有如此一句话：陇海线在郑州与京广线接轨。不少人翻译成The Lianyungang-Lanzhou Railway is contacted to the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway at Zhengzhou.，其实句子非常简单，重点是接轨二字，正确的使用方法应该是be connected to而不是be contacted to。 接轨一词现在在日常用得愈加多，其第一个意思是连接铁路，可以翻译为to link/connect the rails。比如The Qinghai-Tibet Railway was finally completed when rails were linked/connected at Lhasa on October 15, 2005.（2005年十月15日青藏铁路在拉萨接轨，最后建成。）

接轨第二个意思是使宇航器在太空相互衔接，即对接，英语可以翻译为to link up with, to dock with/on, to be docked with/on。比如The space shuttle has linked up/docked with the international space station,（这架航天飞机已经与国际空间站接轨。）

它还有第三个意思即便两种规范或办法相互衔接，英语可翻译为to link up with, to integrate, to be geared to, to switch over to。比如The expert talked about how to make our statistical1 system link up with the international standards.（这位专家谈论到怎么样使大家的统计规范与国际标准接轨。）

With its entry into the WTO, China's domestic textile and textile machinery2 markets have integrated with the world market.（伴随加入世贸组织，中国国内的纺织市场和纺织机械市场已经与国际市场接轨。）

A growing number of companies have adopted this new quality management system, which is geared to international standards.（愈加多的公司已经使用这个与国际标准接轨的新的水平管理体系。）

In order to solve these problems, we should switch over to international practices and accelerate the progress of internationalizayion.（为解决这类问题，大家应该与国际惯例接轨，并加速国际化进程。）
