8月15日,巴拿马运河将庆祝通航100周年。届时将在米拉弗洛雷斯水闸举行庆祝仪式,随后还将举行一场有2000名宾客出席的“百年庆典”。这些宾客包括国际船运业的代表、船主、造船业者、保险业者以及船只运营者等等。这场盛事将把值得庆祝的一年多的活动推向高潮。巴拿马运河这一工程壮举历时35年完成,它目前仍雄踞“世界现代七大工程奇迹”中历史最悠久的地位,其他“奇迹”包括英法海峡隧道和金门大桥等。遗憾的是,百年庆典原本的重头戏——也就是为扩建后的巴拿马运河水闸揭幕——尚未准备就绪。将把巴拿马运河引入新时代的扩建后的新水闸预计要到2015年6月才能
August 15, the Panama Canal will celebrate the 100th anniversary of navigation. There will be a celebration ceremony at the Miraflores sluice, followed by a “Centenary Celebration” with 2,000 guests. These guests include representatives of the international shipping industry, shipowners, shipbuilders, insurers and ship operators. This event will culminate in a year-long celebration worth celebrating. The Panama Canal project, which took 35 years to complete, is still the most historic position in the “Miracle of the Seven Modern World Projects.” Other “miracles” include the Tunnels of the British and French Straits and the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately, the original highlight of the centenary - that is, the opening of the expanded Panama Canal Gates - is not yet ready. The new floodgates, which will introduce the Panama Canal into the new era, are not expected until June 2015
