記得SINDY有帶大家去看巴拿馬運河，今天我?guī)Т蠹胰タ纯刺K伊士運河吧
The entire length of Egypt's Suez Canal (dark north-south line) is visible in this low-oblique (傾斜的) tending from the port city of Suez in the south to Port Said in the north, a distance of approximately (大約) 100 miles (160 kilometers), the canal connects the Red Sea with the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  蘇伊士運河(Suez Canal)位于埃及境內(nèi)，是連通歐亞非三大洲的主要國際海運航道，連接紅海與地中海，使大西洋、地中海與印度洋聯(lián)結起來，大大縮短了東西方航程。與繞道非洲好望角相比，從歐洲大西洋沿岸各國到印度洋縮短５５００８００９公里；從地中海各國到印度洋縮短８０００１００００公里；對黑海沿岸來說，則縮短了１２０００公里，它是一條在國際航運中具有重要戰(zhàn)略意義的國際海運航道，每年承擔著全世界１４％的海運貿(mào)易。 Egypt's Suez Canal was completed in 1869, to shorten the route between Europe and the Indian Ocean. It can accommodate (容納,適應) some of the world's largest cargo (貨物) vessels (船) and naval (海軍的) ships. 蘇伊士運河于1869年完工，縮短了歐洲和印度洋之間的航程，能容納世界上大量的貨物，船只以及航艦  It had no locks because there is no great difference between the levels of the Red and Mediterranean Seas. Most of the canal can handle only single-lane traffic. When the canal was constructed it measured 8 metres deep, 22 metres wide at the bottom and about 70 metres wide at the surface. It has been enlarged (擴大)several times to handle (應付) bigger ships and more traffic. At present about 25,000 ships pass through the canal every year. The Suez Canal is called "ganatus- subways" in Arabic. 運河并沒有被鎖上因為紅海和地中海之間的水位差別并不是很大。大多數(shù)的運河只能通過單航線的運輸。當運河剛建成的時候只有規(guī)定的8米深，底部22米寬，河表面只有70米寬。后來經(jīng)過幾次的擴大和加深，已經(jīng)可以運行越來越大的船只和越來越多的運輸。目前每年的通航量大約有2.5萬。被稱為阿拉伯的“水上地鐵”  Suez Canal, Gulf of Suez, Sinai Peninsula, United Arab Republic (Egypt), Mediterranean Sea, as seen from the Apollo 7 spacecraft during its 13th revolution (繞轉) of the earth. Photographed from an altitude (高度) of 126 nautical (航海的) miles, at ground elapsed time (共用...時) of 19 hours and 42 minutes.  蘇伊士運河唯一的跨海大橋--“穆巴拉克大橋”  |
