两千年前,中国人发明了指南针、火药、造纸和印刷术,被称之为中国四大发明,极大地促进了世界文明的发展。改革开放使中国发生了巨大变化。现在很多外国朋友来中国,发现中国又有了新的四大发明:高铁、手机支付、共享单车和网购。
   中国高铁的发展领先世界。在仅仅十来年的时间里,中国建成了横跨全国的高铁网,长度超过2.2万公里,占全世界高铁线路的65%以上。从首都北京到中国最大城市上海的高铁长1300公里,时速达到350公里,而价格只有大约70欧元。高铁正在改变中国人的出行方式。
   在中国,无论在哪里,用手机支付都非常方便。出门,无论打车、用餐、购物,看电影,只要带一部手机就可付账。去年,4亿中国人使用手机支付,金额高达5.5万亿元。中国正在进入无现金社会,成为世界上手机支付最先进的国家。
   过去几年,共享单车在中国出现了爆发性的发展,不论大小城市,共享单车处处可见。你可以随处租用,在任何地点归还。只要在手机上安装一个APP,就可以开锁用车,手机付费也非常方便。共享单车使人们重新选择自行车这一健康方式出行。
   网上购物改变了中国人的购物方式。今天,五亿中国人在网上购物,年交易金额高达27万亿元,占全球电子商务交易额的40%。网上购物通常当天或第二天就能收到订购的商品。网购的出现极大地刺激了消费,已成为中国经济增长的主要推手之一。中国为什么会出现新四大发明?答案是创新的结果。中国政府鼓励企业创新,并给予多方面的支持。再过几年,当你们再次访问中国,相信你们将会看到中国更多的新发明。

选项

答案 Two thousand years ago, the Chinese invented the compass, gunpowder, paper making and printing. Known as the four great Chinese inventions, they greatly boosted the development of world civilizations. Reform and opening-up have brought about huge changes in China. Many foreign friends, who have visited China have discovered four new great inventions in China, which are highspeed railway, mobile phone payment, bike sharing and online shopping. China is leading the world in the building of high-speed railways. In just about ten years, China has built a high-speed railway network across the country. It has a total length of 22,000 kilometers, accounting for more than 65 percent of the high-speed railways in the whole world. The highspeed railway from the capital city of Beijing to Shanghai, China’s largest city, is 1,300 kilometers long, with the speed of the train reaching 350 kilometers per hour. But the fare is only about 70 euro. It is changing how people travel in China. No matter where you go in China, it is very convenient for you to pay with your mobile phone. When you go out, whether you call a taxi, have a meal, do shopping or go to the cinema, you can pay with just a mobile phone. Last year, 400 million Chinese made payments with mobile phones, with a total amount reaching 5.5 trillion yuan. China is entering a cash-free society and is becoming the most advanced country in the world in terms of mobile phone payment. Bike sharing has seen explosive growth in China in the past few years. Shared bikes can be seen everywhere, whether in big or small cities. You can rent one anytime, and return it anywhere you like. All you need to do is download an APP on your mobile phone and you can unlock a shared bike and use it. It is also very convenient to use your mobile phone to pay for using it. As a result, more and more people are using bicycles again, which is a healthy way of getting around. Online shopping has changed the way people do shopping in China. Today, half a billion Chinese do shopping online, with the total annual trading volume reaching 27 trillion yuan, accounting for 40 percent of global electronic trading. When you shop online, your order will usually be delivered to you the same day or the next day. The emergence of online shopping has greatly spurred consumption, and it has become the main drive powering the growth of the Chinese economy. What has made it possible for these four new inventions to emerge in China? The answer is innovation. The Chinese government encourages innovation and supports companies to engage in innovation in many ways. When you visit China in a few years, I’m sure you will see more inventions made in our country.
