环球之旅:即将消失的世界旅游胜地

      With as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, Venice is slowly sinking at an estimated rate of 2.5 inches every 10 ten years. Venice, a city of beauty and charm, was built as a collection of 118 separate islands, relying entirely on a canal system of about 150 canals, mostly very narrow, crossed by some 400 bridges. A severe flood in December 2008 brought renewed attention to Venice's vulnerable state and imminent fate as an underwater city.

威尼斯，意大利

      每年三月和九月多达40次洪灾，威尼斯正在以每10年大约2.5英寸的速度慢慢下沉。威尼斯，一个美丽而富有魅力的城市，建在118个独立的岛屿群上，完全依靠大约150条大部分很窄的运河渠系以及河上的400余座桥梁运行。 2008年12月的一次严重洪灾再次让人们注意到威尼斯脆弱的状态和即将成为水下城市的命运。
