Expect Boston lobster, New York cheesecake, maybe even genuine Big Apple burgers, to be appearing on the menus of Nanjing’s upscale restaurants in the coming weeks, as facilitated by an American cargo flight operator and its new flight to and from the USA.

预计在一家美国货运航班运营商及其往返美国的新航班的推动下,未来几周内,波士顿龙虾、纽约芝士蛋糕,甚至可能是正宗的纽约汉堡将出现在南京高档餐厅的菜单上。

It was in the very early hours of yesterday, 11 July, that the Sky Lease Cargo Boeing 747 departed Nanjing Lukou International Airport en route to New York.

昨天(7月11日)凌晨,天租货运波音747飞机从南京禄口国际机场起飞,飞往纽约。

Flight GG4864, with 99 tonnes of cargo on board, out of a 128.5-tonne maximum capacity for the B747-400 freighter, marked the official opening of the international all-cargo route between Nanjing and New York.

GG4864航班载有99吨货物,而B747-400货机最大运力为128.5吨,标志着南京至纽约的国际全货运航线正式开通。

Except that a Jumbo Jet cannot fly non stop between the two cities; it’s simply too far. A stopover in Anchorage gave the jet the chance to spend 2 hours on Alaskan tarmac to refuel, as well as to pick up and drop off more cargo.

但大型喷气式飞机不能在两个城市之间直飞;实在是太远了。在安克雷奇中途停留后,这架飞机有机会在阿拉斯加的停机坪上停留 2 小时来加油,并接送更多货物。

After it got back in the air, the flight then landed in John F. Kennedy International Airport at 12:06 local New York time, just in time for lunch.

航班返回空中后,于纽约当地时间12点06分降落在约翰·肯尼迪国际机场,正好赶上午餐时间。

But Boston lobster was not on that particular menu. That is what will be coming in the other direction, for us here in Nanjing to savour. Joining that on board shall be other aquatic produce, reports the Yangtze Evening News.

但波士顿龙虾并不在那个特定的菜单上。这就是我们在南京所要品味的另一个方向。据《扬子晚报》报道,船上还将有其他水产品。

Going into JFK, the flight from Nanjing brought various items of that termed “cross-border e-commerce cargo”; that we can take to mean some of the stuff made in China that Americans have been snapping up online recently.

进入肯尼迪机场,从南京起飞的航班携带了各种被称为“跨境电商货物”的物品;我们可以理解为美国人最近在网上抢购的一些中国制造的东西。

The cargo service, that is planned to fly three times each week, is a welcome addition to air transportation between the Yangtze River Delta and the Americas.

该货运航线计划每周执飞3班,为长三角与美洲之间的航空运输增添新的亮点。

Sky Lease Cargo is an American air-freighter lease company based in Miami, Florida, USA. The firm at present operates a fleet of just two aircraft, both of them Boeing 747s. 

Sky Lease Cargo 是一家美国航空货运租赁公司,总部位于美国佛罗里达州迈阿密。该公司目前运营的机队仅有两架飞机,均为波音 747。
