Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin (C) with Gen. David Galtier (R) holds a press conference in Marseille, southern France, March 26, 2015.

The French prosecutor told reporters that Captain Lubitz apparently wanted to destroy the airplane. He said investigators came to this understanding after listening to the last 30 minutes of sound on the flight's voice recorder.

法國檢察官告訴記者稱Andreas Lubitz機長顯然想摧毀飛機。他說調(diào)查人員在聽完最后30分鐘錄音之后得出這一說法。

The pilot and co-pilot spoke of usual things for 20 minutes. Then pilot left the cockpit. He was locked out of the room when he returned. The co-pilot can be heard breathing during this time. He did not speak to the pilot or air traffic controllers again, however. The recording suggests the pilot tried to break down the door into the cockpit.

機長和副機長說了大概20分鐘一般的聊天話題，隨后機長離開了駕駛艙，但是他回來的時候被鎖在了外面。這個時候可以聽到副機長的喘氣聲。他沒有再與機長或者空中交通管制員講話，然而根據(jù)記錄顯示，機長試圖破門進(jìn)入駕駛艙。

Investigators do not know why the co-pilot would have wanted to crash the plane.

調(diào)查人員尚不清數(shù)副機長想要摧毀飛機的原因。
