Channel Tunnel 英吉利海峡隧道 The Channel Tunnel (French: Le tunnel sous la Manche), also known by the portmanteau Chunnel[1], is a 50.5-kilometre (31.4 mi) undersea rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent in England with Coquelles near Calais in northern France beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover. At its lowest point it is 75 m (250 ft) deep.[2] The Channel Tunnel has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world, but the Seikan Tunnel in Japan is both longer and deeper overall, at 53.85 kilometres (33.5 mi) and 240 metres (790 ft) respectively. 英吉利海峡隧道（法国称之为拉芒什海峡隧道），又称英法海底隧 道或欧洲隧道，是一条横贯英法之间多佛海峡的海底铁路隧道，它西 起英国的福克斯特（Folkestone）和肯特（Kent），东至法国北部加来 （Calais）附近的考克莱尔（Coquelles），全长 50.5km。英吉利海峡隧道最 低点 75m 深，其海底部分为世界最长，总长度也仅次于日本的青函海 底隧道，青函海底隧道长 53.85km，埋深为 240m。 The tunnel carries high-speed Eurostar passenger trains, Eurotunnel ro-ro vehicle transport and international rail freight trains. In 1996 the American Society of Civil Engineers identified the tunnel as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. 隧道中运行的火车有“欧洲之星”高速旅客列车、装载公 车辆的 区间列车、以及国际铁 货运列车。美国土木工程学会 1996 年称之为 现代世界的七大奇迹之一。 Surveying undertaken in the 20 years before tunnel construction confirmed earlier speculations that a tunnel route could be bored through a chalk marl stratum. The chalk marl was conducive to tunnelling, with impermeability, ease of excavation and strength. While on the English side the chalk marl ran along the entire length of the tunnel, on the French side a length of 5 kilometres (3 mi) had variable and difficult geology. The Channel Tunnel consists of three bores: two 7.6-metre (25 ft) diameter rail tunnels, 30 metres (98 ft
