营救队员砸墙解救被困女孩

A rescue team went all out to free a girl trapped in the narrow gap between two walls in southeast China's Jiangxi province during a game of hide and seek, state television (CCTV) has reported.

据中国央视报道，在中国西南部的江西省，一名女孩儿在玩捉迷藏游戏时被困在了两堵墙的狭窄缝隙中，一对救援队员全力以赴，将该女孩儿救出。

The team succeeded after several attempts because they had misjudged how far down the girl was trapped.

救援队伍尝试了多次才成功将女孩救出，因为一开始他们没有判断好女孩儿被困的位置。

The rescue workers in Jiujiang city had made a 20-centimetre-long hole in the wall but were only able to reach the child's hand, who was 1.2 metres further down inside the gap.

来自九江市的援救队员们开凿了20厘米长的洞，但女孩儿处在更深处1.2米，所以只能够到女孩儿的手。

Although they enlarged the hole, they were still unable to free her so the team decided to tear down the wall altogether and dig a hole, to free her without any forceful dragging or pulling.

虽然援救队员又凿大了洞，但还是无济于事。随后，援救队决定将整堵墙拆掉，再挖个洞，避免靠蛮力拖拽被困女孩儿。

The girl was finally rescued after two hours. Paramedics on the scene said she suffered no long-term damage from her ordeal.

最终，女孩儿终于在2小时候被救出。现场的医护人员称，此次意外不会对女孩儿造成长久性伤害。
