Cave rescue: Elation as Thai boys and coach freed by divers
泰國足球隊13人全數自洞窟中獲救
Joy and relief have greeted the rescue of 12 boys and their football coach from flooded caves in northern Thailand after divers completed a daring operation to bring them out.
泰國北部，潛水夫們勇敢地完成了這次營救行動，把12名男孩和他們的足球教練救出被暴雨淹沒的洞穴時，人們高興萬分，如釋重負。
Seventeen days after they got trapped underground, the last five members of the group emerged on Tuesday.
他們已經被困在洞穴內17天。這個星期二（7月10日），最後一批5名成員被成功救出。
Their plight and the complex three-day-long operation to free them gripped the world's attention.
他們所處的困境和長達3天的複雜營救行動引發了全世界的關注。
The group was cut off on 23 June after heavy rains flooded their way back out of Tham Luang.
這一行人在6月23日與外界失去聯繫，當時暴雨淹沒了他們從清萊Tham Luang洞穴返回的路。
Aged between about 11 and 17, the members of the Wild Boars football team had entered the cave system during an excursion with their coach.
他們都是「野豬」足球隊的成員，跟著教練遠足時進入了這個洞穴，隊員們的年齡在11歲到17歲之間。
They were found by British divers last week, huddled in darkness on a ledge.
上周，英國潛水夫發現了他們，當時他們全都擠在一處岩脊上，四周漆黑一片。
Elation at the discovery of all 13 members of the group alive quickly turned to concern as it emerged just how difficult it would be to rescue boys who could not swim and had been weakened by their time underground.
人們最初發現這13人還活著時非常開心，但很快地就轉為擔憂，因為想要救出他們太困難了，其中一些孩子不會游泳，而且由於在洞穴裡呆了太久，身體很虛弱。
The complex, three-day operation saw four boys emerge on Sunday, four on Monday, and the final four boys plus their coach on Tuesday. All were immediately taken to hospital, but they are said to be in reasonable condition given their ordeal.
在持續3天的複雜營救行動中，星期日、星期一分別有4個孩子被救出，星期二，最後4個孩子和教練被救出。他們都被立即送往醫院，但據稱雖然經歷了這些折騰，他們的身體狀況還不錯。
Confirming the completion of the rescue operation, the Thai Navy Seals Facebook page announced: "We are not sure if this is a miracle, science, or what. All the 13 Wild Boars are now out of the cave."
泰國皇家海軍海豹突擊隊在官方臉書發佈消息確認救援行動圓滿完成：「我們不知道這是奇跡、科學，還是別的什麼。13名野豬隊的成員都已經離開了山洞。」
A team of 90 expert divers - 40 from Thailand and 50 from overseas - worked in the Tham Luang caves.
90位專業潛水夫參與了這次洞穴營救，其中40人來自泰國，50人來自其他國家。
They guided the boys and their coach through darkness and submerged passageways towards the mouth of the cave system.
他們指導孩子們和教練穿過黑暗的洞穴，在被淹沒處潛水，游向出口。
Getting to and from the trapped group was an exhausting round trip, even for experienced divers.
就算是經驗豐富的潛水人員，往返於洞穴出口和被困人員之間也非常耗費體力。
The process included a mixture of walking, wading, climbing and diving along guide ropes.
在這一路程中，潛水員們需要根據地勢沿著導引繩行走、涉水、攀爬和潛水。
Wearing full-face masks, which are easier for novice divers than traditional respirators, each boy was accompanied by two divers, who also carried his air supply.
營救人員為被困者準備了全罩潛水鏡，對初學潛水的人來說，這比傳統的呼吸面罩更容易佩戴。每個孩子由兩位潛水員陪伴，潛水員還要攜帶氧氣瓶。
The toughest part was about halfway out at a section named "T-Junction", which was so tight that the divers had to take off their air tanks to get through.
路程中間的「T形交叉口」是最難通行的一段，這裡十分狹窄，潛水員需要卸下氧氣瓶才能通過。
Beyond that a cavern - called Chamber 3 - was turned into a forward base for the divers.
此外，一個名為「第3室」的洞穴還成為了大家的前線基地。
There the boys could rest before making the last, easier walk out to the entrance. They were then taken to hospital in Chiang Rai.
孩子們可以在這裡休息，之後他們就能走出洞穴，最後的一段路程相對輕鬆。出來之後他們就被送往清萊的醫院。
Global football body FIFA offered the 12 young footballers tickets for Sunday's World Cup final in Moscow, but they are too weak to travel.

Manchester United - the English club several of the boys support - has offered them the chance to attend a game.
