《中英對照讀新聞》Russian farmer sues space agency for falling rocket俄國農民因火箭墜落控告太空局

A shepherd is suing Russia’s space agency for compensation after he said a 3-metre-long chunk of metal from a space rocket fell into his yard, just missing his outdoor toilet.

一名牧羊人控告俄羅斯太空局要求賠償，因為他宣稱來自太空火箭的一節3公尺長金屬掉進他的院子，差一點打中他的屋外廁所。

Boris Urmatov, who is asking for 1 million roubles from the Roskosmos agency, lives in a small village that lies underneath the flight path of rockets taking off from the Baikonur launchpad Russia leases in nearby Kazakhstan.

波里斯．烏瑪托夫要求俄國太空局賠償100萬盧布。他住的小村莊位在俄國向哈薩克租用的貝加奴發射基地火箭升空的軌道下方。

"Something woke him up in the night, like something exploded. Since he’s visually handicapped he didn’t notice the fallen rocket parts," Urmatov’s sister Marina told Reuters from the village of Kyrlyk, in Russia’s Altai region.

「有東西半夜將他吵醒，似乎有什麼東西爆炸了。他由於視力受損，沒有馬上注意到掉下來的火箭零件，」烏瑪托夫的姊妹瑪莉娜從俄國阿爾泰地區的奇里克小鎮告訴路透。

"But in the morning in front of the shepherd hut he saw this enormous metal casing, as smooth as an egg," she said by telephone from the village, which is 3,500 km east of Moscow. "It nearly crushed the outhouse."

「但到了早上，在牧人小屋前，他看到了這個巨大的金屬外殼，表面就跟蛋殼一樣光滑，」她在村中透過電話表示，當地位於莫斯科東邊3500公里處。「那東西差點砸毀屋外廁所。」

She said her brother was seeking damages to compensate him for the stress he suffered.

她說她的兄弟正在尋求賠償，以彌補他承受的精神壓力。
