The lack of rain has lowered the level of the country's Gatun Lake, a major part of the Panama Canal.

缺少雨水使得该国加通湖的水位下降，该湖是巴拿马运河的一个主要部分。

At 32 meters high and over 800 meters wide, the Gatun Dam would be larger than any built before.

加通大坝高 32 米， 宽 800 多米，比以前建造的任何大坝都要大。

A prolonged drought in Central America attributed to El Nino weather phenomenon has reduced water levels on lake Gatun, which feeds the canal system of locks.

中美洲长期干旱归因于厄尔尼诺天气现象，导致加顿湖水位下降，这是水闸运河系统的水源。

The railway, now upgraded and rerouted to follow the canal, carted away over 76 million cubic meters of excavated rock to be used at the Gatun Dam site.

铁路现已升级并改道以沿运河行驶，运送了超过 7600 万立方米的开挖岩石，用于加通大坝工地。
