　　As the world faces up to climate change, short-haul flights look increasingly unattractive to many travelers. The flygskam (flight shame) phenomenon that started in Scandinavia is already inspiring many travelers to reduce their reliance on airlines.
　　随着世界面临气候变化，短途航班对许多旅行者来说越来越没有吸引力。始于斯堪的纳维亚半岛的flygskam(航班耻辱)现象，已经激励许多旅行者减少对航空公司的依赖。
　　Until someone proves otherwise, high-speed rail is the most effective alternative to air travel for journeys of up to 1,100 kilometers (700 miles). Shuttling passengers between city centers at speeds of 290 kph (180 mph) or more, it offers a compelling combination of speed and convenience.
　　除非有人能证明事实并非如此，否则在长达1100公里(700英里)的旅程中，高铁是取代航空旅行的最有效选择。它以290公里每小时(180英里每小时)或更高的速度在城市中心之间穿梭，提供了令人信服的速度和便利。
　　Since the 1980s, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in new high-speed, high-capacity railways across Europe and Asia, pioneered by Japan＂s Shinkansen and the Train a Grand Vitesse (TGV) in France.

　　在过去十年中，中国已成为无可争议的世界领导者，建设了3.8万公里的新铁路网，几乎覆盖了全国的每个角落。
　　Spain, Germany, Italy, Belgium and England are expanding the European network with other countries expected to follow by the 2030s.
　　西班牙、德国、意大利、比利时和英国正在扩大欧洲网络，预计到本世纪30年代，其他国家也将紧随其后。
　　In 2018, Africa gained its first high-speed railway with the opening of the Al-Boraq line in Morocco and Egypt looks set to join the club before the end of the 2020s.
　　2018年，随着摩洛哥Al-Boraq线的开通，非洲建了第一条高速铁路，埃及似乎将在本世纪20年代末之前加入。
　　Elsewhere in the world, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan have established high-speed routes and India, Thailand, Russia and the United States are among a growing group of nations committed to building new railways where trains will dash between major cities at speeds of more than 250 kph (155 mph).
　　在世界其他地方，韩国、沙特阿拉伯和台湾已经建立了高速铁路，印度、泰国、俄罗斯和美国等越来越多的国家致力于建设新的铁路，使列车在主要城市之间以超过250公里每小时(155英里每小时)的速度行驶。
