中国矿难救援史的奇迹 王家岭矿难已救出158人

 

    周一是中国传统的清明节，人们在这一天祭奠逝去的亡灵。 Monday was China's traditional "Tomb-Sweeping Day", when people mourn their dead.

    但今年清明也成为全国上下欢欣鼓舞的日子，山西王家岭矿难中，被困井下超过一周的115名矿工终于获救。 But it also became a day for national celebration, when rescuers saved 115 workers who were trapped for more than a week in the flooded Wangjialing Coal Mine in Shanxi province.

    周一零时许，第一批获救的九名矿工成功升井。同日清晨，事故抢险指挥部新闻发言人刘德政向记者们表示：“这是个奇迹。” "It's a miracle," Liu Dezheng, spokesman for rescue headquarters, told reporters on Monday morning after the first nine miners were taken out shortly after midnight.

  “我们坚信会有更多奇迹发生。” "We believe more miracles will happen."

    中午时分，第二批获救的106名矿难幸存者被抬出。 At about noon, rescuers carried out the second batch of 106 survivors.

    在央视的报道中大家注意到，一名获救矿工在升井后从被中伸出双手。 One of the rescued workers raised his hands from beneath his blanket as he was lifted from the pit on a stretcher, footage from State broadcaster CCTV showed.

    为表达获救的喜悦，他鼓掌并试着握住自己的救命恩人。 The survivor clapped his hands and tried to reach for his rescuers in an expression of joy.

    在电视画面中我们可以看到，这些被抬上急救车的工人们身上包裹着厚被；为防止亮光对眼睛的突然刺激，一些工人蒙着眼罩。 The rescued workers were wrapped in blankets at the scene and some of them had their light-sensitive eyes covered as they were rushed to ambulances.

    救援人员们也相拥在一起，留下喜悦的泪水。 Rescuers also hugged themselves and shed tears of joy.
