Sample Sentences
没错。洋山深水港一期码头不过开港半年多,年吞吐量今年预计就将高达300万TEU,也将使得今年上海港的集装箱总吞吐量再创新高。可以说,上海港因为拥有了洋山,前进的步伐正迈得更快、更坚实有力。
Right. The first phase of the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor is only half a year old but this year's freight capacity is already projected to reach three million TEU. This will also set a record for Shanghai's shipping container volume this year. You could say that because of Yangshan, Shanghai's harbors will improve even faster, and even more powerfully.
