1990 年，英法海底隧道凿通，这条横贯英吉利海峡最窄处的隧道全长 50.5 公里，其中海底部分为 37 公里。它的建成使英伦三岛与欧洲大陆连为一体，结束了数百年来的英法隔绝状态。1994 年 5 月 6 日正式通车，这条隧道大大缩短了英法之间的交通时间，从多佛尔到加来的直线距离只有 35 公里，比绕过英吉利海峡的航行时间节省了数倍。英法海底隧道的开通，也被誉为欧洲交通史上的一个里程碑。
英文翻译：
The English Channel Tunnel was officially opened on May 6, 1994, after being built under the English Channel. The tunnel runs for a total length of 50.5 kilometers, with 37 kilometers underwater. Its completion connected the UK and Europe 大陆，ending the isolation between the three kingdoms for centuries. The tunnel greatly shortened the travel time between the UK and France, reducing the straight-line distance between Dover and Calais by 35 kilometers compared to the previous 绕过英吉利海峡的 navigation time, which saved several times of travel time. The opening of the English Channel Tunnel is also hailed as a milestone in European transportation history.
