On Tuesday evening, all trains in Germany stopped. A computer system did not work.

週二晚上，德國所有列車停駛，原因是一個電腦系統故障。

The trains use a special radio system. Drivers use it to talk to the control center. This system broke. All trains stopped at stations to keep people safe.

列車使用一套特殊的無線電系統，司機用來與控制中心聯繫。由於該系統損壞，所有列車均停在車站以確保乘客安全。

Deutsche Bahn gave people money for hotels and taxis. Some people stayed on the trains. The company knows why the system broke, but they did not tell the public.

德國鐵路（Deutsche Bahn）為乘客支付了酒店和計程車費用。部分乘客則留在列車上。公司知道系統損壞的原因，但尚未向大眾公布。

Trains in Berlin started to move again after two hours. However, many trains were still late on Wednesday morning. Many people are unhappy because German trains are often late.

柏林的列車在兩小時後恢復運行。然而，許多列車在週三早上依然延遲。許多人對此感到不滿，因為德國列車經常延誤。

Some trains are moving now, but there are still many problems.

部分列車目前已恢復運行，但仍存在許多問題。

Deutsche Bahn stopped all rail operations on Tuesday evening after a technical problem occurred within its digital communication system.

德國鐵路（Deutsche Bahn）在週二晚上因數位通訊系統出現技術問題，而停止了所有鐵路運作。

The shutdown was caused by a failure of the Global System for Mobile Communications–Railway (GSM-R). This is a standard European wireless system used since 2000 to allow train drivers and control centers to exchange essential voice and data. Because of this failure, all trains had to stop immediately at stations to ensure passenger safety. Although CEO Evelyn Palla first stated that the exact cause was unclear, the company later emphasized that the problem had been identified, even though they did not share the specific details.

此次停運是由於全球行動通訊系統-鐵路（GSM-R）故障引起。這是一個自 2000 年起使用的歐洲標準無線系統，讓列車司機與控制中心能夠交換必要的語音與數據。由於此次故障，所有列車必須立即在車站停駛，以確保乘客安全。儘管執行長 Evelyn Palla 最初表示確切原因尚不清楚，但公司隨後強調問題已獲識別，儘管他們並未分享具體細節。

To help affected passengers, Deutsche Bahn provided hotel and taxi vouchers, and some passengers used stationary trains as temporary shelters. Services began to return slowly; for example, the Berlin commuter network resumed movement about two hours after the incident. However, the company warned that delays and cancellations would likely continue until Wednesday morning. This event happens at a time when the state-owned operator is facing heavy criticism for poor punctuality. Consequently, the company has started major infrastructure projects to fix years of underinvestment. It is important to note that while previous total shutdowns were usually caused by bad weather, this event was a rare case of a total halt caused by a technical failure.

為了幫助受影響的乘客，德國鐵路提供了酒店與計程車代金券，部分乘客則將停駛的列車作為臨時避難所。服務開始緩慢恢復；例如，柏林的通勤網絡在事件發生約兩小時後恢復運行。然而，公司警告延遲與取消的情況可能會持續到週三早上。此次事件發生在該國營營運商因準點率不佳而面臨嚴厲批評之際。因此，公司已啟動重大基礎設施計畫，以解決多年來的投資不足問題。值得注意的是，先前的大規模停運通常由惡劣天氣引起，而此次則是罕見由技術故障導致的全面停運。

Rail services have partially restarted, but the network is still experiencing significant delays and irregularities.

鐵路服務已部分恢復，但網路仍出現顯著延遲與不正常情況。

Deutsche Bahn experienced a comprehensive cessation of rail operations on Tuesday evening due to a technical malfunction within its digital communication infrastructure.

由於數位通訊基礎設施出現技術故障，德國鐵路（Deutsche Bahn）於週二晚上經歷了全面的鐵路營運中斷。

The operational paralysis was precipitated by a failure of the Global System for Mobile Communications–Railway (GSM-R), a standardized European wireless protocol implemented since 2000 to facilitate critical data and voice exchanges between locomotive engineers and traffic control centers. This systemic disruption necessitated the immediate immobilization of all rolling stock at stations to ensure passenger safety and operational coordination. While CEO Evelyn Palla initially indicated a lack of clarity regarding the precise etiology of the failure, subsequent corporate communications asserted that the cause had been identified, although the specific nature of the malfunction remained undisclosed.

此次營運癱瘓是由於 GSM-R（全球行動通訊系統—鐵路）故障引起的。這是一個自 2000 年起實行的歐洲標準無線協定，用於便利機車司機與交通控制中心之間的關鍵數據與語音交換。此次系統中斷導致所有列車必須立即在車站停駛，以確保乘客安全與營運協調。雖然執行長 Evelyn Palla 最初表示尚不清楚故障的確切病因，但隨後的公司公告稱已確認原因，儘管故障的具體性質仍未對外披露。

In response to the outage, Deutsche Bahn implemented mitigation strategies including the provision of hotel and taxi vouchers, alongside the utilization of stationary trains as temporary passenger shelters. The restoration of services occurred incrementally; the Berlin commuter network and DB Regio Mitte reported a resumption of movement approximately two hours post-incident, though residual delays and cancellations were projected to persist until Wednesday morning. This event occurs within a broader context of systemic instability; the state-owned operator has been subject to increasing criticism regarding punctuality and reliability, prompting the commencement of extensive infrastructure overhauls to rectify long-term underinvestment. Notably, while previous total network suspensions were typically attributable to meteorological phenomena, this instance represents a rare occurrence of a total halt predicated on technical failure.

為了應對此次中斷，德國鐵路採取了緩解策略，包括提供飯店與計程車代金券，並將停駛列車作為臨時乘客避難所。服務隨後逐步恢復；柏林通勤網絡與 DB Regio Mitte 在事發約兩小時後恢復運行，但預計殘餘的延誤與取消將持續至週三早上。此次事件發生在系統不穩定的更廣泛背景之下；該國有營運商在準點率與可靠性方面面臨日益增加的批評，促使其開始進行大規模基礎設施翻修，以糾正長期的投資不足。值得注意的是，先前全網停運通常歸因於氣象現象，而此次則是罕見由技術故障導致的全面停擺。

Rail services have partially resumed, although the network continues to experience significant operational irregularities.

鐵路服務已部分恢復，但網路仍持續出現顯著的營運異常。
