尼加拉瓜湖

从旅馆的防波堤可以看到康塞普西翁火山（Conceptión）全景，这座火山高1610米，非常活跃，俯视着尼加拉瓜湖。

这条计划长达278公里的运河连接加勒比海（CaribbeanSea）和太平洋（PacificOcean），从尼加拉瓜湖穿过，可能导致附近的雨林消失并威胁到附近的原住民部落。这条运河还会使得超大型油轮从奥梅特佩岛的伊甸园旁边经过。

The proposed 278km route , connecting theCaribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean , will carve through Lake Nicaragua , potentiallydisplacing the surrounding rainforest and threatening indigenous communities.The route will also bring the supertankers right past Ometepe 's Eden .

尼加拉瓜湖需要进行疏浚，才能开挖适宜大型货船通航的足够深的运河。

Lake Nicaragua will need to be dredged inorder to build a canal that 's deep enough for giant cargo ships .

修建计划里，运河将会夷平四个独立的自然公园，同时会穿过最大的淡水湖，尼加拉瓜湖。

Plans show the canal bulldozing through four separate nature parks , as well across the largest freshwater lake in the region , Lake Nicaragua .

然而尼加拉瓜湖的天然深度为14米（45英尺），只达到所需深度的一半，这意味着河床将被爆破，直到凿出一个长达100千米（65英里）的渠道使其能够通过。

Since the lake 's natural depth of 14 meters ( 45 ft ) is only half what 's needed , this will involve dynamiting the lakebed until a 100-kilometer ( 65 mi ) channel can be carved through it .

尼加拉瓜湖是中美洲最大的淡水水域，面积辽阔，以至于西班牙征服者将其误以为是大海。在我经过尼加拉瓜湖的那一天，奥梅特佩岛的火山上空乌云密布，我刚踏进码头，大雨便倾盆而下。

On the day that I crossed Lake Nicaragua - Central America 's largest body of freshwater , so vast that SpanishConquistadors believed it was open sea - Isla Ometepe 's volcanoes were engulfedin a heavy cloud clover that burst as soon as I stepped onto the port .

运河可能会穿过一个尼加拉瓜的淡水水源湖。

The canal is likely to cross a lake that is a source of fresh water for Nicaragua .
