今天上午10點，廣深港高鐵香港段開通儀式在香港舉行。明天(23日)早上7點，廣深港高鐵香港段將正式開通運營，我國的高鐵家族中也將加入新的一員——“動感號”列車組。
An opening ceremony for the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link was held on Saturday in the special administrative region, one day ahead of the official start of operations.
“動感號”形如其名，流暢的車身和動感的花紋是它的標誌。車身以銀色為底色，兩邊用白色及紅色波浪紋為裝飾，列車頭尾兩側的橙色弧形花紋十分醒目，讓列車的“身材”顯得更加流暢，也充滿活力。
Passengers can now travel from Hong Kong's West Kowloon Station directly to 44 destinations on the Chinese mainland. The service will realize the "one-hour living circle" for Hong Kong and cities in the surrounding Greater Bay Area – travelling to and from Hong Kong will take only an hour – and will reduce rail travel time to Beijing from 24 to less than nine hours.
它們已然蓄勢待發，等正式開通以後，列車將直達內地44個站點。屆時，從香港西九龍站到北京西站將僅需不到9小時。
The high-speed train, named "Vibrant Express," is a customized "Hong Kong version" of the CRH380A technology. The journey from the West Kowloon high-speed rail station to Guangdong's Futian Station takes passengers through a tunnel that connects the Hong Kong section of the express rail to the Chinese mainland rail network.
廣深港高鐵香港段起於香港西九龍填海區西九龍總站，止於香港與深圳的邊境。全長26公里全部都是隧道，沿途不設站，這樣就可以不佔用香港寶貴的地面空間，也可以防止對高鐵兩側的居民造成影響。列車最高運營時速為200公里。
The West Kowloon high-speed rail station sits right next to an integrated arts and culture hub. And it's connected to Hong Kong’s well-developed public transport system. It will become Hong Kong's new gateway to the Chinese mainland and is expected to be another boost to the city’s vitality and efficiency.
香港段總站西九龍站是一個地下車站，緊鄰當地藝術文化中心，也是香港境內的綜合交通樞紐之一。現在有了廣深港高鐵的加持，必將進一步推動兩地交流，成為名符其實的“祖國南大門”。
The region has now entered the new era of high-speed rail, said Carrie Lam, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), at the ceremony.
香港特別行政區行政長官林鄭月娥在接受央廣記者採訪時表示，高鐵不僅連通了香港與內地44個城市，還將有力推動香港融入國家發展大局。
廣深港高鐵香港段只有短短的26公里，但它讓香港一下邁入了“高鐵時代”。在林鄭月娥看來，它不僅把香港與總長超過2.5萬公里的國家高鐵網絡連接在一起，更會推動香港的經濟社會發展和民生改善。
