1. 19TH ASIAN GAMES CLOSE AS 'UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS'

杭州亚运会圆满闭幕

The 19th Asian Games ended yesterday in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The closing ceremony was themed "Enduring Memories of Hangzhou" and was used to highlight how sports have the power to unite people. Zhang Yue has the story.

昨天，第19届亚运会在浙江杭州落下帷幕。闭幕式主题是“最忆是杭州”，彰显了体育凝聚人心的力量。记者张乐带来报道。

Premier Li Qiang attended the closing ceremony at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium.

国务院总理李强出席了在杭州奥体中心体育场举行的闭幕式。

Over 16 days, around 12,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions shared unforgettable moments in Hangzhou. One could argue that the Asian Games be renamed the "China Games" after the host nation dominated the podium【讲台】once again. In the end, Chinaclinched【搂抱】201 golds, 111 silvers and 71 bronzes, finishing atop the medal tally for the 11th straight time since 1982.

在这16天里，来自45个国家和地区的约12000名运动员在杭州共度了难忘的时刻。有人说，在东道主再次称霸领奖台之后，亚运会更名为“中国运动会”。最终，中国将201 枚金牌、111枚银牌和71枚铜牌收入囊中，自1982年以来连续第11次蝉联亚运会奖牌榜榜首。

Gao Zhidan高志丹, organizing committee president of the games, also president of the Chinese Olympic Committee, and Raja Randhir Singh, Olympic Council of Asia acting president spoke at the ceremony. Singh declared the games closed, and extended an invitation to the 20th Asian Games in 2026 in Nagoya, Japan.

亚运会组委会主席、中国奥委会主席高志丹和亚奥理事会代理主席拉贾·兰迪尔·辛格在闭幕式上发言。辛格宣布运动会闭幕，并向2026年在日本名古屋举行的第20届亚运会发出邀请。

Just like in the opening ceremony, a digital torchbearer was used for the closing ceremony. Following the extinguishing of the cauldron, the digital torchbearer stepped out and transformed into starlight that filled the night sky, passing on the flame【火焰】of sports and the spirit of the Asian Games.

与开幕式一样，闭幕式也使用了数字火炬手。随着大火炉的熄灭，数字火炬手走出火炉，化作星光洒满夜空，将体育之火和亚运精神传递下去。

Earlier yesterday, athletes took one last chance to experience Hangzhou. They took in some of its culture and beautiful scenery before purchasing souvenirs. One Kyrgyz athlete bought silk products for his loved ones. Hangzhou has long been known as a prominent trading hub along the ancient Silk Road.

昨日早时，运动员们用最后一次机会体验了杭州。在购买纪念品之前，他们领略了杭州的文化和美景。一位吉尔吉斯斯坦运动员为他的亲人购买了丝绸制品。杭州一直是古丝绸之路上著名的贸易中心。

“我给妈妈买了一个包，我们连上了 Wifi，我问姐姐们是否还想要包，我给她们发了一些她们选中的包的照片，然后给她们买了更多的。”

Aside from shopping, some athletes couldn't resist visiting museums and learning more about Chinese culture.

“这次参观很愉快、很有趣、很有历史意义，而且景色不错、天气不错、城市不错、人也不错。”

Although Hangzhou was the main site for the Asian Games, five other cities in Zhejiang hosted some of the sporting events.

虽然杭州是亚运会的主会场，不过浙江的其他五个城市也举办了部分体育赛事。

“Since the first train departed Shanghai for Hamburg, Germany on September 28th, 2021, the Shanghai Express has operated more than 140 trains, transporting more than 4.5 billion yuan worth of goods between Europe and Asia. The first trains carried consumer products such as clothing, and car parts, but over time they gradually shifted to higher value-added products such as photovoltaic【光伏】modules【模块】, LCD panels, motorcycles, and elevators.”

自2021年9月28日首趟列车从上海发往德国汉堡以来，上海号已开行了140多趟列车，在欧亚之间运送了价值超过45亿元的货物。首批列车运载的是服装、汽车配件等消费品，但随着时间的推移，逐渐转向光伏组件、液晶面板、摩托车和电梯等高附加值产品。

In 2014, Shanghai Commission of Commerce launched a 'single window' policy to help boost cross-border trade and provide convenient services to international traders.

“Shanghai is at the core of the Yangtze River Delta region, and we hope the China-Europe freight train is going to further connect the Eurasian continent.”

The policy now services more than 600,000 companies, covering the whole process of customs clearance and trade supervision. The National Development and Reform Commission said that during the past ten years, approximately 77,000 China-Europe freight trains have made the trip, delivering goods to 217 cities in 25 European and Eurasian countries.

该政策目前已服务60多万家企业，覆盖通关和贸易监管全过程。国家发改委表示，过去十年间，中欧货运班列已累计开行约7.7万列，将货物运抵欧洲和欧亚25个国家的217个城市。
