BUILDING A “GREEN” RAILWAY IN CHINA 在中国建设一条“绿色”铁路 The Qinghai-Tibet Railway (QTR) was built during China’s Tenth 5-Year Plan(2001–05) and, in China, is considered a landmark project (1). The QTR, completed in October 2005 and in trial operation since 1July 2006, is the world’s highest-elevation railway and the longest highland railway, extending over 1956 km from Xining . 这条青海与西藏之间的铁路在中国第十个“五年计划”中建设，就是在2001年的5月开始动工，并且，它在中国被看作为是一标志性项目它在 2005年的10月完工并且从2006年的7月1日开始进入试验运作，是世界上海拔最高，高原上最长的铁路，延伸超过1956千米。 青藏铁路沿途车站 唐古拉 唐古拉无人车站 An Environment-Friendly Railway The railway project has raised serious concerns about its possible environmental consequences because the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, covering more than 360,000 km, is a unique and fragile high-altitude ecosystem . The mean annual temperature of the plateau ranges between – 4°C and 6°C, and the aver-age altitude is 4000 m. The railway planners developed a “green policy” that emphasized protection of soils, vegetation, animals, and water resources . 这项铁路规划已经引起了对它可能造成的环境后果的严重担心，因为青海与西藏之间的高原覆盖了超过36万千米，是一个独特的而且易损坏的高海拔生态系统。 高原的年平均气温介于 - 4 ℃到6℃之间，平均海拔高度为4000米，因此，中国政府和地方官员在青藏铁路施工准备过程中为解决环境问题煞费苦心。铁路规划者规划出一种“绿色政策”，强调土壤、植被、动物、以及水资源的保护。 First soil Locations where earth was removed and construction sites were placed were carefully selected. Vegetation was then removed from these sites and was restored after the work was complete. Where possible, the railway path was directed around sensitive natural zones, and construction work was confined to the smallest possible area surrounding the railway. Planners detoured around wetlands and lakes wherever possible, and when this was not possible, they built bridges rather than surface routes to minimize the impact. 土壤 哪里的土壤易移动以及建筑工地的选址需要仔细选择。植被先从这些地方移开，等工作完成之后再恢复回去。有可能的话，铁路线直接从敏感自然区域周围通过，建筑工作被限制在线路周围尽可能小的区域。设计者尽可能使线路绕开湿地和湖泊，当实在不行的时候，他们宁愿架设桥梁而不在他们表面修路以使影响最小化。 second animals In addition, planners established five nature
