Debris found in the western Indian Ocean on Wednesday appears to be part of a Boeing 777, the same model as Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that disappeared in 2014, according to a source close to the investigation.

根据调查组消息人士显示，碎片残骸周三在西印度洋被发现是波音777的一部分，其样式与2014年失踪的马航370一致。

The source said there is a unique element to the Boeing 777's flaperon, a wing component, that Boeing observers believe they are seeing in photos.

这位知情人士说波音777的襟副翼有着独特的元素——机翼组件——波音公司的观察者相信其正如图中所示。

The debris was found Wednesday off the coast of Reunion Island, a French department in the western Indian Ocean. It is being examined to see if it is connected to flight MH370.

残骸于周三在留尼汪岛海岸处——西印度洋的法国部门被发现。残骸正在接受检查以确认其是否与马航370有关。

Officials conducted an initial assessment of the debris using photographs.

官方人事通过照片对残骸进行了初步的评估。

The source stressed the observations are preliminary.

知情人士称这只是初步的观察。

If this turns out to be a piece of MH370, it would be the first piece of evidence that the plane crashed.
