2、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.

5、因此, 营救人员在矿井的北侧钻了 一个洞。他们准备用一种特制的 容器把这6个人救上来。如果不是因为土壤下面有一层坚硬 的岩石，他们的营救工作仅用几个小时就可以完成了。实际 情况是，他们已连续钻了 16个小时了，但离钻透还早着呢。 与此同时，两个小时以前放下井去的一只麦克风使井下的人 可以与其亲属保持联系。虽然他们的食物和饮料都快消耗尽 了，但这些人的心情很好，坚信他们很快就会出去。他们一 直被告知营救工作进行得非常顺利。如果他们知道了钻透那 坚硬的岩石有多么困难，他们会丧失信心的。自学导读Lesson 88Trapped in a mine困在矿井里课文详注 Further notes on
