At about 9.30 on Wednesday morning local time, Tali Manes was taking her six-year-old daughter, Nina, to the toilet on the regular flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv when she heard a series of(一连串的) heavy blow(重击，撞击)s against the cockpit(驾驶舱) door.
当地时间周三上午9点30分左右，塔莉·马内斯正带着六岁的女儿妮娜在迪拜航空从迪拜飞往特拉维夫的常规航班上去洗手间，突然听到驾驶舱门传来一连串沉重的撞击声。
Manes, an Israeli bank executive, immediately told a flight attendant(空乘人员) seated nearby that something was wrong. When he did not react, she shouted at him: “Something is happening in there!” Seconds later, the man “simply went to the [cockpit] door and opened it”, Manes told Israel’s Channel 12 TV.(几秒钟后，那名男子“径直走到[驾驶舱]门前，把门打开了”，马内斯对以色列第12频道电视台说。)
马内斯是一名以色列银行高管，她立刻告诉坐在附近的一名空乘人员出事了。对方没有反应，她便冲他喊道：“里面出事了！”几秒钟后，那名男子“径直走到[驾驶舱]门前，把门打开了”，马内斯对以色列第12频道电视台说。
Inside, the scene was the stuff of travellers’ nightmares: blood spatter(溅，洒)ed over the cockpit walls and a brutal(残暴的，激烈的) struggle in progress between the badly injured pilot and the co-pilot(副驾驶), who was armed with(持有……武器) some kind of sharp weapon. There was no one at the controls(在操控中) of the Boeing 737.
舱内景象堪称旅客的噩梦：驾驶舱墙壁上血迹斑斑，身受重伤的飞行员与副驾驶正在激烈搏斗，副驾驶手持某种锋利武器。波音737当时无人操控。
