时间：2019-02-18 作者：英语课 分类：CCTV9英语新闻2014年05月
It’s been almost one month since more than 200 schoolgirls were abducted 1 by members of the Islamist extremist group, Boko Haram, from the northeastern Nigerian town of Chibok. Parents are still waiting anxiously for news of their daughters. But two girls, who managed to escape their captors, recounted their ordeal 2 to local residents.
"They took us away in a convoy 3 of lorries. We traveled through the night before reaching the final destination in the forest. The following day we were sent to fetch water. That was when we seized the opportunity and bolted. Even when they were shooting at us, we took the chance and God helped us arrive in Chibok two days later," Nigerian abduction escapee said.
"They threatened to shoot anyone who tried to escape. As the vehicle slowed down along the road, I jumped down with my friend. We spent the night in the bush and trekked 4 back to Chibok the next day," Nigerian abduction escapee said.
China, the United States, France and the UK have all pledged to assist Nigeria in rescuing the other schoolgirls who remain captive. The US has already sent teams of technical experts to assist the Nigerian government’s search effort. More than 300 girls were abducted on April 15th from their school in the country’s remote northeast. Fifty-three escaped, while 276 are still being held.
