High Speed Railway (HSR) trains are joining the battle to deliver goods for the Singles’ Day (Nov. 11) shopping spree, in Beijing from Friday.

　　从上周五开始，北京高铁已经加入了双十一购物节之后的送货大战中。

　　According to Beijing Railway Bureau (BRB), four daily trains will be running at 160 km per hour to carry goods from Beijing to Shanghai and Guangdong in the next 10 days, shortening each trip to 15 hours, including loading and unloading time.

　　据北京铁路局表示，未来10天将每天派出4列车，以每小时160公里的速度将货物从北京运到上海和广东，将每趟列车包括上下货的时间缩短到15个小时。

　　"Each train has 15 compartments, and can carry 340 tonnes of goods," said Zhang Jinchao, deputy director at the BRB logistics center. "A total of 1,837 tonnes of goods have been transported today, with one of the trains carrying goods sold on JD.com and delivered by SF express," Zhang said Friday.

　　阿里巴巴CEO张勇表示说：“我们卖出去的商品越来越多，送快递的速度也越来越快。五年前在双十一期间送快递是一件令人头疼的事情，但是现在买家们可以在2、3天内就收到他们买的东西。”
