威尼斯將被洪水淹沒！「摩西計畫」能否拯救古城命運？
The Dallying and Delays of Venice’s Flood Protection System

ISA SOARES, CNN ANCHOR
The water level in Venice is expected to reach 150 centimeters in the coming hours, which is considered exceptional. The city is suffering its worst flooding in more than half a century, and all the damage could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but Tuesday’s high tide may have never reached the lagoon city if a major engineering project had been ready on time. CNN’s Tom Sater explains why.

In 1966, Venice experienced its worst flood in history when water levels reached 194 centimeters, according to government statistics. Italy then invested billions of dollars in a system of floodgates that were supposed to protect Venice from the disastrous flooding the city is experiencing right now. It’s called MOSE—an Italian acronym for “Experimental Electromechanical Module.”

威尼斯的水位預期將在接下來的幾個小時內達到一百五十公分，這被認為極不尋常。這座城市遭逢了超過半世紀以來最嚴重的洪水，全部的損害恐怕要花費好幾億美元，不過，一項大型工程計畫要是如期到位的話，週二的高潮可能根本就不會波及這座潟湖城市。本台記者湯姆．薩特說明原因。

一九六六年，威尼斯遭逢這座城市歷史上最嚴重的洪水，根據政府的統計數據，當時水位達到一百九十四公分。義大利於是投注數十億美元開發一套防洪閘門系統，該系統理應要保護威尼斯免於目前所經歷的洪災。那套系統稱為「摩西計畫」——這是「實驗性電機模組」的義大利文縮寫。
