非洲开通首列高铁，时速320公里（双语）

　　The new trains are made by manufacturer Alstom and can reach speeds of 200 miles per hour. They will cut the journey time between the two cities by more than half -- to just over two hours. This is double the speed of South 变态页游’s Gautrain, launched in 2012, which falls short of the criteria for high-speed rail.

　　The $2 billion project has been in development for a decade, funded by the governments of Morocco, France, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE.

　　新列车由制造商阿尔斯通制造，，时速可达200英里，将两个城市之间的旅行时间缩短一半以上，整个旅途只需两个多小时。这一速度是南非2012年推出的Gautrain列车的两倍，Gautrain列车并没有达到高铁的标准。

　　周四，法国总统埃马纽埃尔.马克龙和摩洛哥国王穆罕默德六世为非洲第一条高速铁路揭幕。

　　这条高速列车将沿着摩洛哥大西洋沿岸运营。

　　这个耗资20亿美元的项目已经开发了10年，由摩洛哥、法国、沙特阿拉伯、科威特和阿联酋政府资助。

　　国王穆罕默德六世和摩洛哥政府希望高铁能为国家带来财富和声望。但是反对者声称这是一个昂贵的愚蠢行为。

　　These high-speed trains are flashing along the Atlantic coast of Morocco.

　　King Mohammed VI and the Moroccan government expect the trains to deliver wealth and prestige for the country. But opponents claim they are an expensive folly.
