【課文】

Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

6個人被困在礦井里已達(dá)17個小時。如果不盡快把他們救到地面上來，他們就有喪生的危險。然而，事實證明營救工作非常困難。如果使用炸藥，震動會使礦井的頂部坍塌。因此，營救人員在礦井的北側(cè)鉆了一個洞。他們準(zhǔn)備用一種特制的膠囊裝置把這幾名礦工從井下提上來。如果土壤下面沒有一層堅硬的巖石，他們的營救工作僅用幾個小時就可以完成了。實際情況是，他們已連續(xù)鉆了十六個小時了，但離鉆透還早著呢。與此同時，兩個小時以前放下井去的一只麥克風(fēng)使井下的人可以與其親屬保持聯(lián)系。雖然他們的食物和飲料快消耗完了，但這些人心情很好，堅信他們很快就會脫險。他們得知營救工作進(jìn)行得非常順利。要是他們知道鉆透那堅硬的巖石有多么困難，他們會喪失信心的。
