George Stephenson, a British engineer, is known as “the father of railways.” He built the world’s first passenger (乘客) train. The train used steam (蒸汽) to move and could go 24 kilometers an hour. It first ran on September 27, 1825. People consider this day the beginning of railway transportation. Trains Through Time 63 Culture Understanding In 1964, Japan built the first high-speed railway in the world. The trains used electricity (电) and could travel at 210 kilometers an hour. This was over eight times faster than Stephenson’s train! Today, China leads the world in high-speed railways. It has the longest network and the fastest trains. High-speed railways can reach most parts of the country, from the high mountains in the west to the busy cities in the east, and from the snowy (积雪的) lands in the north to the warm seaside in the south. 64 参考译文 穿越时光的列车 火车改变了人们的出行方式，为我们的生活带来了极大的便利。 英国工程师乔治·斯蒂芬森被誉为“铁路之父”。他制造了世界上第一辆客运火车。这辆火车使用蒸汽驱动，每小时可以走24千米。它于1825年9月27日首次运行。人们将这一天视为铁路运输的开端。 1964年，日本建成了世界上第一条高速铁路。这些列车采用电力驱动，每小时可以行驶210千米。这比斯蒂芬森的火车快了八倍以上！ 如今，中国在高速铁路领域领先全球。中国拥有最长的高铁网络和最快的列车。高速铁路可以通达全国大部分地区——从西部的高山到东部的繁华都市，从北方的雪域到南方的温暖海滨。 Culture Understanding 65 Culture Understanding Have you taken a high-speed train?
