Lesson64TheChannelTunnelByTinaBackgroundinformation英吉利海峡隧道（TheChannelTunnel)又称英法海底隧道或欧洲隧道（Eurotunnel)，是一条把英国英伦三岛连接往欧洲法国的铁路隧道，于1994年5月6日开通。它由三条长51km的平行隧洞组成，总长度153km，其中海底段的隧洞长度为3×38km，是目前世界上最长的海底隧道。从1986年2月12日法、英两国签订关于隧道连接的坎特布利条约（TreatyofCanterbury)到1994年5月7日正式通车，历时8年多，耗资约100亿英镑（约150亿美元），也是世界上规模最大的利用私人资本建造的工程项目。隧道长度50千米，仅次于日本青函隧道。海底长度39千米。单程需35分钟。TheChannelTunnel----Theworld'slongestunderseatunnelChannelTunnelLength:560km(350miles)Width:34-240km(21-150miles)(ItsnarrowestpartisbetweenDoverinEnglandandCapeGris-Nez,nearGalasis,inFrance.)Depth:120-45meters(400-500feet)(1km=0.6214miles)(1meter=3.28feet)TheEnglishChannel中文：英吉利海峡隧道英文：(TheEnglishChannelTunnel）昵称：Chunnel法文：letunnelsouslaManche又称：海峡隧道、英法海底隧道或欧洲隧道(EuroTunnel)•Thetunnelconsistsofthreeinterconnectedtubes:onerailtrackeachwayplusoneservicetunnel•Itslengthis31milesofwhich23milesareunderwater•Itsaveragedepthis150feetunderwaterChannelTunnelInauguration•OnMay6th,1994,FranceandBritainopenedaneweraintheirhistoryofconflict.TheFrenchPresidentandtheBritishQueencuttheribbonatthededicationceremonyfortheChunnel.NewwordsandexpressionsWords/phrases单词与词组tunneln.隧道portn.港口ventilatev.通风chimneyn.烟囱sealevel海平面doubleadj.双的ventilationn.通风platformn.平台fearv.害怕invasionn.入侵，侵略officiallyadv.正式地connectv.连接Europeanadj.欧洲的continentn.大陆possibleadj.可能的freshadj.新鲜的Words/phrases单词与词组Frenchengineer法国工程师inthecentreof…在…的中心serveas…用作railwaystation火车站well-ventilated通风好的putforward…提出…solvetheproblem解决问题drawin抽进freshair新鲜空气connect..to/with…把…与…连接起来•channel['tʃænəl]•Channel:频道teachingchannel教学频道•communicationchannel交流频道•Canwechangeanotherchannel?•Wecan'tgetchannel4onourtelevision。我们的电视收不到4频道。•TheChannelTunnel海峡隧道•channelv传递•Shechannelherinformationtome.她把她的信息传递给我•1.tunnel['tʌnəl]n.隧道•TheChannelTunnel海峡隧道•thetrainpassedthroughseveraltunnels.火车要穿过好几个隧道。•Lightattheendofthetunnel。苦尽甘来•tunnelv开，挖，隧道。•Thetunnelcutsthroughthemountain隧道穿山而过。•2.port[pɔ:t,pəut]n.港口•passport护照•enteraport进入一个港口makeaport•leaveaport离开一个港口clearaport•afreeport自由港•portwine葡萄酒•Eg：Thetyphoonstoppedtheshipfromleavingtheport.台风阻止船出港•3.ventilate['ventileit]v.通风•well-ventilatedadj通风良好的（只能做定语）•ourclassroomiswell-ventilated.•myofficeispoorly-ventilated.我的办公室通风不好•4.ventilation[,venti'leiʃən]n.通风•putaproblemtoventilation畅谈•ventilator通风设备，通风口•airing通风口•5.chimney['tʃimni]n.烟囱•sweepachimney=cleanachimney清扫烟囱•ablockedchimney堵塞的烟囱•factorychimney/chimneys工厂的烟囱•itissaidthatFatherChristmasgivesthechildrenpresentthroughthechimney.=itissaidthatFatherChristmascomesdownchimneytobringpresents.•6.sealevel['levəl]海平面•sea大海level水平，海拔。•leveln.高度altitude•1）水平•onethousandmetresabovesealevel海拔1000米•2）n,高度，等级•thelevelofthewater水位•highlevel高水平的，高级的•lowlevel低级的，低水平的•ahigherlevelofcivilization高度文明•3）adj平的•alevelsurface平坦的表面•theroadislevel.路是平的•4）adj相同程度的；势均力敌的•alevelrace一场势均力敌的比赛•inleveltones一个调•inalevelvoice平和的语气•doone'slevelbest=tryone'sbest=doone'spossible尽最大的努力•7.double['dʌbl]adj.双的•反义词single•adoubleroom双人房间adoublebed双人床•doublechin双下巴•doublenegative双重否定•doublestandard双重标准•doubletalk含糊其辞的话•seedouble看成双影•doublecheck仔细检查•paydouble付两倍的钱•doubleone'ssalary薪水加倍•8.fear[fiə]v.害怕=terror•1）n.害怕•Thesoldierdidn'tshowhisfear.这个士兵没有显示出畏惧的神色。•afearofheights恐高症•haveagreatfearofsth极度害怕某物•2）v.害怕……=beafraidof•Hefearsdeath.他怕死•Hefearsillness.他怕生病•neverfear!别担心=don’tworry•Shefearedtospeakinthepublic.她害怕在公共场合说话。•feardoing•hefearedstayingaloneinthedark.他害怕一个人呆在黑暗处。•feartodosth害怕做某事•shefearedtospeakinthepublic.他害怕在公共场合说话。•afearfulstorm一场恐怖的暴风雨•3）adj.fearful恐怖的•befearfulof害怕……•Thebabyisfearfulofdark.这个婴儿怕黑。•[派生词]•fearless['fiəlis]adj.无畏的•9.invasion[in'veiʒən]n.入侵，侵略•invadevt入侵、蜂拥•invadeavillage入侵一个小村庄•Thetouristsinvadethecity.游客蜂拥进这个城市•invadesb'srights侵犯某人的权利•invadern入侵者•theinvisionofPolandbyGermany德国对波兰的入侵•10.officially[ə'fiʃəli]adv.正式地•officen办公室officerofficial•office办公室•officer军官•officialadj.官方的•anofficialdecision官方的决定•anofficialannoucement官方声明•governmentofficials政府官员•officiallyadv•announceofficially正式地公告•11.connect[kə'nekt]v.连接•connectionn•ConnectionbetweenAandB.•connectthiscomputerwiththatcomputer•connectthemousetothecomputer•connectwith并列的连接•connectto连接向……•Connectthiscomputerwiththatcomputer•把这台电脑和那台电脑连接起来。•Ahighwayconnectsthetwocities.•这条公路把两座城市连接起来。•12.continent['kɔntinənt]n.大陆•theContinents：（大陆）•Asia亚洲•NorthAfrica北非•SouthAfrica南非•NorthAmerica北美洲•SouthAmerica南美洲•Oceania大洋洲•Europe欧洲,,portventilateTunnelchimneydoublesealevelFearinvasioncontinentconnectofficiallyEuropeLanguagepoints•1.In1858,aFrenchengineer,AimeThomedeGamond,arrivedinEnglandwithaplanforatwenty-one-miletunnelundertheEnglishChannel.•1858年，一位名叫埃梅.托梅.德.干蒙的法国工程师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海陕的隧道计划到了英国。•1.aFrenchengineer,AimeThomedeGamond,同位语•outteacherspiderman，isagoodteacher.•twenty-one-mile形容词（只能做定语）•plantodosth计划做某事•2.HesaidthatitwouldbepossibletobuildaplatforminthecentreoftheChannel.•他说，可以在隧道中央建造一座平台.•thatitwouldbepossibletobuildaplatforminthecentreoftheChannel.宾语从句•inthecentre只能指空间上的中间•platform平台、站台、月台•3.Thisplatformwouldserveasaportandarailwaystation.•这座平台将用作码头和火车站。•serveas起..作用,担任，充当=servefor..•servesbwith用。。。招待•xxservedme
