I don't know if you are aware that one of the earliest Western maps of this area was produced by French mariners in the eighteenth century, using Chek Lap Kok, the site of our brand new airport, as the principal datum point.
不知道大家有没有留意到,西方朋友最早期替我们这个地方绘制的地图,其中一张便是十八世纪法国航海人员所绘制的。 当时,他们用的主要基点正是我们新机场所座落的赤濸角。
