中國地鐵走向國際,老外紛紛拍手叫好

The subway system in the US city of Boston will soon be equipped with train cars "Made in China," which will be shipped to the city in December.

美國波士頓的地鐵系統很快就會配備“中國製造”的列車，在12月就會送達該城市。

The current train cars in Boston have been running for decades and are too old to provide a modern trip experience.

目前，波士頓使用的列車已經好幾十年了。由於時間太長久了，並不能給乘客提供舒適的現代列車乘坐體驗。

Made in northeastern China's Jilin Province, the new cars can run at a speed of 102 kilometers per hour.

新的列車由中國東北部的吉林省製造，運行速度達102公里/時。

Although designed according to the US standard, the producing method of the cars is owned by a Chinese company named CRRC, the China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation.

列車雖按照美國標準設計，但是具體制造由中國公司——“中國鐵路機車車輛公司”負責。

The final products match the Boston subway's strict maximum weight requirement of 34 tons per car, which barred a lot of world-famous companies from getting the order form.

由於波士頓的地鐵要求比較嚴苛，每輛列車最大承重不超過34噸，因此，把很多欲承接此項目世界知名的列車製造公司拒之門外。

"The cars have to be solid, but light-weight at the same time," technology manager of the project Hong Haifeng told CCTV's Mandarin news channel. "And they have to be compatible with the century-old facilities in Boston."

該項目的技術經理洪海峯在接受中央電視臺中文新聞頻道是說，“列車要兼具堅固和身輕的特點。”而且還要考慮到與波士頓列車軌道和其他地鐵相關設備匹配性。

This is the first time for Chinese rail equipment to be used in the United States. The new cars are designed to run for 30 years.

這是中國首次將自己的鐵路設備在美國運行。新的列車計劃使用30年。

CRRC showcased the model car in Boston on April 3. CCTV reported that the model was praised by the local leaders and citizens, including the governor of Massachusetts Charlie Baker?.

今年4月3日，中國鐵路機車車輛公司在波士頓時運行。據央視報道，該列車得到了當地領導和市民的一致好評，其中還包括馬塞諸塞州的州長查理貝克。

"We're really looking forward to putting these in transit," he said, adding that the upgrades will bring the Boston subway into the modern era.

他說，“我們真心希望列車早點開始運行。”這樣能把波士頓的鐵路升級，享受更好的現代鐵路運輸服務。
