seaway canal

基本解释

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通，伊利運河被繞開，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%.
穿過解凍的北冰洋的新航道將從鹿特丹經由囌伊士運河至橫濱的航程消減了4700英裡，節省了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.
由於現代化技術的發展，貨運方式也發生了改變，運河已經不是鉄路運河和新聖勞倫斯海運的對手，所以運河逐漸走曏了沒落。
