In terms of technology, China has developed its own high-speed rail standards and protocols. These technological advancements have allowed Chinese high-speed trains to reach exceptional speeds while ensuring passenger comfort and safety. 中国高铁的诞生可以追溯到21世纪初，当时中国启动了第一个高铁项目。 在技术方面，中国已经制定了自己的高铁标准和协议。这些技术进步使中国高速列车达到特殊的速度，同时确保乘客的舒适和安全。 China's high-speed rail achievements are not limited to technology alone. We have also constructed an extensive network of high-speed rail lines, connecting major cities and regions across the country. It provides fast and convenient travel options for both domestic and international travelers. 中国高铁的成就并不局限于技术。我们还建设了一个广泛的高速铁路线路网络，连接了全国各地的主要城市和地区。这彻底改变了中国的交通，为国内和国际旅客提供快速和方便的旅行选择。 China's high-speed rail technology has not only advanced domestically but has also gained recognition globally. Chinese high-speed rail technology has been exported to other countries. China's success in high-speed rail technology has positioned us as a global leader in the field. 中国的高铁技术不仅在国内先进，而且获得了全球认可。中国高铁技术已出口到其他国家。中国在高铁技术方面的成功使中国成为该领域的全球领导者。 The Invention of the Train With the invention of the train, people could travel long distances at a higher speed more easily. The following people are remembered for their contributions to this great breakthrough (突破): James Watt — improving steam engines James Watt was a British engineer. He improved the steam engine and made it an effective source (来源) of power in 1776. The Invention of the Train Richard Trevithick — inventing steam locomotives (火车头) Richard Trevithick was a British engineer. Working on Watt’s steam engines, he managed to build one of the first steam locomotives in 1804. George Stephenson — building steam locomotives for railways The British inventor George Stephenson produced the world’s first commercial (商用的) passenger steam locomotive in 1825 and was later called “The Father of Railways”. Through his efforts, trains gradually became a major means of transportation, with railways spread all over the world.
