Made-in-China: you could see here and there in Rio Olympics
中国制造霸屏里约奥运
As is known to all, the opening ceremony of Rio Olympic Games is around the corner. However, the stadium for the canoeing and rowing hasn’t been completed yet. As everybody knows, Rio is very unreliable as the host for Olympics. Nevertheless, one Brazilian official replied, “The stadium is not finished yet but the rowing will start on Saturday and we hope it will be finished by then. These Olympic-branded banners, they are coming from China so getting them up is taking a long, long time.”
众所周知，里约奥运会开幕在即，然而皮划艇和赛艇馆尚未完工。作为奥运会主办发，大家都知道里约这不靠谱。可是巴西某官员竟然这样回应：场馆尚未完工，而赛艇比赛将于周六开始，我们希望在那之前能够完工。而带有奥运会标志的横幅正在从中国来的路上，而从中国运过来需要很长很长时间的！
It is because China has slowed down the progress of stadium construction! We feel sorry, we feel so sorry! Should they accuse China of ruining the Rio Olympic Games? Besides, what does it matter to do with the stadium construction on account of the banners which have been received. What do Brazil purchase from China, technology, building materials or capital? It is so foolish that they have made China as a scapegoat. Is it the bullying that China is far away from Brazil geographically?
原来是因为中国拖慢了你们建设场馆的进度啊！不好意思，太不好意思啦！要不要说是因为中国毁了里约奥运会呢！另外，只是横幅没到，跟场馆建设有什么关系呢？是不是巴西从中国买的是技术、是建材、是资金？让人背黑锅，也不带这样的？欺负中国本土离巴西太远是吧！
Then, let’s seize the opportunity and check out the charm and glamour of Made-in-China in Rio Olympic Games!
那么，我们借机看看这次中国制造在里约奥运会的魅力！
Not long ago, the Line 4 of Rio is officially launched and fully operational. As being called as Olympic Metro, the Line 4 connects Baja Olympic Park and urban area of Rio. What is worth mentioning, the running metro trains are all made in China and the manufacturer is China CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., Ltd. The Director of Ministry of Transportation said, “The metro trains which are made in China, whether the quality or the design, are both quite satisfied. In the future, Rio state government plans to purchase more trains from China.”
不久前，里约地铁4号线才正式揭幕，全线开通，这条地铁线连接起巴哈奥林匹克公园和里约热内卢市区，被称为“奥运地铁”。值得一提的是，这条“奥运地铁上”奔跑的列车，全都是中国制造，生产列车的是中国中车长春轨道客车股份有限公司。里约热内卢州交通厅厅长说，中国制造的列车无论是质量、还是设计，都让他们非常满意，里约州政府未来还计划采购更多的中国列车。
