In Bengal, the Ganges, and several other great rivers, form a great number of navigable canals, in the same manner as the Nile does in Egypt.

在孟加拉，恒河和其他几条大河形成了大量可通航的运河，就像尼罗河在埃及的作用一样。

In China, and in several other governments of Asia, the executive power charges itself both with the reparation of the high-roads, and with the maintenance of the navigable canals.

在中国和亚洲其他几个国家的政府中，行政权力既负责修复公路，也负责维护通航运河。
