This year's Nov. 11 online shopping festival is drawing near.
今年的雙十一網購節就要來了。
According to predictions made by the China Express Association and China's smart logistics network CAINIAO, over 1 billion express deliveries will be made in the course of this year's online shopping spree.
據中國快遞協會和中國智能物流網絡CAINIAO（菜鳥）預估，今年雙十一期間快遞數量將超過10億件。
Such a huge volume of packages will pose a great challenge to China's domestic logistics system.
如此大量的包裹將會給中國國內的物流系統帶來巨大的挑戰。
The shopping festival has been held annually for the last seven years. On Nov. 11, 2015, 91.2 billion RMB in transactions and 467 million individual orders were placed on Tmall and Taobao alone.
該購物節已經連續舉辦七年了。2015年11月11日，僅天貓和淘寶上的成交金額就達到了912億元人民幣，訂單數量達到了4.67億單。
According to data released at the 11/11 Online Shopping Festival Service Mobilization Meeting, held by CAINIAO and other express enterprises on Oct. 13, a total of 2.68 million people will be employed by logistics companies for this year's festival, a growth of over 50 percent from last year.
10月13日，菜鳥和其他幾家快遞公司主持召開了“雙十一網購節服務動員大會”，據會上公佈的數據顯示，今年雙十一期間快遞公司將僱傭268萬人，同比去年增長50%。
Meanwhile, road transportation and even air capacity are expected to grow by 59 percent and 40 percent respectively.
與此同時，公路運輸和空運數量預計將分別增長59%和40%。
Wang Wenbin, chief technology officer of CAINIAO, explained that with the support of advanced data technologies and capital injection, China's logistics industry has been through a comprehensive update in data, service and capacity. This year, consumers will therefore have a better service experience.
據菜鳥網絡首席技術官王文斌解釋稱，在先進數據技術和資本注入的支持之下，中國的物流業已經經歷了一場全面的數據、服務和運量更新。因此，今年消費者們將會有一個更好的服務體驗。
For major express enterprises, pieces of infrastructure such as warehouses, equipment and data systems have gone through rapid development since last year's Nov. 11 holiday. However, pressure on the distribution end will remain.
對於幾家大型快遞公司來說，自從去年的雙十一以來，諸如倉庫、設備以及數據系統等配套基礎設施已經經歷了快速的發展。但是在快遞配送方面壓力仍然存在。
Statistics show that a lack of couriers is a common issue for logistics enterprises, but Wang mentioned that courier stations and self pick-up lockers will help ease the pressure this year.
據統計數據顯示，缺少快遞員是目前物流公司普遍面臨的一個問題，但是王文斌表示，今年快遞驛站和自提貨櫃將有助於緩解這一壓力。
