双语新闻：孟加拉国渡轮事故数十人失踪 Scores Missing After Bangladesh Ferry Accident

08 February, 2013

孟加拉国中部地区的官员说，一艘运载100多名乘客的渡轮与一艘运沙驳船碰撞后倾覆。

有关当局说，“萨拉什号”渡轮星期五在蒙希甘杰地区的梅克纳河上倾覆，目前还有数十人下落不明。

地方官员说，至少已有25人获救。还有几个人是游泳上岸的。

孟加拉国缺乏严格的安全标准，而且船只常常超载，因此长期以来不断发生船运灾难。

Officials in central Bangladesh say a ferry carrying more than 100 passengers has capsized, after colliding with a barge laden with sand.

Authorities say scores of people are missing after the MV Sarash overturned Friday in the Meghna River in the Munshiganj district.

Local officials say at least 25 people have been rescued. Several others swam ashore.

Bangladesh has a history of boating disasters because of its lax safety standards and frequent overloading of vessels.
