The Chunnel, the Channel Tunnel, the Euro Tunnel is actually three tunnels. Two are for trains, one is for service and security. It stretches more than 31 miles under the English Channel. And when it was built in the 1980s and `90s, it went way over budget, costing billions of euros. A proposed tunnel connecting Denmark and Germany wouldn`t be as long, but it could be the longest that included both a road and a rail line.

英吉利海峡隧道是由三条隧道组成,其中两条是火车营运,另外一条是用于服务和运营安全。它横跨英吉利海峡,长约31英里。在二十世纪八九十年代建造的时候,该海峡的建造超出预算,花费了数百亿欧元。人们提议建立一个连接丹麦和德国的隧道,该隧道可能没有英吉利海峡隧道那么长,但是会成为涵盖公路线和铁路线最长的隧道。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A new underwater tunnel could help travelers going from Copenhagen, Denmark to Hamburg, Germany cut their travel time by about two hours.

男:这条新的海底隧道会让游客们从哥本哈根、丹麦到汉堡、德国的时间缩短约两个小时。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That`s the idea behind a proposed 11 mile tunnel called Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link. Builders say it would be the world`s longest combination road and rail tunnel.

男:建造这个长约11英里的隧道,支持它的思想叫做费马恩带固定桥。建造者称这将会成为世界上最长的铁路-公路隧道。

According to its Web site, the tunnel would cut crossing time across The Baltic Sea from a 45 minute ferry ride to only seven to 10 minutes in a car or a train.

根据其网站的报道,原来穿越波罗地海需要45分钟,而现在通过该隧道,乘坐汽车或火车仅需要7至10分钟。

Here`s how they plan to build it.

下面是他们的修建计划。

Concrete sections of the tunnel will be built on land then floated out to sea. A trench will be dug on the ocean floor about 100 feet down. The concrete sections will be dropped into the trench, followed by other sections, until the tunnel is complete.

该隧道的实体部分将会在路上修建,然后再放到海面。会在海底挖深约100英尺的沟渠。隧道的实体部分以及其他的部分会被放到沟槽处,直到隧道完成。

Finally, the sections will be buried. If built, this tunnel would be about a third as long as the Chunnel rail tunnel, which connects England and France.

最后,所有的部分都将被填埋。如果该隧道建成,将会成为第三个与英吉利海峡铁路隧道同等长度的隧道。而英吉利海峡铁路隧道联通了英国和法国。

Estimated price tag, $10 billion.

估计造价10亿美元。

A bill approving the project has passed in Denmark`s parliament. But some opposition remains in Germany. Germany will finance its own rail and road construction for the tunnel, which the Web site says should be finished by 2024.

批准该项目的一个法案已经在丹麦议会上通过。但是德国仍存在反对意见,德国将自己出资修建德国隧道部分的铁路和公路。网站称估计在2024年完成。

Coming Soon: World`s Longest Road-Rail Tunnel
