生活口语

Help! I am stuck in the elevator and cannot get out.

救命！我被关在电梯里出不去了。

Hold on! I will get some people to get you out.

坚持住！我去找人把你救出来。

重点讲解:

I was locked in the elevator and cannot get out.

I am stuck in the elevator and cannot get out.

动词lock的意思是“锁上；锁住”，而stick在口语中也有“困住；阻塞”的意思，不过在表达“被困在电梯里”的时候，老外更常用的是stick。这句话还可以翻译为：The elevator is stuck and I cannot get out.
