# 被困在矿井里

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 第1段

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.

中文理解：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，营救人员正在矿井北侧钻孔。他们准备用一种特制的容器把这6个人营救上来。 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，两个小时以前放到矿井里的一只麦克风使井下的人可以与其近亲属保持联系。虽然他们的食物和饮料都快消耗尽了，但这些人的心态乐观，坚信他们很快就会被救出去。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。

* **therefore**：因此；结果；结果必须由前文支撑；它不是让论述显得高级的装饰词。

* **a long way**：形容词与名词一起理解；先结合这句确定是在评价位置、距离还是经历，不把 good 一律换成中文“好”。

#### 1. Six men have been trapped…

简单句，主谓结构.

#### 2. If they are not brought… they may lose their lives.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，前面是if 引导的条件状语从句，主谓结构.

#### 4. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof to collapse.

复合句，主句主谓宾 + 宾补结构，从句是if 引导的条件状语从句，主谓结构.

#### 7. If there had not been a hard layer, they would have completed the job.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，从句是if 引导的条件状语从句，there be 句型.

#### 8. As it is, they have been drilling and they have a long way.

并列复合句，and 连接前后两句，前句是复合句，主句为主谓结构，句首是as 引导的方式状语从句，实际上；事实上；既然如此，in the actual state of affairs and often contrary to expectations，英英释义中强调与预期的正好相反，课文中便是这个用法.

and 后句为简单句，主谓宾结构.

#### 9. a microphone, which was lowered…, has enabled the men to keep in touch…

复合句，主句为主谓宾 + 宾补的结构，中间有一个which 引导的非限制性定语从句，该从句为主谓结构.

#### 10. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out.

复合句，主句核心为 the men are cheerful and confident，属于主系表结构；that they will get out soon 是 confident 的内容补语从句，这里cheerful 有心情愉快之意，但本文中明显不是这个意思，应取乐观之意，试想，一个人被困在矿井里会心情愉快吗？

句首是though 引导的让步状语从句，主谓宾结构，动词词组作谓语.

#### 11. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing.

复合句，主句主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该从句为主谓结构.

#### 12. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，从句是if 引导的条件状语从句，该条件状语从句中又包含一个how 引导的宾语从句，该宾语从句it 是形式主语，后面动词不定式短语才是真正的主语.
