中国停产部分高速列车 China applies brakes to high-speed rail China has halted the production of some bullet trains, the first public action to show that Beijing has slowed its ambitious high-speed rail programme after a fatal collision last month. 中国已下令停产一部分高速列车，这是上月发生动车致命追尾事故后，首个显示北京方面放缓其雄心勃勃的高铁计划的公开行动。 The railway ministry ordered China North Locomotive and Rolling Stock CNR , one of the country’s two leading train manufacturers, to temporarily stop making a bullet train model because of recurrent delays on a new line between Shanghai and Beijing. 铁道部责令中国两大铁路车辆制造商之一中国北车 CNR 暂停制造一种型号的高速列车，原因是该型列车在新建的京沪高铁运行期间频频延误。 In a statement to the Shanghai stock exchange, the state-owned company said that an automatic safety system on its CRH380, the most advanced of China’s high-speed trains, had been working improperly, leading to delays. 这家国有公司在提交给上海证交所的一份公告中称，其CRH380 BL型动车组存在由于自动保护系统误报而导致列车延误的情况。CRH380是中国最先进的高速列车型号。 The high-speed line between Shanghai and Beijing was supposed to be the jewel in the crown of the country’s bullet train network, but it has been beset by stoppages since opening in June. 京沪高铁本应成为中国高铁网络皇冠上的明珠，但这条线路自6月投入运行以来不断受到故障停车困扰。 Passenger frustration at the unreliable service snowballed into a far deeper crisis of confidence for China’s railway planners when high-speed trains on a line near the eastern city of Wenzhou crashed into each other on July 23, killing 40 people. 7月23日，两列动车在华东城市温州附近的铁路上发生追尾碰撞，导致40人丧生。这起事故使乘客对高铁不可靠服务不断蓄攒的不满爆发，造成一场更加深层次的对中国铁路规划者的信心危机。 CNR did not mention that accident, which involved a slightly older model of bullet trains, in its statement about the manufacturing halt. 中国北车在有关停产的公告中并未提及那起事故；7月23日的追尾事故涉及型号较早的动车。 The company said that it would examine and adjust its bullet trains to ensure “efficiency and punctuality”, and added that it expected it would still be able to complete the full amount ordered for this year. 该公司表示，将尽快完成其高速列车的质量整改工作，以保障京沪高铁的“高效、准点运行”，并补充称，预期将仍然能够完成年度合同交付总量。 China’s bullet trains only went into operation in 200
