1. Engineers say a disaster is unlikely in the Chunnel because it wouldn't be flooded by a bomb. The tunnel is too far beneath the sea floor.
    工程师说隧道里不可能发生意外灾难，因为它不可能被炸弹炸开而涌进水，隧道在海底的深处。

2. When it really opens, probably in October, the 31-mile Channel Tunnel (the Chunnel, for short) will be 15 months behind schedule and $7 billion over a budget set in 1987.
    当隧道正式开放时(可能是在10月)，这条长31英里的英吉利海峡隧道（以下简称隧道）的开通将比预期推迟15个月，耗资将比1987年的预算多出70亿美元。

3. The roar of the train reverberated in the tunnel.
    火车的轰隆声在隧道里回荡.

4. The tunnel would be well- ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea-level.
    假如高大的烟囱状通风管伸出海面的话，这条隧道的通风将是良好的。

5. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it.
    这样就可以解决通风问题，因为如果一列火车开进隧道，它后面就会带进新鲜空气。

6. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level.
    如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管，隧道就具备了良好的通风条件。

7. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it.
    这样就解决了通风问题。因为如果有列火车开进隧道，它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道。

8. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel.
    世界不得不再等将近100年才看到海峡隧道竣工。

9. The British think a sick animal will drag itself through the tunnel and introduce the island nation to new diseases.
    而英国人却认为一只病兽将会拖着病躯穿过海峡，给他们的岛国带来新的疾病。

10. The key to escape is the smaller tunnel that runs between the two train tunnels.
    逃生出口的关键所在是运行于两条火车主隧道间的一条小隧道。
