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. 参考译文 6 个人被困在矿井里已有17 个小时了。_____如果不把他们尽快救到地面上来,他们就有可能丧生。然而, 事实证明营救工作非常困难。如果用炸药爆破,震动会引起矿顶塌落。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。 424 新概念英语第二册笔记 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。 【课文讲解】 1、However, rescue operations are proving difficult. rescue operations 营救工作 What he had told us proved false. 2、Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. therefore adv. 因此,所以(可独立使用,也可位于动词前) The new flat is larger and therefore more expensive.
