In 2017, the new 480-kilometre Mombasa–Nairobi railway was opened. 2017年，全长480公里的新建蒙巴萨—内罗毕铁路开通。
Before then, the only transport links between Mombasa, Kenya's main port, and Nairobi, Kenya's capital, were rough roads and an old railway line completed in 1901. 在此之前，连接肯尼亚主要港口蒙巴萨与首都内罗毕的交通方式，仅有几条路况不佳的公路和一条建于1901年的铁路。
The old trains were very slow. 老式火车速度极慢，
It took 10 hours to get to Nairobi from Mombasa by train. 从蒙巴萨乘火车到内罗毕需要10个小时。
However, the new railway, built with China's help, has already cut the travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi to about five to six hours for passengers. 然而，中国援建的新铁路已将蒙巴萨与内罗毕之间的行程时间缩短至约五到六小时。
Now, more than two million people use it every year. 目前，每年有超过200万人搭乘这条铁路上的列车出行。
Local Kenyans have benefited a lot from the new railway. 肯尼亚本地居民从这条新铁路中获益良多。
A government worker said, 'I'm very happy with the new railway built by our Chinese friends. 一位政府工作人员说：“我对中国朋友修建的这条新铁路非常满意。
Many changes have taken place in the town over the last few years, and the people who live here have become rich.' 过去几年，镇上发生了许多变化，住在这里的人们也越来越富裕了。”
A businessman said, 'My experience of using the train since 2017 has been good. 一位商人说：“自2017年以来，我的乘车体验一直很好。
It is very convenient and doesn't cost much money. 这条铁路既方便又实惠，
I am able to get to places on time and make business deals with ease.' 我能准时抵达目的地，轻松达成交易。”
The railway has also made the transport of food easier. 这条铁路也为食品运输提供了极大便利。
'It used to take hundreds of lorries to carry food between the two cities, but now it takes only two or three trains,' said a supermarket manager. 一位超市经理表示：“过去，两地间运输食品需要数百辆卡车，而现在，只需两三列火车就能完成。”
As a result, people now have more fresh food to eat. 因此，如今人们能吃上更多新鲜的食物了。
Although China and Kenya are far away from each other, the railway shows how different countries can work together to build a better world. 尽管中国与肯尼亚相距遥远，但这条铁路展示了不同国家如何携手合作，共建更加美好的世界。
