点评:Miraflores comprises three locks that form part of the Panamá Canal and is the name of the small lake that separates these locks from the Pedro Miguel Locks. Each of the three locks raises/lowers enormous ships 54 feet in two stages, allowing transit to and from the Pacific Ocean. Admission for adults is $17.22. There is an observation deck providing an impressive view of ships in the locks. It’s best to learn when a ship is scheduled to transition between locks. I arrived early and learned that the next transit would be at 3:00 that afternoon, too much of a wait.
The admission cost includes a 3D Cinemax video of the Canal’s construction and current operation. Quite an education. These current locks were constructed by Panamanians, not the old locks from more than a century before. Each lock accommodates a ship 900 feet long [almost the equivalent height of the Empire State Building] that carries 10,000 containers. It is truly a modern Wonder of the World.
翻译:米拉弗洛雷斯由三道船闸组成,构成巴拿马运河的一部分,是将这些船闸与佩德罗米格尔船闸分隔开的小湖的名字。三道船闸中的每一道均可分两个阶段将巨型船只升高/降低 54 英尺,从而允许船只往返太平洋。成人门票为 17.22 美元。有一个观景台,可以欣赏到船闸中船只的壮丽景色。最好了解船只计划何时在船闸之间转换。我早早就到了,得知下一次转换时间是当天下午 3:00,等待的时间太长了。
门票费用包括观看运河建设和当前运营的 3D Cinemax 视频。很有教育意义。这些当前的船闸是由巴拿马人建造的,而不是一个多世纪前的旧船闸。每个船闸可容纳一艘 900 英尺长的船 [几乎相当于帝国大厦的高度],可载运 10,000 个集装箱。它确实是现代世界奇迹。
