(Reuters) - An international rescue effort was under way in high winds after a car ferry carrying 466 passengers and crew caught fire while sailing from Greece to Italy and its captain ordered its evacuation, officials said on Sunday. （路透社）——官方在周日称，一艘载有466名乘客和工作人员的汽车渡轮在从希腊出发到意大利的途中因急风起火，船长下令紧急疏散，国际救援正在紧张展开中。 Passengers who telephoned Greek television stations gave dramatic testimony of conditions on the ship, which caught fire just before 6.00 a.m. local time (11.00 p.m. EST) while traveling from Patras in western Greece to the eastern Italian city of Ancona. 当地时间就在早上6点前（东时区晚上11点），从希腊西边的佩特雷开往意大利东部城市安科纳的渡轮上，致电希腊电视台的乘客发回了船上揪人心弦的实况转述。 "They tried to lower some boats, but not all of us could get in. There is no coordination," one said. "It's dark, the bottom of the vessel is on fire. We are on the bridge, we can see a boat approaching... we opened some boxes and got some life vests, we are trying to save ourselves." “他们试图放一些船下去，但是不是我们所有人都能乘上去。没人来协调，”一名乘客说道。“天很黑，船底部失火了。我们都在夹板上，我们能看到一只船向我们靠近……我们打开一些箱子找到了一些救生衣，我们试图自救。” |
