>Off-duty pilot flies plane
度假乘客頂替機長駕機
An off-duty pilot was hailed a "legend" after stepping in to fly a plane himself to stop the flight being cancelled.
一位休假的飛行員因親自駕駛飛機使航班免遭取消而被譽為"傳奇人物"。
Michael Bradley, a qualified easyJet pilot, had a busman's holiday when he ended up flying a plane that was delayed by two hours.
麥可•布拉德利是一名有資質的易捷航空飛行員，他在休假時遇到飛機延誤兩個小時，然後他就臨時上崗把飛機開到了目的地。
He told passengers on board the Manchester Airport flight to Alicante that he was offering his services as there was no pilot available.
他對航班上的乘客表示，由於飛行員不在，他將代為駕駛。這趟航班從英國曼徹斯特飛往西班牙阿利坎特。
An easyJet spokesman said the flight's delay was due to "the knock-on effects of the French Air Traffic Control failure on Sunday, which impacted on crew and meant they had to rely on standbys".
易捷航空一位發言人表示，航班延誤是由於"法國9月1日空中交通管制失誤的連鎖反應，影響到了機組人員，因此不得不依靠後備人員。"
He added: "We are grateful to one of our pilots who was travelling on holiday from Manchester to Alicante on Sept 2 with his family and volunteered to operate the flight."
他補充道："非常感謝我們的一名飛行員，他於9月2日與家人從曼徹斯特前往阿利坎特度假，並自願駕駛這架飛機。"
The spokesman also said the incident was "exceptional", Mr Bradley was legally permitted to fly and he was well-rested from taking four days off.
發言人還表示，這起事件是"例外"，布拉德利依法獲準飛行，他當時已休假四天，駕駛飛機之前得到了充分的休息。"

>Logo for 2022 WCup released
卡達世界盃會徽公布
Qatar finally has a logo for the 2022 World Cup, and it reflects both the tournament's compact infrastructure and winter schedule.
2022年卡達世界盃會徽終於出爐，會徽設計反映出這屆世界盃緊湊的基礎設施和冬季賽程。
Using the colors of the Qatari flag, the white emblem is set against a maroon background.
這款白色會徽的背景是紅褐色的，採用了卡達國旗的色彩搭配。
It is inspired by the contours of the World Cup trophy with the unbroken loop depicting a figure of eight - the number of stadiums built for the Middle East's first World Cup in the tiny Persian Gulf nation.
會徽的靈感源自世界盃獎盃的輪廓，閉合環狀輪廓形似數字8——這也是這個波斯灣小國為中東首次世界盃所建的體育場館數量。
FIFA says the design also draws "inspiration from a traditional woolen shawl," a winter garment reflecting the World Cup being played in November and December 2022 to avoid the fierce summer heat in June and July when the tournament is usually played.
國際足聯稱，這一設計也"從一種傳統羊毛披肩中汲取了靈感"，這種冬季服飾反映出本屆世界盃的舉辦時間是2022年11月和12月，避開夏季最熱的6月和7月——世界盃的常規舉辦時間。
