我国首批为北京奥运会特别打造的4列“和谐号”内燃动车组旅游专线列车,日前完成线路试验,全部下线,将于奥运期间正式运行于北京至八达岭之间。通车后,全程运行只需约1小时20分钟,比原先节省近一半时间。

请看新华网的报道:

Four high-speed trains, the first of their kind made only for sightseeing during the Beijing Olympics, have rolled off production line recently. The Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) trains will only serve the rail line between urban Beijing and the Badaling section of the Great Wall.

首批为北京奥运会特别打造的4列高速观光列车于日前下线。这些内燃动车组列车将专门运行于北京城区和八达岭之间。

上述报道中,Diesel Multiple Unit是“内燃动车组”,简称DMU;Multiple Unit是“动车组”,Electric Multiple Unit是“电力动车组”,而“动车组列车”就是Multiple Unit train;那么“观光动车组”就可以翻译为Multiple Unit trains for sightseeing。
