该铁路向西班牙输送了大约3亿个口罩，几乎占西班牙2020年口罩进口总数的35%。

MADRID, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- Yiwu-Madrid (YXE) freight railway, the longest rail link in the world and an important part of the China-Europe freight trains network, has doubled its freight volume amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a Spanish media outlet has reported.

新华社马德里8月31日电 据西班牙媒体报道，义乌至马德里货运铁路是世界上最长的铁路线路，也是中欧班列的重要组成部分。在新冠肺炎疫情期间，其货运量翻倍。

Freight volume transported by such China-Europe freight trains as the YXE has doubled during the pandemic and increased by 110 percent in 2020, largely due to shipments of medical supplies from China to countries along the route, Madrid-based La Informacion newspaper reported on Sunday.

据马德里《La Informacion报》周日报道，在新冠疫情期间，YXE（义乌至马德里货运铁路）等中欧班列的货运量翻倍，2020年增长了110%，主要原因是中国向沿线国家运送了医疗物资。

Data shows that a total of 141 cargo trains arrived in Madrid in 2020, with 15,750 containers for two-way shipments, Carlos Santana, managing director of the subsidiary of the YXE train operator in Spain told Spanish News Agency EFE, according to the newspaper.

据该报纸报道，西班牙YXE（义乌至马德里货运铁路）列车运营商子公司总经理卡洛斯·桑塔纳(Carlos Santana)告诉西班牙新闻社，数据显示，2020年共有141列货运列车抵达马德里，其中15750个集装箱用于双向运输。

The YXE rail link, which connects the eastern Chinese commodity hub of Yiwu with the capital of Spain, has played a key role in transporting health equipment from China in the early stages of the epidemic.

连接中国东部商品中心义乌和西班牙首都马德里的YXE（义乌至马德里货运铁路），在疫情初期时发挥了关键作用，从中国运输了一批医疗物资。

The rail link transported around 300 million masks to Spain, almost 35 percent of all masks Spain imported in 2020.

这条铁路向西班牙运送了大约3亿个口罩，几乎占西班牙2020年进口口罩总数的35%。

Apart from masks, other goods delivered by YXE during the pandemic included auto parts, mechanical equipment and household appliances, as many goods traditionally shipped by sea were transported by train due to port closures or route changes, the newspaper quoted Santana as saying.

该报援引桑塔纳的话称，除口罩外，YXE（义乌至马德里货运铁路）在疫情期间运送的其他货物还包括汽车零部件、机械设备和家用电器，由于港口关闭或路线变更，许多传统的海运货物都改为通过火车运输。

Meanwhile, freight volume by YXE return trips from Madrid to Yiwu also registered a year-on-year increase of 46.84 percent.

与此同时，YXE（义乌至马德里货运铁路）从马德里到义乌的往返货运量也同比增长了46.84%。
