當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間7月13日凌晨4點(diǎn)左右,巴基斯坦南部地區(qū)發(fā)生三列載客列車(chē)相撞事故,造成13節(jié)車(chē)廂脫軌,目前已有至少120人死亡。外電報(bào)道如下:Three passenger trains crashed in southern Pakistan early Wednesday, killing at least 60 people and injuring hundreds more, officials said. State television reported more than 100 were feared dead.
The accident occurred at about 4 a.m. when a train sitting in a station near Ghotki, in southern Sindh province, was rear-ended by a second train, said Abdul Aziz, a senior controller at Pakistan Railways.
The collision caused several cars to derail and spill over onto another track, where they were struck by a third train, causing further derailment, he said.
Rear-end表示“追尾”,即一車(chē)從后面撞上另一輛車(chē),例如:My car was rear-ended by a truck.(我的小車(chē)被一輛卡車(chē)追尾。)
據(jù)悉,當(dāng)時(shí)一列火車(chē)在巴南部信德省的一個(gè)車(chē)站附近停留時(shí)被另一列火車(chē)追尾,造成數(shù)節(jié)車(chē)廂出軌;脫軌的車(chē)廂倒在另一個(gè)鐵軌上,這時(shí)從該軌道上迎面駛來(lái)的第三列火車(chē)又與這幾節(jié)車(chē)廂相撞,造成更多車(chē)廂出軌。
