印度震惊中国将在珠穆朗玛峰下建铁路隧道.docVIP

　　据报道，作为把铁路线延伸到尼泊尔的一部分，中国计划在埃佛勒斯峰下修建隧道，也就是藏语所说的珠穆朗玛峰。　　“这条线路可能要穿过珠穆朗玛峰，工人可能要挖很长的隧道。”铁路专家王梦恕对《中国日报》记者如是说。他说，沿线的地形高度落差显著，且地形复杂，使得任何开往尼泊尔的火车的最大速度只能达到每小时120千米。　　　 　BEIJING: China is planning to build a tunnel under Mount Everest, called Qomolangma in Tibetan, as part of its plan to extend its rail link to Nepal, the state run China Daily said on Thursday.　　　　 “The line will probably have to go through Qomolangma so that workers may have to dig some very long tunnels,” railway expert Wang Mengshu told China Daily.　　　　 资料图　　据官方的中国日报周四报道，作为把铁路线延伸到尼泊尔的一部分，中国计划在埃佛勒斯峰下修建隧道，也就是藏语所说的珠穆朗玛峰。　　　　“这条线路可能要穿过珠穆朗玛峰，工人可能要挖很长的隧道。”铁路专家王梦恕对《中国日报》记者如是说。　　 　 　He said that the changes in elevation along the line were remarkable and added that the speed of trains on the proposed Nepal line would be restricted at 120 km per hour because of the difficult mountain terrain.　　　 　This is the first time a tunnel plan has been revealed to reach Nepal. China had earlier discussed extending the Qinghai-Lhasa line to the Nepalese border without digging a tunnel.　　　　他说，沿线的地形高度落差显著，且地形复杂，使得任何开往尼泊尔的火车的最大速度只能达到每小时120千米。　　这是通往尼泊尔的隧道计划头一次公开。早些时候，中国讨论在不采取挖隧道的情况下把青藏铁路延伸到尼泊尔边界。　　　 　Sources said the idea was to find a short route to Nepal for accessing the vast Indian market. Besides, China might be trying to involve Nepal for its Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar (BCIM) project because New Delhi has shown little enthusiasm for this corridor, sources said.　　　　 “If the proposal becomes a reality, bilateral trade, especially in agricultural products, will get a strong boost, along with tourism and people-to-people exchange,” Wang said.　　 　　消息人士称，这一主意是为了寻找一条通往尼泊尔的短路线，从而进入庞大的印度市场。此外，消息人士说，中国也许在设法让尼泊尔参与孟中印缅（BCIM）项目，因为新德里对该走廊没有表现出多少热情。　　　　“如果提议成为现实，双边关系，特别是农产品（的贸易），以及旅游业的发展和人民之间的交流，会得到有力推动。”　　 　 　The Nepal rail project, which has been taken up at Kathmandu’s request, will be completed by 2020, China Daily quoted a Tibetan official as saying. The project was discussed during the visit of C
