seaway canal

基本解釋

The slump began in earnest after the opening in 1959 of the St Lawrence Seaway, which bypassed the Erie Canal.
伴隨著1959年圣羅倫斯河海上航道的開通，伊利運河被繞開，布法羅也走向了真正意義上的衰落。
A new seaway through an unfrozen Arctic Ocean would cut the journey from Rotterdam to Yokohama via the Suez canal by 4,700 miles, a saving of 42%.
穿過解凍的北冰洋的新航道將從鹿特丹經(jīng)由蘇伊士運河至橫濱的航程消減了4700英里，節(jié)省了42%。
In spite of this modernization, trade had changed. The waterway could no longer compete against railroads or the new St. Lawrence Seaway, and traffic on the canal dwindled.
由于現(xiàn)代化技術(shù)的發(fā)展，貨運方式也發(fā)生了改變，運河已經(jīng)不是鐵路運河和新圣勞倫斯海運的對手，所以運河逐漸走向了沒落。
