新概念英语第二册第64课 Lesson 64 The Channel Tunnel 海峡隧道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 Britishhad 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.
