我國動車組史上最嚴禁菸令正式實施

China Railway Corporation issued new rules last Monday to further tighten up the smoking ban on trains, saying that any passengers who are caught twice violating the ban will be forbidden to purchase any high-speed train tickets across China.

中國鐵路總公司上週一發布了更嚴格的火車禁菸令新規，稱任何兩次違反禁菸令被抓的乘客將被禁止購買國內任何高鐵列車車票。

If a passenger smokes on a high-speed train, he or she will be fined and will have to promise not to violate the rules again, according to the new regulations.

根據這項新規，在高鐵列車上吸菸的乘客將被罰款，且必須保證不再違規。

If there is a second offence by the passenger, railway authorities can prohibit him or her from buying high-speed train tickets in the future.

如果該乘客再次違反禁菸令，鐵路部門可以禁止該乘客將來購買高鐵列車車票。

The new rule aims to build a credit system in the railway system, said an insider.

內部人士透露稱，此項新規的目的是建立一個鐵路系統的信用體系。

Smoking can trigger smoke alarms on a high-speed train, forcing the train to slow down or even stop. So it was listed as one of the dangerous behaviors on a high-speed train in 2014. A violator of the no-smoking rule may be fined up to 2,000 yuan.

吸菸會觸發高鐵列車上的煙霧報警器，迫使列車減速甚至停運。因此在2014年，吸菸被列爲高鐵列車上的危險行爲。違反禁菸令的乘客將面臨500至2000元的罰款。

Media reports about high-speed trains being forced to brake after passengers smoked on the vehicles have made headlines in recent years, showing a lack of safety awareness among passengers.

近幾年來，因乘客在車廂內吸菸，隨後高鐵被迫剎車的媒體報道經常成爲新聞頭條，這也顯示出乘客缺乏安全意識。
