就表示“飞机停飞”，英文解释为“the process of officially stopping an aircraft from flying, especially because it is not safe to fly”。
BBC的报道中“停飞”，则直接说的是be banned from flying. 原句：A Chinese pilot has been banned from flying after a photo went viral showing a female passenger in the cockpit.
表示“（飞机、船或赛车的）驾驶舱，驾驶座”，英文解释为“the area in a plane, boat or racing car where the pilot or driver sits”。
The photo, posted by the woman on the Twitter-like Weibo social network, showed her taking the pilot's seat and making a V-sign while wearing civilian clothes.
"[I am] super thankful to the pilot! I am really so excited," the caption read.
The photo was spotted by a Chinese aviation blogger on Sunday. The blogger identified that the image was taken on an Air Guilin plane mid-flight, and criticized the airline for disregarding flight safety. The woman has since deleted the original photo on her Weibo account.
表示“不理会；不顾；漠视；对…置之不理”，英文解释为“to not consider sth; to treat sth as unimportant”举个🌰：
Safety rules were disregarded.
安全规定被忽视了。
The photo went viral by the time it had been taken down. The aviation blogger's post about the image currently has 22,000 likes.
Air Guilin confirmed that the incident took place during a flight from the southern city of Guilin to Yangzhou, eastern China on January 4.
In a statement on Monday, the airline said it had suspended the unnamed pilot from flying duties "for life" for violating civil aviation rules, while other members of the flight crew had been banned indefinitely, pending further investigation.
表示“等到…之后；直到…时为止”，英文解释为“used to say that one thing must wait until another thing happens”举个🌰：
The identity of the four people was not made public, pending (the) notification of relatives.
四名受害者的身份要等到家属确认之后才能公开。
Flights were suspended pending (an) investigation of the crash.
坠机事故正待调查，航班暂时取消。
The carrier said it had always placed the safety of its passengers as its top priority, and reiterated it had a "zero tolerance policy towards any unprofessional and improper acts that could endanger air safety."桂林航空将旅客安全放在首要位置，我们对于任何有可能威胁航空安全的不当且不专业的行为均坚持“零容忍”。
"We will enhance our rigorous safety guidelines, to avoid incidents like this from happening again," the statement said.针对此次事件，桂林航空将...，加强树立严谨的安全运行工作作风，杜绝类似事件的再次发生。
A company representative told state media outlet Beijing Youth Daily that every carrier has its own rules and, if the pilot decides to apply for jobs with other airlines, it'd be up to other carriers to decide whether or not to hire him.
Meanwhile, the photo sparked outrage on Chinese social media.
"This is putting passengers' lives in the entire aircraft at risk," one user commented. Another asked: "How can an aviation professional not understand the basics of air safety?"
The woman was identified as a student taking a flight attendant course at the Guilin Tourism University, according to the state-run People's Daily. It is unclear whether she is personally connected to the pilot.
表示“（客机的）乘务员；空乘人员”，英文解释为“a person whose job is to serve and take care of passengers on an aircraft”。
This is not the first time that pilots have violated air safety rules in China by inviting guests into the cockpit mid-flight.
In 2018, a pilot received a six-month suspension after he was found to have invited his wife into the cockpit three times during a Donghai Airlines flight, People's Daily reported.- END -
