88 Trapped in a Mine

Trapped in a mine

困在矿井里

Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours.

6个人被困在矿井里已有17个小时了。

If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives.

如果不把他们尽快救到地面上来,他们就有可能丧生。

However, rescue operations are proving difficult.

然而,事实证明营救工作非常困难。

If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse.

如果用炸药爆破,震动会引起矿顶塌落。

Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine.

因此,营救人员在矿井的北侧钻了一个洞。
