中國與愛爾蘭即將開設直達航班

There could soon be a direct flight between China and Ireland - and one of the key driving forces behind the route is apparently Ireland's many famous film sights.

中國與愛爾蘭將開設直達航班，而關鍵的推力之一就是愛爾蘭聞名世界的電影場景。

That's according to a report in the Irish Independent, who claim that a route between Beijing and Dublin will be announced shortly.

據《愛爾蘭獨立報》報道稱，北京與都柏林直飛的航線即將開通。

The newspaper also proposes that Hainan Airlines could be a likely operator of the flight.

該報道還指出，海南航空極有可能是該條航線的運營商。

As for the film connection - well, Ireland, together with Northern Ireland, are home to countless locations that have been made famous through exposure in internationally famous films and TV series.

至於與電影的關聯--愛爾蘭與北愛爾蘭正是因爲是聞名世界的電影與電視劇的取景地，而享譽世界。

For example, when it comes to Game of Thrones alone, the Irish tourist board names many scenes and settings.

比如單就《權力的遊戲》而言，愛爾蘭旅遊局就以其中的地名來命名了許多景點。

As we've reported extensively over the last few months, there are fast expanding cultural and trade connections between China and Ireland.

正如我們近幾月的廣泛報道，中國和愛爾蘭的文化與貿易交往正越來越緊密。

For example, in March we revealed that Irish beef is set to be promoted in China thanks to a multi-million pound investment from the European Union and the Irish Food Board.

例如，我們三月份時的報道曾指出，由於歐盟與愛爾蘭食品委員會的數百萬投資，愛爾蘭的牛肉將在中國得到推廣。
