Flocks of birds provide for more opportunities of one causing a cascading engine failure since multiple strikes are likely to occur.

同时，鸟群的出现，增加了引擎因卷吸鸟类而破坏的概率，因为这样更容易发生多次撞击。

We look at, for example, the 2003 Northeast blackout as a great example of a cascading failure.

- 例如，我们将 2003 年东北大停电视为连锁故障的一个很好的例子。

A bird getting ingested into one is dangerous because as the bird strikes one of the blades of the fan inside that blade can become displaced into another blade which causes a cascading engine failure.

引擎里卷入一只鸟是十分危险的事情，因为一旦鸟类撞击其中一片引擎扇叶，该扇叶就会位移，进而影响另一片扇叶，随之就会导致引擎故障。
