recover#2
海に墜落したと推測されている，QZ8501便の乗客と思われる遺体が次々と発見されております。行方不明になってから5日の間で既に30名ほどの遺体が発見されております。天候の悪化で海上捜査は難航しているようです。また，未だにブラックボックスは発見されておらず，事故の原因はつかめておりません。
今回取り上げる単語は"recover"です。ここでは「（失ったものなど）を取り戻す，回収する」という意味で用いられているようです（『Wisdom英和辞典第三版』（三省堂））。ODには"Find or regain possession of (something stolen or lost)"とあり，ただ，見つけるではなく，無くしたものと見つけるという意味があるのですね。"recover"が"re-"「再び」"cover"「覆う」と分解できることからも推察できます。（Ume）
AirAsia QZ8501: Search teams find more bodies at sea
More bodies have been recovered from the Java Sea, five days after AirAsia flight QZ8501 crashed, bringing the total found so far to 30, Indonesian rescue officials say.
The Airbus A320 disappeared with 162 people on board while flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore.
Operations to recover victims continue but no survivors have been found.
Specialist equipment has arrived to aid the search for the plane itself and its "black box" flight recorders.
However officials said it could not be used on Friday because of high waves, Reuters reported.
On Saturday, Indonesian search and rescue chief Bambang Soelistyo said two large objects had been found in the search.
"As I speak we are lowering an ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle) to get an actual picture of the objects detected on the sea floor. All are at the depth of 30 metres," Mr Soelistyo said.
The cause of the crash is not known yet.
