A commuter1 train in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, has crashed at the end of the line, leaving at least 80 people injured. 

阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯一辆通勤列车失速撞上了终点线，造成至少80人受伤。
The train ended up wedged between the floor and ceiling of the platform at Once station
The train ended up wedged between the floor and ceiling of the platform at Once station
 
The train failed to stop as it arrived at Once station, crashing through the buffers2（缓冲区） and ending up wedged（锲入） between the floor and ceiling of the platform. 
 
The accident happened at the same station where 51 people were killed in a similar crash last year.
 
The cause of the accident remains3 unclear.
 
Saturday's crash happened shortly after 07:00 local time.
 
The line from Moreno 40km west of Buenos Aires to Once station, operated by the Sarmiento train company, is normally a busy commuter line during the week, and its trains are usually packed with passengers. 
 
Security Secretary Sergio Berni said some of those injured on Saturday had been waiting on the platform and were hurt by flying glass as the train's windows shattered.
 
Jorge Ramirez, a chef who got on the train nine stations before the end of the line, told the AP news agency the accident was "a tragedy". 
 
"I saw people hurt, shouting, others thrown on the floor. The people in the first wagon4 ended up piled on top of each other," he said. 
 
After the 2012 crash, the authorities revoked5 a local company's right to operate trains on the line and pledged to make new investments in safety. 
 
But commuters complain of frequent delays and bad service, and it is not uncommon6 to see travellers crammed7 into trains on their way to work, says the BBC's Ignacio de los Reyes in Buenos Aires.
