breath. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as you're not held up at the airport, but
it's an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft (气垫船) if you don't mind the noise and that
takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your sea-sickness pills. All these means
of transport have their problems, and the weary (厌烦的) traveler often dreams of being able to drive to
France in his own car. "Not possible, you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the
idea of a channel tunnel or bridge." This time, the great London Council (议会) is looking into the possibility
of building a channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be
able to by rail or by car on a bridge, yet a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a result of
joining EEC (欧洲经济共同体)? Well, perhaps, the main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would
reach the twenty square kilometers of London's discussed dockland (船坞). A link from London to the
continent would stimulate (刺激) trade and revitalize (使重新具有活力) the port, and would make London
a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England
and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!
