Nanjing is about to join the club of cities with a metro line on which trains run completely autonomously. Yes, that means no drivers in control of our city’s Metro Line 7 trains which have now commenced their test runs.
南京即将加入城市俱乐部，拥有一条列车完全自主运行的地铁线路。是的，这意味着我们市已经开始试运行的地铁7号线列车没有司机控制。
Nanjing Metro made the announcement that trial operations had begun last Friday, 12 August, saying that Line 7 had passed the acceptance of project works on 9 August, clearing the way for the running tests.
8月12日周五，南京地铁宣布开始试运营，并称7号线已于8月9日通过工程验收，为试运营做好了准备。
The northern section of Line 7 has its eastern terminus at Mufu Xi Lu near the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge on its southern side. It then proceeds in a largely northeasterly direction into Qixia District where it terminates at its intersection with what will be Line 8 at Xianxin Lu.
7号线北段东部终点站位于南侧南京长江大桥附近的幕府西路。然后沿大致东北方向行驶进入栖霞区，并在与 8 号线咸新路的交叉口处终止。
The new line shall bring this hitherto unserved part of our city into the rest of the Nanjing Metro network via intersections with Line 1 and 3, at Xiao Zhuang and Wutang Guang Chang, respectively.
新线路将通过分别在小庄和武塘广场与 1 号线和 3 号线交叉口将我市迄今为止尚未开通的部分纳入南京地铁网络的其余部分。
In the case of the former, Xiao Zhuang is in fact the first station north of Maigaoqiao on the northern extension to Line 1, which is also yet to be completed.
就前者而言，小庄实际上是一号线北延线迈高桥以北的第一个车站，该车站也尚未竣工。
There shall also be an additional intersection at Wanshou on Line 7, with the future Line 6, presently under construction.
7 号线万寿区还将与正在建设中的未来 6 号线增设一个交叉口。
All in, there are ten stations along Line 7, with the remainder being, from east to west, Mufu Shan, Dingjiazhuang, Dingjiazhuang South, Yaohua Xin Cun and Yaohua Men.
7号线沿线共有10个车站，从东到西依次为幕府山站、丁家庄站、丁家庄南站、耀华新村站、耀华门站。
Back to that automation, which for Line 7 is defined as being of “GoA4” level, the highest degree of autonomy for a train that exists. Thereby, trains are distinct by being capable of operating automatically at all times, while also being able to open and close doors, detect obstacles and react to emergencies.
回到自动化，7 号线的自动化被定义为“GoA4”级别，这是现有列车的最高自动化程度。因此，火车的独特之处在于能够始终自动运行，同时还能够开关门、检测障碍物并对紧急情况做出反应。
Automated trains also offer numerous advantages over their human-controlled counterparts, notably increased passenger capacity, less power consumption and more frequent service intervals.
与人工控制的列车相比，自动化列车还具有许多优势，特别是增加了载客量、减少了能耗以及更频繁的服务间隔。
Trial operations of a new line on the Nanjing Metro network typically take around 3 months, before fare-paying passengers may start their commute.
南京地铁网络新线路的试运营通常需要 3 个月左右的时间，然后付费乘客才能开始通勤。
But this is the first time our city has trialed a fully-automated line. So expect a delay. But all being well, and with a dose of good luck, we may be riding the driverless Nanjing Metro Line 7 sometime soon after new year.
但这是我市第一次尝试全自动生产线。所以预计会有延迟。但如果一切顺利，如果运气好的话，我们可能会在新年后不久的某个时候乘坐无人驾驶的南京地铁七号线。
