How to say "trapped" in Japanese


My dictionary says 罠にかかる but I imagine that that is for snares. How would you
say trapped as in "I am trapped under rubble" or "The people were trapped
under a building."?




（罠に）かかる is as you said appropiate for snares. You could use 閉じ込める (active). So
if you were trapped under rubble you can use passive form:

> がれきの中に閉じ込められた。
