This year’s summer-holiday travels are off to a great start, with two new additions to the high-speed train family from tomorrow. Sleeker than ever, they’re packed with high-tech features intended to make our train time safer and more comfortable, with even more convenience.
今年的暑假旅行有了一个良好的开端,从明天起,高铁家族将新增两列新成员。它们比以往任何时候都更时尚,配备了高科技功能,旨在让我们的火车时间更安全、更舒适、更方便。
If you’re taking a train from Nanjing South Railway Station tomorrow, 25 June, to either Beijing or Shanghai, you may be in for a very pleasant surprise. If so, it should be pretty obvious even before you get on; the exterior of the train has been given a new swirling, red and orange design, inspired by a Chinese dragon.
如果您明天(6 月 25 日)从南京南站乘坐火车前往北京或上海,您可能会收到非常惊喜的惊喜。如果是这样,那么在你上车之前就应该很明显了;火车的外观采用了新的旋涡状、红色和橙色设计,灵感来自中国龙。
On board, a whole new experience awaits. Beginning up at the front of the train, or the rear, there is a new fishbone layout for seats in business class, reminiscent of many airlines. The new seats, which offered unparalleled privacy, can each be rotated for people travelling together who wish to actually see each other.
在船上,全新的体验等待着您。从火车的前部或后部开始,商务舱座椅采用了新的鱼骨形布局,让人想起许多航空公司。新的座位提供了无与伦比的隐私,每个座位都可以轮换,以便一起旅行的人希望真正见到对方。
One-touch buttons now operate the business-class seat to its three positions of upright, reclined or flatbed. A wireless near-field charging point is housed in the new seat-side table, while a foot locker is provided at floor level for shoes. And each business-class passenger now has their own touch-screen video display too.
现在,一键式按钮可将商务舱座椅控制为直立、倾斜或平躺三种位置。新的座椅边桌上设有无线近场充电点,而地板上则设有存放鞋子的脚储物柜。现在,每位商务舱乘客也拥有自己的触摸屏视频显示器。
In first class, each seat is more comfortable and equipped with electrically adjustable leg supports. Two USB ports are also joined by two sockets offering mains power.
在头等舱,每个座位都更加舒适,并配备电动调节腿部支撑。两个 USB 端口还连接有两个提供主电源的插座。
For everyone else, every seat in second class now has a USB charging point in the back of the seat in front, while stability for the drinks holder has been improved by deepening the groove depth. And if you are in the front row facing the bulkhead, the tables now slide out from the wall in front of you. Nice touch.
对于其他人来说,二等舱的每个座位现在在前排座椅后面都有一个 USB 充电点,同时通过加深凹槽深度提高了饮料架的稳定性。如果您坐在面向舱壁的前排,桌子现在会从您面前的墙壁滑出。手感很好。
Throughout the train, LCD screens replacing the now-distinctly aged LED displays for route and train information are joined by 29-inch overhead displays for those endless videos of high-speed trains gliding through China’s impressive landscapes and engineering marvels.
在整个列车上,液晶屏幕取代了现在明显老化的 LED 显示屏,用于显示路线和列车信息,同时还有 29 英寸的头顶显示屏,用于播放高速列车在中国令人印象深刻的风景和工程奇迹中滑行的无尽视频。
Then there are the new toilets with lighting which adjusts automatically whenever someone enters and then issue an audible warning not to attempt to smoke inside. Yep, it appears that’s still a problem.
还有带有照明的新厕所,每当有人进入时,照明就会自动调节,然后发出声音警告,不要试图在里面吸烟。是的,看来这仍然是一个问题。
For those who have recently spent a small fortune on a new phone, 5G coverage is provided throughout, although initially only on the long 17-carriage configuration of the new units.
对于那些最近花了一大笔钱购买新手机的人来说,5G 覆盖范围已全面覆盖,尽管最初仅在新设备的 17 节长配置上提供。
Larger spaces for baggage and wheelchairs (which get their own seatbelts) in many carriages are also joined in the dining car by a vending machine for self-service of snacks, fruit and drinks. No more long waits because “attendant is in the carriage”.
许多车厢都设有更大的行李空间和轮椅空间(有自己的安全带),餐车内还设有自助售货机,提供小吃、水果和饮料。不再需要长时间等待,因为“服务员在车厢里”。
Even if you’re not lucky enough to be getting on one of the new trains tomorrow, the features can be seen in a China Railway promotional video published by the Yangtze Evening News.
即使你没有幸运地登上明天的新列车,这些功能也可以在扬子晚报发布的中国铁路宣传视频中看到。
The new trains enter service tomorrow on many of China’s busier routes between 1st tier cities, including Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanjing and Shanghai.
新列车将于明天在北京、成都、重庆、南京和上海等中国一线城市之间的许多繁忙线路上投入服务。
