文字稿
This is where steam meets electricity – and where heritage meets wattage.
在這里，蒸汽遇見(jiàn)電氣，歷史遺產(chǎn)邂逅電流功率。
It's the Watercress Line in Hampshire (UK) – now lit up in a spectacular Christmas mix of light and wonder.
這是英國(guó)漢普郡被俗稱為 “豆瓣菜線（Watercress Line）” 的鐵路，現(xiàn)在，燈光和奇觀融為一道壯麗的圣誕風(fēng)景線，照亮了沿途的路。
There are almost too many colours to count. It took eight weeks to design and two weeks to rig the lights on a train run by a not-for-profit group of steam enthusiasts.
燈光裝飾色彩繽紛，讓人眼花繚亂。完成設(shè)計(jì)花了八周的時(shí)間，安裝車上的燈花了兩周的時(shí)間，這列火車由一個(gè)非盈利性的蒸汽愛(ài)好者團(tuán)體經(jīng)營(yíng)。
Passenger 1
Oh, it’s amazing, my boy’s so happy; it’s really made them… made their day.
乘客1
“太好了，我兒子很高興；這次體驗(yàn)真的讓孩子們開(kāi)心壞了?！?/p>
Passenger 2
The kids are loving it – it’s a really good experience. Nice to do something Christmassy!
乘客2
“孩子們都非常喜歡這里，這是一次很好的經(jīng)歷。很高興能做點(diǎn)有圣誕氣氛的事情！”
This isn't the only heritage line to put Christmas lights on trains. This one is designed by Simon Horn, who usually creates concert lighting for the likes of Westlife and Olly Murs.
這并不是唯一一條在火車上安裝圣誕燈飾的觀光遺產(chǎn)鐵路。這列火車上的燈飾是由西蒙·霍恩設(shè)計(jì)的，他通常為像西城男孩組合和奧利·莫爾斯這樣的人打造演唱會(huì)上的燈光效果。
Simon Horn, Lighting designer
You're lighting a pop star and you've got the band, the pop star, you’ve got the sound system, and you're just painting a picture around them. But this was all about the lights – so like “this can't go wrong” – so, I don't think I've ever been as proud as I am of this. It's really touching my heart.
西蒙·霍恩 燈光設(shè)計(jì)師
“為流行歌星設(shè)計(jì)燈光時(shí)，樂(lè)隊(duì)、流行歌星和音響系統(tǒng)都已經(jīng)定好了，你只需要根據(jù)這些要素加以裝飾就行了。但在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目中，燈光才是主角，所以我開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō) ‘肯定不會(huì)出什么問(wèn)題’。我想我從來(lái)沒(méi)有為自己的作品感到如此驕傲。這次經(jīng)歷真的讓我很感動(dòng)?！?/p>
The train is 120 metres long and cabling LED lights has not been easy. There is one more nagging question.
這列火車長(zhǎng)120米，在車身上鋪設(shè)發(fā)光二極管并不容易。這就引出了一個(gè)老生常談的問(wèn)題。
Duncan Kennedy, BBC Reporter
How many lights are there on this train?
鄧肯·肯尼迪 BBC通訊員
“這列火車上一共裝了多少盞燈？”
Simon Horn, Lighting designer
There’s 14,000 individual LEDs on this train.
西蒙·霍恩 燈光設(shè)計(jì)師
“這列火車上共裝有1萬(wàn)4千盞單個(gè)的發(fā)光二極管?！?/p>
Trains are COVID-safe in an operation kept going by around 500 volunteers.
在大約500名志愿者的維持下，火車符合疫情安全要求，得以繼續(xù)運(yùn)行。
Alison Horton, volunteer, Watercress Line
You have steam trains – we have the magic of Christmas and we have these wonderful lights, so it's just simply magical.
艾莉森·霍頓 “豆瓣菜線（Watercress Line）” 志愿者
“你不僅能乘坐蒸汽火車，還能體驗(yàn)圣誕節(jié)的魔力，欣賞美麗的燈光，這簡(jiǎn)直太神奇了?！?/p>
Magic that now runs all the way to Christmas and beyond – light amid the darkness of 2020.
現(xiàn)在，這列充滿魔力的火車會(huì)一直運(yùn)行到圣誕節(jié)后，可謂是2020年的黑暗中閃爍的一線光明。
