People living on part of the south coast of England face a serious problem.In 1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered,to their horror,that their gardens had disappeared overnight.The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built.While experts were studying the problem.the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion(侵蚀)of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years.Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland.Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people,forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes.Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases ,this is impossible .New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast ,shifting the problem from one area to another.The danger is likely to continue ,they say ,until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is .Meanwhile,if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future,apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England.You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.
住在英格兰岛南岸的人面临严峻的问题,1993年一个大旅馆和几座房子的主人发现他们的花园一夜间消失了,令他们毛骨悚然,大海吞噬了松软的石灰岩壁,而他们的房子就建在上面,正当专家们对这个问题进行考察时,旅馆和那几座房子都滑下岩壁掉入大海,沿英格兰岛南岸的白色岩壁受到侵蚀一直是个难题,但近年来日益严重,随着海水沿岛爬的越来越高,数十个家庭不得不放弃家园,专家们对受影响最严重的地区进行了考察,为当地居民绘制一份地图,预报当年那些家园会被(饥饿的)大海吞没,愤怒的主人们呼吁政府建防海水工程以保护他们的家园,政府调查人员指出;这项过程耗资数亿英镑,根本行不通,而且只能使海流沿着海岸走的更远,把问题从一个地方转到另一个地方,危险似乎还在继续,他们说;等海水进入到硬岩石的内陆被吞没的就不只是石灰石了,同时;如果你想买前途不确定的便宜房屋,就去找英格兰岛南岸受威胁地区的房屋中介,你可以花很低的价钱买一套房子,但它可能是一套倒霉的房子.
