    How did the woman get help?
    怎么幫助這個女人？
    When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed.
    不久前，一架輕型客機偏離了航線，在山區(qū)墜毀，飛行員喪生。
    The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt.
    機上僅有的乘客，一位年輕的婦女和她的兩個女嬰?yún)s平安無事。
    It was the middle of winter.
    此時正值隆冬季節(jié)，
    Snow lay thick on the ground.
    地上積著厚厚的雪。
    The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away.
    這位婦女知道，即使近的村莊也有數(shù)英里遠。
    When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find.
    天黑下來的時候，她把提箱當作小床，把兩個孩子放了進去，又把所有能找到的衣服都蓋在了孩子們身上。
    During the night, it got terribly cold.
    夜里，天冷得厲害。
    The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small.
    這位婦女盡可能地靠近孩子，甚至自己也想鉆進箱子里去，只是箱子太小了。
    Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal.
    第二天一大早，她聽到頭頂上有飛機飛過，但不知道怎樣才能發(fā)個信號。
    Then she had an idea.
    后來她有了一個主意。
    She stamped out the letters 'SOS' in the snow.
    她在雪地上踩出了“SOS”這3個字母。
    Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town.
    幸運得很，一位飛行員看到這個信號，用無線電給近的城鎮(zhèn)發(fā)了報。
    It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.
    不久，一架直升飛機飛抵飛機失事現(xiàn)場，來搭救這幾個幸存者。
