First listen and then answer the question.
Why was the first tunnel not completed?
1858年, 一位名叫埃梅·托梅·德·干蒙的法国工程师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海峡的隧道计划到了英国。 他说, 可以在隧道中央建造一座平台, 这座平台将用作码头和火车站。如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管, 隧道就具备了良好的通风条件。1860年, 一位名叫威廉·洛的英国人提出了一项更好的计划。他提议建一条双轨隧道, 这样就解决了通风问题。因为如果有一列火车开进隧道, 它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道。42年以后, 隧道实际已经开始建了。如果不是因为那时英国人害怕入侵, 隧道早已建成了。世界不得不再等将近100年才看到海峡隧道竣工。它于1994年3月7日正式开通, 将英国与欧洲大陆连到了一起。

1、In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel.
plan for +名词/动名词 ……的计划
twenty-one-mile 加连字符，用单数，作定语
2、This platform would serve as a port and a railway station.
serve as… =serve for… 起……作用，用作……，充当……
It will serve as a swimming pool.
This sofa can serve as/for (a) bed.
3、In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low.
put forward (plan/suggestion) 提出（计划、建议等）
You know they wouldn’t accept your plan. Why did you put it forward?
4、He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built.
suggest
① vt. 暗示，用法与其他的词相同
② vt. 建议，用虚拟语气，后接动词是要用-ing形式，后接that从句采用一种固定的用法“should+动词原形”（should 可省略）
I suggested (that) he (should) go home. (that, should 都可省略)
He suggested that I should go with him. 他建议我一定要跟他去.
insist作“坚持”讲时用法同suggest
He insisted that I should stay to lunch. 他坚持要我留下来吃晚饭.
5、This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it.
draw in 吸进，如用bring没有 draw in 形象、贴切
6、If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed.
虚拟语气(非真实条件句)中，与现在事实相反，从句用一般过去时；与过去事实相反，从句用过去完成时，此时主句格式为would have done，would/could/should 都可以
情态动词加have done 表示对过去的推测，如must have done，can t have done等
7、The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel.
wait for sb.
wait (for) some times
I have waited five minutes. (for 可不要)
I have waited for you (for) five minutes.
I have waited five years for you.
【Key structures】关键句型
第3类条件句
第3类条件句是在if从句里设想纯粹想像的事情，在主句里讲述想像的结果，谈的是没有或永远不可能有的结果，指的是过去没有过的事情。第3类条件句的基本结构是if从句用过去完成时，主句用would have/ should have +过去分词：
If it had rained, we would have stayed at home.
If I had worked harded at school, I’d have got a better job.
在if从句中可用could have +过去分词代替had been able to +动词原形：
I’d have read that book if I could have bought it.
特殊结构 : suggest/insist, 后接that从句(should+动词原形)
