各位旅客，前方就是正在建造中的洋山深水港工程。洋山深水港地处上海东南约27.5公里处的大小洋山，是离国际主要航线最近的地方，也是为迎接2010年上海世博会而建造的重要工程。洋山深水港一期工程开港已经半年多了，相信日后将成为一个举世瞩目的世界一流码头。不过目前我们还不能实地参观......

Attention, passengers! Up ahead is the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor Project, currently under construction. The Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor is situated on Daxiaoyang Mountain, 27.5 kilometers to Shanghai's southeast. It's the closest place to major international air routes. It is a major project being built for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. The first phase of construction on the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor has been going on for more than half a year already. There is no doubt that it will become a world-class harbor. But we can't visit it in person right now...
不好意思，导游小姐，我能先打断一下吗？我知道洋山深水港开港后一直受到国内外的热切关注，可是为什么政府要花这么大的力气来建造这个工程呢？你能具体介绍一下吗？

I'm sorry, Miss, can I interrupt for a bit? I know that the Yangshan Deep-Water Harbor has always been the focus of a lot of international and domestic attention. But why is the government investing so much energy in this project? Can you give us some details?
好的。据我所知，上海作为一个国际大都市，城市建设的目标是成为一个国际经济、金融、贸易和航运中心。洋山深水港正是建设航运中心的关键要素。它的建成将有力地推动我们城市的全面发展，带动社会的方方面面，当然也包括普通市民的日常生活。

Sure. As far as I know, for Shanghai to be a world-class metropolis, the construction goal of the city is to become an international economic, financial, trade and shipping center. The Yangshan Deep Water Harbor is a key element in creating a shipping center. Its construction will help stimulate the development of our entire city. It will help advance all aspects of society. Of course, this includes ordinary people's daily lives.
那为什么港址要选在洋山呢？

Then, why was Yangshan selected as the site for the harbor?
