邁向國際! 中國製造的地鐵駛進美國波士頓!

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，這些列車將於12月送達該城市。

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

波士頓目前的列車已經運營了有好幾十年的時間了。由於太過老舊，所以不能提供一種現代的搭乘體驗。

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

這批新的列車是由中國東北部的吉林省製造，運行速度可達每小時102公里。

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.

列車雖是按照美國標準設計的，但是具體制造方法則是由一家名叫中國中車股份有限公司的中國公司負責的。

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.

由於波士頓的地鐵有每輛列車最大承重不超過34噸的嚴格要求，因此這一點把很多欲承接此項目的世界知名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向中央電視臺中文新聞頻道透露：“這些列車要兼具堅固和身輕的特點。而且還要與波士頓幾百年的相關設備相匹配。”

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.

這是中國鐵路設備首次在美國投入使用。這批新列車設計的運營時間爲30年。
