In the fertile waters of French Polynesia"s Tuamotu Archipelago, a school of blue-striped grunts beats a fast retreat as a pair of blacktip reef sharks lurk in the distance. Although the nutrient-poor soil of the French territory limits its terrestrial flora and fauna, the archipelago"s waters are among the world"s most scenic, species-rich spots.

The Panama Canal 巴拿马运河-2

A ship canal, about 82 km (51 mi) long, crossing the Isthmus of Panama in the Canal Zone and connecting the Caribbean Sea with the Pacific Ocean. It was begun by the French in 1881. The United States gained construction rights after Panama declared its independence in 1903, and the canal was opened to traffic on August 15, 1914.

De Lesseps dreamed of a canal cutting through Central America at its narrowest point- Panama, a canal slashing 8,000 miles of the journey from east to west and avoiding the perilous journey around South America.

"Our great nation of France will bring forth those men of cheese."

A canal allowing giant ships to sail straight from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

"This bold undertaking will bring credit and honor to the name of France."
"This is a man whose vision shapes the world really. If anyone can conquer Panama, De Lesseps can."

De Lesseps raised 16 million dollars to establish a canal company. In the tropics, history would be made.

De Lesseps" engineers sailed across the Atlantic, eager to win glory for France.
José D"Angela was head of operations in Panama. Philippe Bunau-Varilla, only 26 years old, would run the Pacific division.

Welcome.
Mr. D"Angela
My wife.
Madam.
I"m very glad to see you here.

The most expensive engineering enterprise in history had begun.

I"m in some ways daunted by the scale of the excavations. We will be creating a sea level part like at Suez. We want to, to cut right down to sea level and we will achieve this.

High .到—Can"t Stop—Maroon5—

中文译名魔力红乐队。来自LA的摇滚乐队，确切一些说是新灵魂摇滚。maroon 融合了红色的狂野魅力,神秘热情,奔放烈爱再掺入摇滚力道,灵魂旋律及放克节奏，这样的红流泻着新灵魂乐性感风情的放克摇滚这样的红，在流行歌坛注入了一股新的颜色。

乐队成立于1994年的洛杉矶，当时的成员还是五个高中生。也许是出于青春期的萌动和向往，最初乐队的名字叫做KARA Flower。但是高中时代的辉煌与光荣转瞬即逝，五个人毕竟要继续发展。后来他们在唱片公司REPRISE旗下推出过一张唱片“THE FOURTH WORLD”（《第四世界》），反应平平。可要知道，这四个字给他们带来了多大的压力，在美国，除了真正的大牌明星以外，绝大部分艺人的生活都很一般，为了自己的音乐理想，每天也要做着自己不喜欢的事情，也要为一袋面包而折腰。MAROON 5做过暖场嘉宾，酒吧驻唱，商业演出，巡回表演等等等等。五个年轻人徘徊在人生的十字路口，不知道自己何去何从。他们的创作精选集“SONGS ABOUT JANE”（《写给珍妮的情歌》）也在唱片店被静静的放置了一年多也无人问津。
