苏伊士运河，为什么绕不过它？

The Suez Canal cuts through Egypt. 苏伊士运河穿过埃及。 It joins the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. 它把地中海和红海连了起来。 Before it, ships had to sail around Africa. 修它之前，船得绕整个非洲。 That trip was long and slow. 那一趟又远又慢。 Now ships save thousands of kilometers. 现在船能省下上万公里路。 That is why everyone uses this canal. 所以谁都绕不开这条运河。
