工程奇迹(An engineering marvel)
在这里,我们看到的是印度卡纳塔克邦最长的铁路桥沙拉瓦蒂桥。它长2060米,跨越沙拉瓦蒂河,承载着孔坎铁路。这座桥建于1984年,是全球公认的工程奇迹。在20世纪,建造这座桥的项目被认为是最大的,也许是最复杂的铁路工程(至少在世界这一地区)。Konkan铁路有2000多座桥梁和91条隧道,穿越一些最恶劣的地形。

Here, we are looking at the Sharavati Bridge, the longest railway bridge in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is 2,060 meters long and it carries the Konkan Railway over the Sharavati river. Constructed in 1984, the bridge is recognized around the globe as an engineering wonder. During the 20th century, the project to construct this bridge was considered to be the biggest and perhaps the most complicated railway undertaking (at least in this part of the world). The Konkan Railway has over 2,000 bridges and 91 tunnels constructed through some of the toughest terrains.
