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.
六個(gè)人被困在礦井里十七小時(shí)。如果不把他們盡快的表面，他們可能會(huì)失去他們的生命。然而，事實(shí)證明營救工作非常困難。如果用炸藥爆破，震動(dòng)會(huì)使礦井的頂部倒塌。所以救援人員鉆了一個(gè)洞礦井的北側(cè)。他們打算將這些人在一個(gè)特殊的膠囊。如果不是有一層堅(jiān)硬的巖石下的土壤，他們已經(jīng)完成工作了幾個(gè)小時(shí)。事實(shí)上，他們已經(jīng)鉆了十六個(gè)小時(shí)，他們還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走。與此同時(shí)，一個(gè)麥克風(fēng)，這是兩個(gè)小時(shí)以前放下井去，使這些人能與他們最親近的親屬保持聯(lián)系。雖然他們已耗盡了食物和飲料，但這些人的心情很好，堅(jiān)信他們很快就會(huì)滾出去。他們被告知救援行動(dòng)進(jìn)展順利。如果他們知道鉆透堅(jiān)硬的巖石，他們會(huì)喪失信心。
