Do you know what this is? It's okay, no one else seems to know either.
你知道这是什么吗？没关系，其他人似乎也不知道。
An unidentified object washed on shore near Green Head in Western Australia on July 17.
7月17日，一个不明物体被冲上了西澳大利亚州格林黑德镇附近的海岸。
The giant cylinder has caused a lot of speculation as to what it may or may not be.
这个巨大的圆柱物体引起了很多关于它可能是什么，也可能不是什么的猜测。
But aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas has his thoughts on the subject.
但是航空专家杰弗里·托马斯对此有自己的看法。
"It appears to be a possible fuel tank from a rocket that has been launched in the last 12 months
“它有可能是在过去1年间发射的火箭的燃料箱，
that's dropped into the Indian Ocean, somewhere in the Indian Ocean, and washed up at Green Head."
掉入了印度洋的某个地方，然后被冲上了格林黑德。”
One theory is that it could be a part of MH370, the Malaysian Airline flight that disappeared in March 2014.
有一种说法是，该物体可能是2014年3月失踪的马航MH370客机的一部分。
Thomas refutes this. "There's no chance it's part of MH370.
托马斯反驳了这一说法。“它不可能是MH370客机的一部分。
It's not any part of a Boeing 777 and the fact is MH370 was lost nine and a half years ago, so it would show a great deal more wear and tear on the debris."
这不是波音777客机的任何部件，事实就是，MH370客机是在9年半前失踪的，所以残骸上应该会有更多磨损痕迹。”
This mystery won't go unsalt for long.
解开这个谜题也许用不了太久。
