高速铁路 high-speed rail
china will become a high-speed rail leader in the world after several years of rapid development, ignacio barron, the director of high speed of international union of railways (uic) said on wednesday.
国际铁路联盟高速铁路部(uic)总监伊格纳西奥?巴伦上周三称，中国有望在世界高速铁路建设方面处于领先者地位。
在上面的报道中，high-speed rail就是指“高速铁路”，也就是“高铁”。根据uic的定义，high-speed rail是指运营时速在200公里以上的passenger rail lines(客运专线)。到2012年，中国将建成“四纵四横” high-speed rail network(高速铁路专线网)，这是缓解我国铁路运力紧张的most effective and environmentally-friendly solution(最有效，最环保的解决方案)。
high-speed rail network建成后，ticket scalper(票贩子)有可能就成为了历史名词。除passenger rail lines外，有些国家的high-speed rail还提供freight service(货运服务)，例如postal freight(邮政运输)。除铁路外，各国还大力发展其它运输系统来解决交通问题，例如美国的全国高速公路网：interstate highway system(州际公路系统)。
关于铁路方面的英语文章篇2
cities used to think modern art could save them.now it's railway stations
城市的救命稻草由过去的现代艺术转为地铁车站
in january commuters voted birmingham newstreet one of britain's worst railway stations. each day nearly 150,000 people move through astructure built for half as many. but by next year it will be transformed, with 400 tonnes ofundulating steel cladding and a vaguely eyeball appearance. the station will have “the wowfactor”, boasts sir albert bore, the leader of birmingham city council. it will also show howmuch attitudes to railway stations have changed.
今年1月，英国上班族的投票结果显示伯明翰新街火车站是全英最差的火车站。每天都有15万人都要去挤这个容量只有人流量一半的车站上下班。但明年，情况将有所改善—车站将使用400顿的包钢材料，带给人们一种模糊的视觉体验。伯明翰市长albert bore夸耀说，这个车站将会使走过路过的人情不自禁的叫出声来，使乘客对火车站的态度实现360度大转弯。
railway stations are the chief exception to the rule that britain invests too little ininfrastructure. of the 17 big termini managed by network rail, the owner of britain's tracks, 11are being redeveloped or have recently been completed. five other stations, including readingand northampton, are being spruced up by local councils and network rail.
英国向来对基础设施的投资就少，但火车站则是一个例外。英国铁道所有者铁路网管理的17个火车站中，有11个使乘客对火车站的态度实现360度大转弯，还有5个(包括雷丁火车站和北安普顿火车站)由当地政府和铁路局负责翻新修理。
