Chinese Translation

I tried to post this on the "ESL Help & Other Languages SYW" area but got an error after putting in the forum password so hopefully someone here can help.


I need to have some dialogue translated into Chinese (Mandarin I presume; this is a distress call from some researchers doing field work in a dangerous location who have come under attack).


The dialogue is simply "Mayday!" (Or SOS or the Chinese equivalent) then "They bombed us!" or "They are bombing us".


(I'd try online translation but if the Chinese have a standard distress call like our "MayDay" it might not come out right).


Thanks!

Thank you Snitchcat and SinoFyl - both those answers are very helpful, and sorry it took ages to look back here and see your replies. In answer to those questions, the person making the call is a civilian who was travelling with soldiers for protection, but they just got killed. He's making the distress call in a blind panic, so won't be particularly formal in how he phrases it. A westerner would know to say "Mayday" so I was after the Chinese equivalent of that standard distress word (if there is one) followed by "They're bombing us!" From your replies it sounds like "Jiù Mìng! Tāmen hōngzhà wõmen!" is good. (Limited by iPhone accents - couldn't do tone 3 on "o", and hope I got the others right).
Thanks again.

That's exactly what I need, thanks for all replies.
