由于新冠病毒的影響，日本新干線的乘客人數(shù)大幅下降，JR東日本公司開始了一項試驗，首次利用新干線上的座位將新鮮海鮮從宮城縣運送到東京。
Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, the number of passengers on the Tohoku Shinkansen is only 30% of the same period last year as of last week.

The Shinkansen arrived at Tokyo Station in about two hours, and was served as sashimi and vinegared food at the seafood restaurant on the premises after 2:00 pm.
大約兩小時后，這輛新干線就抵達(dá)了東京站，下午2點后，站內(nèi)的海鮮餐廳就開始供應(yīng)生魚片和醋味食品。
According to the fishermen who participated in the initiative, when it comes to transportation by truck, it often arrives in Tokyo the next day, but if you use the Shinkansen, you can shorten the time until it is provided at restaurants by a whole day.
據(jù)參與這一試驗的漁民說，如果用卡車運輸，海鮮通常會在第二天到達(dá)東京，但如果使用新干線，可以在一天之內(nèi)就運輸?shù)讲宛^并端上餐桌。

The use of the Tohoku Shinkansen has dropped significantly due to the impact of the new coronavirus, and the number of passengers in May, when the emergency was announced, dropped to 10% of the same period last year.
由于新冠病毒的影響，東北新干線的上座率大幅下降，5月份日本宣布進(jìn)入緊急狀態(tài)時，乘客人數(shù)已降至去年同期的10%。
Since then, the number of passengers has been gradually recovering, but last week it remained at about 30% of the same period last year, and it is expected that this situation will continue for a long time.
此后，乘客數(shù)量逐漸恢復(fù)，但上周仍保持在去年同期的30%左右，預(yù)計這種情況將持續(xù)很長一段時間。
For this reason, JR East is extensively considering measures to compensate for the decline in revenues from the railway business, and as one of them, has begun an experiment to transport local specialty products to Tokyo by the Shinkansen.
為此，JR東日本公司正考慮采取多種措施彌補鐵路業(yè)務(wù)收入的下降，作為其中一項措施，該公司已開始試驗通過新干線將當(dāng)?shù)靥禺a(chǎn)運輸?shù)綎|京。

Hiromitsu Ito, president of the fishery industry Kaiyu, said, "Since freshness is the key to marine products, I think this is an epoch-making thing that will revolutionize logistics."
漁業(yè)企業(yè)凱宇的總裁伊藤宏光說：“由于新鮮是海產(chǎn)品的關(guān)鍵，我認(rèn)為這是劃時代的事情，將徹底改變物流業(yè)。”
