China to bring Elon Musk's dream of
Hyperloop
into reality by 2035
中国计划在2035让埃隆·马斯克的超级高铁梦想成为现实
Hyperloop
:
a high-speed transportation system that utilizes magnetic levitation technology in vacuum tubes to achieve ultra-fast train travel. This technology can increase train speeds up to 760 miles (1,220 kilometers) per hour, significantly reducing travel time. Hyperloop是一种高速交通系统，它利用真空管道中的磁悬浮技术来实现超高速的列车运行。这种技术能够将列车速度提高到每小时760英里（1,220公里），大大缩短旅行时间。
Humanity has always been obsessed with faster transport options and the
magnetic levitation
trains are operational in many parts of the world. In 2012, Musk took the concept a step further by operating them in
vacuum
tunnels that could increase train speeds to 760 miles (1,220 km) an hour and
dubbed
it Hyperloop.
人类一直痴迷于更快的交通方式，磁悬浮列车已在世界各地投入使用。2012年，马斯克将高铁概念推进到在真空隧道中运行，可以将列车速度提高到每小时760英里（1220公里），并称其为Hyperloop。
magnetic levitation /mæɡˈnɛtɪk ˌlɛvɪˈteɪʃən/
磁悬浮；指一种利用磁力使列车悬浮于轨道上的技术，常用于高速列车系统
👉
A technology that uses magnetic force to suspend an object, such as a train, above a surface without any physical contact.
⭐
The high-speed train in Shanghai utilizes magnetic levitation technology.（
上海的高速列车使用了磁悬浮技术。
）
vacuum /ˈvækjum/
真空；指空气或其他气体不存在的空间，通常由于气体被抽出或被排放在容器外。
👉
An empty space that has no air or other gas molecules, created by removing air or other gas molecules from a container.
⭐
The Hyperloop operates in a vacuum to reduce air resistance.（
Hyperloop在真空中运行以减少空气阻力。
）
dub /dʌb/

）
Although Musk and his companies never really
ventured into
building such a system, they did organize a competition where others could test their
prototypes
for such a rapid transit system. The annual competition is no longer held, but the Chinese Academy of Engineering authorities are now keen to make it a reality.
尽管马斯克和他的公司从未真正尝试建造这样的系统，但他们组织了一项竞赛，让其他人测试他们的快速交通系统原型。虽然这项年度竞赛已不再举行，但中国工程院的工程师们正热衷于将其变为现实。
venture into /ˈvɛn.tʃər ˈɪn.tu/
