印度铁路拟引进玻璃顶棚豪华列车
NEW DELHI: Train passengers and tourists can now look forward to travelling in state-of-the-art luxurious coaches having glass ceiling and equipped with infotainment system, similar to that in Switzerland.
The basic objective behind such coaches is to promote tourism and woo upscale tourists from both India and abroad, IRCTC Chairman and Managing Director A K Manocha said on Monday.
铁路乘客和游客能指望坐上玻璃顶棚豪华列车了，这种列车配备信息娱乐系统，类似瑞士的豪华列车。
引进豪华列车的基本目的是促进旅游业的发展，吸引国内外的高端游客，印度铁路餐饮和旅游公司董事长兼总经理马诺查(Dr A K Manocha)说。

Jointly designed by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC); Research, Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), and Integral Coach Factory at Perambur, Glass ceiling coaches will be operational in December this year.
"The first coach will be tagged in a regular train in the Kashmir Valley while the other two will be part of some train moving through the picturesque Araku Valley in Visakhapatnam," he said.
该列车设计方为印度铁路餐饮和旅游公司、印度铁道部设计及标准组织以及布伦贝尔整厢工厂(Integral Coach Factory)。据悉，玻璃顶棚豪华列车将与今年12月开始运行。
马诺查透露，第一节车厢将会加在克什米尔山谷里的常规列车中，另有两节车厢将会加在阿拉库峡谷的倾斜列车中。
The trains having such luxurious coaches, giving an aerial view, would be decided later, Manocha added.
"There are some trains with glass ceiling in foreign countries like Switzerland, which enjoy the patronage of tourists. We believe such coaches would also give a fillip to rail tourism in India," the IRCTC Chairman added.
车厢内部极度奢华，乘客可以通过玻璃顶棚俯瞰景观。
他说：“国外有一些玻璃顶棚式列车，比如瑞士，这种列车会吸引游客。我们相信，这种车厢也将会刺激印度火车旅游的发展。”

This is fine in cooler climates like Switzerland. In Indian summers the passengers will roast.
在瑞士那样凉爽气候的国家跑是可以的，
在印度的夏天，乘客坐在里面会热坏的

If there are roof top travelers in those trains, then passengers inside can see their private parts. Ugh!
车顶上要是坐着人的话，车内乘客就可以看到他们的私处的
