2024考研英语同源外刊5月:哥伦比亚飞机失事

Officials in Colombia say four children missing since their plane crashed in the jungle have been found alive and well more than two weeks later. Their mother and the other adults were killed in the crash. The government's child welfare agency, ICBF, said it had received information "from the field" that the children had been found in good health. A pilot said he had also been told the children had been found by indigenous people deep in the rainforest. Soldiers taking part in the search, however, have yet to see the children for themselves.

哥伦比亚官员表示，自飞机在丛林中坠毁后失踪的四名儿童在两周多后被发现生还。他们的母亲和其他成年人在坠机中丧生。政府的儿童福利机构ICBF表示，他们收到来自现场的消息，称这些儿童被发现时健康状况良好。一名飞行员说，他还被告知，这些孩子是在雨林深处被原住民发现的。然而，参与搜寻的士兵们还没有亲眼见到孩子们。

The Cessna 206 light aircraft they had been in was flying from Araracuara, deep in the Amazon jungle in southern Colombia, to San José del Guaviare, when it disappeared in the morning of 1 May. Its pilot had earlier reported engine problems. After a huge search effort involving more than 100 soldiers, the plane was finally located on Monday, two weeks after it had disappeared. The bodies of the pilot, the co-pilot and 33-year-old Magdalena Mucutuy, the mother of the four children, were found at the crash site in Caquetá province.

他们乘坐的塞斯纳206轻型飞机于5月1日上午失踪，当时飞机正从哥伦比亚南部亚马逊丛林深处的阿拉库拉飞往圣何塞·德尔·瓜维亚雷。飞行员早些时候报告了引擎问题。经过100多名士兵的大规模搜索，飞机终于在失踪两周后于周一被找到。驾驶员、副驾驶员和四个孩子的母亲、33岁的马格达莱纳·穆库特伊的尸体在卡克塔省的坠机现场被发现。

But the children, who are aged 13. nine and four years, as well as an 11-month-old baby, were nowhere to be found. The search teams have, however, found clues indicating that the children, who are from the Huitoto indigenous group, survived the crash. Sniffer dogs came across a child's drinking bottle, a pair of scissors, a hair tie and some half-eaten fruit. The search teams also found an improvised shelter made from sticks and branches.

但三名分别为13岁、9岁和4岁的孩子以及一名11个月大的婴儿却无处可寻。然而，搜救队发现了一些线索，提示这些来自Huitoto土著部落的儿童在坠机事故中幸免于难。嗅探犬发现了一个孩子的饮水瓶、一把剪刀、一条发带和一些吃了一半的水果。搜救队还发现了一个用树枝搭成的临时庇护所。
