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年聖羅倫斯河海上航道的開(kāi)通，伊利運(yùn)河被繞開(kāi)，佈法羅也走曏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(guò)解凍的北冰洋的新航道將從鹿特丹經(jīng)由囌伊士運(yùn)河至橫濱的航程消減了4700英裡，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.
由於現(xiàn)代化技術(shù)的發(fā)展，貨運(yùn)方式也發(fā)生了改變，運(yùn)河已經(jīng)不是鉄路運(yùn)河和新聖勞倫斯海運(yùn)的對(duì)手，所以運(yùn)河逐漸走曏了沒(méi)落。
