法国有这么一条路，走着走着有可能就没了...

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.

位于法国的格伊斯通道(Passage du Gois)，将Noirmoutier岛与法国大陆相连。但是这条路每天都会两次被淹没在1.3-4米的海水中，并在一天中的大部分时间持续被淹没。

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.

同时，这条4.5千米长的公路也会随着潮汐变化，有一天两次的通车时间，通常为一到两个小时。

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

在道路露出海面之上时自行车赛手骑过格伊斯通道。

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

但其实一天中的绝大部分时间，道路都是完全淹没在水中的。

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

穿越格伊斯通道其实是极其危险的，除非你在船上或潜水器里。

But some people just ignore the sign.

但是还是有人不在乎这个警告。

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.

每年都有成千上万的游客来此观看每天两次的惊人(或可怕)的奇观，结果造成了这样的交通堵塞。

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

顺便说一下，这绝对不是什么旅游的好地方。

Imagine driving along this road.

想象一下独自在这条路上驰骋

Now you see it.

有时候你看到的是这样的

Now you don’t.
