雪崩下之奇迹幸存

A 12-year-old boy in the French Alps was found alive and uninjured after being buried under an avalanche for 40 minutes, an event his rescuers are calling a true "miracle."

一名12岁的男孩在法国阿尔卑斯山脉被雪崩掩埋40分钟后被发现还活着，并且没有受伤，救援人员称这是一个真正的“奇迹”。

French police in the town of Bourg Saint-Maurice said the boy was skiing off piste at the La Plagne ski resort in a group of seven skiers Wednesday when he was swept away.

法国圣莫瑞斯堡警方称，周三，这名男孩在拉普兰滑雪胜地滑道滑雪时被冲走，当时他跟同伴一行有7名滑雪者。

The boy started going down ahead of the others and was the only one caught when a large section of snow detached and roared down the mountain, police said.

警方说，男孩开始比其他人先下山，是唯一一个在一大块雪脱落并呼啸着滚下山时被淹没的男孩。

He was dragged at least 100 meters (110 yards) by the force of the avalanche.

他被雪崩的力量拖了至少100米(110码)。

Rescue workers flew in a helicopter to the avalanche scene, which was at 2,400 meters (7,875 feet) altitude.

救援人员乘坐直升机前往海拔2400米(7875英尺)的雪崩现场。

A sniffer dog found the boy, whose winter jacket was not equipped with an avalanche detector.

一只嗅探犬发现了这个男孩，他的冬装夹克上并没有装备雪崩探测器。

Rescue workers described the operation as "miraculous" because they said chances of survival are minuscule after 15 minutes under the snow.

救援人员称这次行动是“奇迹”，因为他们说，在积雪下淹埋15分钟后，生还的机会便微乎其微。

Police said among the reasons the boy survived is that his airways were not blocked by snow.

警方表示，男孩幸存的原因之一是他的呼吸道并没有被雪堵塞。

"We can call it a miracle. A day after Christmas, there was another gift in store," Captain Patrice Ribes said.

“我们可以称之为奇迹。圣诞节后的一天，我们又多了一份礼物。”救援队长帕特里斯.莱伯说道。

The boy was still sent to a local hospital for a checkup.

这名男孩随后被送到当地医院进行后续检查。
