A Chinese firm will start researching and developing a magnetic levitation (maglev) train that can run 600 km per hour, which would be faster than any other maglev train currently in operation.

　　中国一家公司将开始研究开发新型磁悬浮列车，时速每小时600公里，速度比目前在运行的其他磁悬浮列车更快。

　　CRRC Corp. Ltd., China’s largest rail transportation equipment maker, said it will build a maglev rail line no less than 5 km long to test the train.

　　中国最大的轨道交通装备制造商快科技中车公司声称，将建设一条长度不小于5公里的高速磁浮铁路线并进行下一步的列车试验。

　　The company will also develop maglev trains that travel at 200 km/h, with the goal of establishing domestic technology and standard systems for new-generation medium- and high-speed maglev transportation that can be applied globally, said Sun Bangcheng, a CRRC official.

　　中国中车官方代表人孙邦成(音译)说，公司还将研发每小时200公里运行速度的磁悬浮列车，试图建立一套能应用于全球新一代国内中、高速磁浮交通技术标准体系。

　　In addition, the firm will kick off research and development of cross-border high-speed trains that can run 400 km per hour and alternate between different track gauges ranging from 60 cm to 1.676 meters.

　　此外，该公司将开启研究和发展跨国高速列车，时速将达每小时400公里，能够在60厘米到1.676米的不同轨距的铁路上运营。

　　Such trains will consume 10 percent less energy than the country’s 350 km/h bullet trains currently in use, said Sun.

　　孙说，此类车将比中国现有的时速350公里高速列车降低10%左右的能耗。

　　China has seen rapid development of its high-speed railways in recent years, with their total length exceeding 20,000 km, the world’s longest high-speed rail network.The country started operation of its first home-grown maglev rail line in May, with trains running at a maximum speed of 100 km per hour.

　　近年来，中国的高速铁路发展迅速，其总长度超过20000公里，构成了世界上最长的高速铁路网。我国将在5月份开始运行第一个土生土长的磁悬浮铁路线，列车运行最高时速为每小时100公里。
