　　Lesson 64:The Channel Tunnel 英吉利海峽隧道

　　In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.

　　句子講解：

　　1、In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thovme de Gamond，arrived in England with a plan for a twenty- one-mile tunnel under the English Channel.

　　1858年，一位名叫埃梅.托梅.德.干蒙的法國工程師帶著建造一條21英里、穿越英吉利海峽隧道的計(jì)劃到了英國。

　　語言點(diǎn) a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel, for之后的內(nèi)容是plan的后置定語從句。

　　2、He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel.

　　他說，可以在隧道中央建造一座平臺(tái)。

　　語言點(diǎn) that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，it是賓語從句的形式主語，不定式to build是真正主語。

　　3、This platform would serve as a port and a railway station.

　　這座平臺(tái)將用作碼頭和火車站。

　　語言點(diǎn) serve as...充當(dāng)……

　　4、The tunnel would be well-venlilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level.

　　如果再建些伸出海面的高大的煙由狀通風(fēng)管，隧道就具備了良好的通風(fēng)條件。
