法國有這么一條路，走著走著有可能就沒了...

This is the Passage du Gois in France, connecting the island of Noirmoutier to the mainland in the department of Vendée. Twice a day, this roadway is flooded with 1.3 to 4 meters of water, and remains flooded for the majority of the day.

位于法國的格伊斯通道(Passage du Gois)，將Noirmoutier島與法國大陸相連。但是這條路每天都會兩次被淹沒在1.3-4米的海水中，并在一天中的大部分時間持續(xù)被淹沒。

An amazing thing also happens twice a day when this 4.5 km highway becomes visible and accessible to traffic, which happens for an hour or two.

同時，這條4.5千米長的公路也會隨著潮汐變化，有一天兩次的通車時間，通常為一到兩個小時。

Cyclists crossing the Passage du Grois because the road for now is above water.

在道路露出海面之上時自行車賽手騎過格伊斯通道。

But for most hours of the day, the road is completely submerged in water.

但其實一天中的絕大部分時間，道路都是完全淹沒在水中的。

Crossing it is obviously perilous, unless you re in a boat or a submersible vehicle.

穿越格伊斯通道其實是極其危險的，除非你在船上或潛水器里。

But some people just ignore the sign.

但是還是有人不在乎這個警告。

And even this.

Passage du Gois attracts thousands of visitors a year to watch the twice daily amazing (or frightening ) event, resulting to a traffic jam like this.

每年都有成千上萬的游客來此觀看每天兩次的驚人(或可怕)的奇觀，結(jié)果造成了這樣的交通堵塞。

Which is, by the way, not a good place to be.

順便說一下，這絕對不是什么旅游的好地方。

Imagine driving along this road.

想象一下獨自在這條路上馳騁

Now you see it.

有時候你看到的是這樣的

Now you don’t.
